Dining at Hotel IPV Palace & Spa revolves around Mediterranean flavours and international favourites.

Doña Lola Restaurant is the main buffet venue, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations and a good spread of hot and cold dishes. Highchairs are available for younger guests and there’s a smart-casual dress code (no beachwear).

La Alacena is the à la carte restaurant, open for dinner on selected dates (typically winter season and depending on occupancy). Expect Spanish and international dishes in a more intimate setting – reservations and supplements may apply depending on your board basis.

For drinks, there are three bars, including:
– A relaxed Beach Club set by the pool and beachfront, ideal for daytime cocktails and sunset drinks (usually open May–October, subject to occupancy).
– A comfortable Lobby Bar for pre-dinner or late-night drinks.

Facilities, opening times and dress codes can vary by season; always check the latest details once in resort.

There are two outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool. The main pool area looks out towards the sea and comes with a spacious sun terrace, sunbeds and parasols – a relaxed setting for long, lazy days. Pool towels are provided against a refundable deposit.

From the gardens you can walk straight out onto Fuengirola’s wide sandy beach, which stretches for kilometres in both directions. Calm, gently shelving waters make it especially suitable for families, and the seafront promenade is perfect for pre-dinner strolls.
