When a hotel chain successfully combines top-tier holiday destinations with a catalogue of versatile and visually striking film locations, it’s no surprise that it captures the attention of the audiovisual industry.
Such is the case with Blau Hotels, returning to Shooting Locations Marketplace 2025 after a highly valuable experience at the October 2024 edition.
Their renewed presence confirms the industry’s growing interest in spaces that not only offer beauty, but also technical facilities, specialised services and a clear commitment to production needs.
A network of locations as diverse as it is cinematic
Asturias, Mallorca, and Cuba. Three very different settings, three distinctive aesthetics, three ways to enrich a story.
In the north of Spain, the Gran Hotel Las Caldas and Las Caldas by Blau offer a natural environment just minutes from Oviedo—ideal for shoots seeking authenticity, rural charm or lush landscapes.
With a focus on wellness, spa treatments and tranquillity, these hotels offer not just a versatile set, but also a comfortable and functional base of operations for any production crew.
In Mallorca, Blau Colonia Sant Jordi Resort & Spa and Blau Punta Reina provide what many projects look for: sea, Mediterranean light, unspoilt beaches and straightforward logistics.
The former stands out for its commitment to sustainability, perfect for productions aiming to reflect a cared-for natural setting.
The latter, with its 90,000 m² between Cala Mandia and Cala Estany d’en Mas, combines sea views, all-inclusive service and infrastructure suitable for everything from family films to commercials or period series.
In Cuba, Blau Varadero Hotel adds a third visual palette: modern architecture, Caribbean waters and a cultural and aesthetic backdrop that enhances any story.
Its experience hosting events and willingness to collaborate with production companies make it a highly attractive option for international projects looking to film on the island with minimal friction.
Services designed to support every shoot
Beyond the location itself, Blau Hotels understands what a production needs: large rooms for technical teams, high-quality catering, flexible staff, adaptable spaces and a clear grasp of the logistics involved in turning a hotel into a set.
Their team is well-versed in working with the audiovisual sector, reducing prep times and helping avoid unforeseen issues.
With this clear vision and the experience gained from their previous participation, Blau Hotels returns this October to Shooting Locations Marketplace in Valladolid to continue building alliances with producers, location scouts and industry professionals.
Their presence once again confirms that tourism and cinema can go hand in hand—when there’s a willingness to adapt and an offer designed to make it possible.
