Melia Costa Del Sol sits in a prime spot on Torremolinos’ iconic Paseo Marítimo, directly facing Bajondillo Beach. Step out to the promenade for a morning jog, or wander 5–10 minutes along the seafront to reach Torremolinos’ shops, tapas bars and chilled chiringuitos.

Torremolinos itself is a classic Costa Del Sol all-rounder – long sandy beaches, a palm-lined promenade, easy access to Malaga’s old town, and plenty of nightlife if you want it. Inland, hiking trails and the Jardin Botánico Molino de Inca offer a greener, quieter side to the resort.
