A court notice displayed at the entrances and inside the Solebello Hotel in La Mata warns guests and occupants that the establishment will be closed and evicted on 13th July 2026 at 9:15 a.m. This action follows an order from the civil section of the Court of First Instance of Torrevieja, signed by the judge of square number 4.
The document relates to a court-ordered eviction initiated by the company Eurointerfisa. This name appears on the licence issued by Torrevieja City Council in 2018, which is still displayed in the hotel lobby identifying them as the owner. During the eviction proceedings, the court discovered the property was occupied by third parties and held a hearing for them to provide proof of their legal right to stay.
Fraudulent contracts
The legal proceedings date back to months before the controversy surrounding the operations of the hotel. Several residents living in the hotel rooms presented valid rental agreements with Mazart Global Group. However, the judge rejected these documents because the ruling stated there was no record of Mazart Global Group having the legal standing to lease the property. The resolution stresses that when the contract was signed in October 2025, the right to operate the hotel belonged solely and exclusively to Eurointerfisa SL.
Abandoned property
The notice states that all guests and occupants must vacate their rooms and common areas by the specified date and time. Located on Calle del Mar in Torrevieja, the hotel features 49 rooms. Many of these are currently occupied, both by individuals holding valid but fraudulent lease agreements—as the person renting through straw men did not actually own the property—and by others who have occupied the premises over recent months.
According to the court notice, any belongings left behind in the rooms or common areas will be considered abandoned and will become the property of the building owner, in line with the Civil Procedure Law and the Civil Code. There is no official record of the total number of residents and occupants currently inside the building.
The eviction process
The eviction, which is a legal action to hand over a property or establishment to the person recognised by a court order, will effectively end the occupation of the space. The notice states that if people are found inside the rooms or common areas, they will be forcibly removed by law enforcement.
The Hotel Solebello remains officially listed as a three-star establishment in the records of the Valencian Regional Government. It operated normally from its construction in the 2000s until early 2025. At that point, rental agreements began to be signed that were later proven to be fraudulent, arranged by individuals unrelated to the original owners, who subsequently reported the matter.
Several tenants have also reported these rental agreements as alleged housing fraud, having paid up to 750 euro per month for rooms. These rentals were arranged through intermediaries who personally demanded payments from tenants, including estimated fixed amounts for electricity, internet, and water consumption due to the lack of individual metres. This has created a peculiar situation inside the building. The property maintains the appearance of a hotel, with its doors wide open, an empty reception area, and closed dining rooms and lounges, yet it is occupied by residents. The contracts, written in Russian and Spanish, do not specify the characteristics or square footage of the apartments, nor do they mention that they are actually rooms in an aparthotel.
Security concerns
Over the last three months, residents of La Mata have reported an alleged increase in security problems around the building, which has supposedly become a base for a group of people engaging in criminal activity such as robberies and purse snatchings.
In this context, several incidents occurred around the hotel on Tuesday night, which were later shared on social media. The images show a group of people throwing the contents of a hotel fire extinguisher at another person before striking them in the head. The victim, who was also insulted, is of Russian origin and was allegedly responsible for offering the rental contracts recently finalised by a real estate office represented by a Spanish agent. This business operates under the name of a well-known real estate company from Callosa de Segura that went bankrupt in the 2000s.
The Guardia Civil, National Police, Local Police, and the Generalitat’s inspection service acted jointly on Tuesday, 2nd June, to verify the condition of the property following public concern and numerous complaints regarding activity around the establishment. The eviction order was signed by the judge two days later.
