Wake up to leisurely breakfasts at Tesela, the buffet restaurant serving a generous spread with live show-cooking stations by the pool. In the evening, L’attitude Banús Restaurant brings a more intimate, à la carte feel with carefully presented dishes beside the pool terrace (seasonal opening, dress code applies).

The stylish Lobby Bar is your go-to for freshly mixed cocktails, Spanish wines and premium spirits from mid-morning until late evening – ideal before heading out to the marina, or for a nightcap when you return. Seasonal opening dates, reservations, supplements and dress codes may vary; check the latest information on arrival.

The hotel is built around two freshwater outdoor pools fringed with loungers and parasols – the perfect place to unwind with a book and a cool drink. Both outdoor pools typically operate from early April to mid-November, with pool towels available for a refundable deposit.

When you’re ready for the sea, the nearest beach is roughly 750m away. Walk down for a morning swim, or spend the afternoon hopping between beach bars and chiringuitos along the sand. Use of the indoor pool forms part of the spa circuit and carries a local charge.

Wellness is a major draw at Senator Banus.
