Map & location
Torremolinos, Costa Del Sol, Spain
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.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
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 & wellness
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.
