Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s pool scene is designed for laid-back days in the sun. There are two outdoor freshwater pools, each with a surrounding sunbathing terrace lined with loungers and parasols.

One pool features a separate children’s section, ideal if you’re travelling with younger guests and want them close by while you relax. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can pack lighter.

Both pools are typically open between late March and early November (roughly 28 March–1 November), but opening dates, depths and facilities may vary by season and weather conditions.

When you fancy a change of scenery, the nearest beach is around 550m away. Puerto Banus’ coastline blends sandy stretches with beach clubs and laid-back chiringuitos (beach bars), so you can switch between chilled sunbathing and champagne-fuelled afternoons with ease.
