Location

Base yourself in Torremolinos, one of the Costa del Sol’s classic resorts where golden beaches meet Andalucian flavour. From the hotel you can be browsing shops and sipping café con leche at local bars in minutes, while the seafront promenade and 7km of sandy coastline are close enough for daily strolls.

Torremolinos itself is brimming with things to do: wander up to the Church of San Miguel and Pimentel Tower, escape to the lush Jardin Botánico Molino de Inca, or dive into the Fisherman’s District for authentic chargrilled seafood and traditional tapas. As night falls, the resort shifts gear with chill-out bars, Irish pubs, flamenco venues and festivals that spill onto lively streets like Calle San Miguel.

Restaurants and Bars

Start and end the day at Terra, the main buffet restaurant, serving international and Mediterranean favourites at breakfast and dinner, backed up by show-cooking stations. There’s plenty of choice for relaxed grazing, with the option of set menus on quieter days depending on occupancy.

For drinks, you’re well covered:

  • Agua Lobby Bar – open roughly 10:00–00:00 (seasonal/occupancy dependent), ideal for pre-dinner aperitifs or a relaxed nightcap. Smart-casual dress is appreciated (no beachwear).
  • Pool Bar – steps from your sunlounger, serving drinks and snacks through the day.
  • Vértigo Rooftop Bar – the hotel’s star turn, usually open about 18:00–00:00 (depending on occupancy), with elevated views and a more intimate, loungey feel for sunset cocktails.

Board inclusions and opening times can vary by season and occupancy; supplements may apply for some items or venues when you’re staying on Room Only, Bed & Breakfast or Half Board.

Pool Areas and Beach

The focal point of the hotel is its outdoor freshwater pool, edged with loungers, hammocks, Balinese beds and parasols – a grown-up space designed for long, lazy days. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can pack lighter.

While there isn’t a beachfront setting, you’re only about 1km from the sand, with Torremolinos’ string of broad, golden beaches and lively chiringuitos (beach bars) close enough to wander down for sea swims and sunset strolls.

Spa, Sports and Other Facilities

Keep on top of your fitness routine in the air-conditioned gym, open approximately 08:00–20:00, featuring cardio machines, an aerobics studio and stretching zone.

Back at reception you’ll find a concierge service and luggage storage, plus a small selection of hire items – including kettles, pushchairs* and sun tents* – that can make your stay even smoother. Occasional daytime entertainment runs throughout the year, so expect low-key activities without disturbing the relaxed atmosphere.
