Vistamar AparthotelBenalmadena, Costa del Sol

The Vistamar is set within well-tended gardens, just a five-minute walk from a long stretch of sand, and a 10-minute taxi ride from the lively centre of Benalmadena. Plus, you can’t miss it as the exteriors are painted in eye-catching sunflower-yellow.

Inside, the hotel has an authentic, Spanish feel. Rooms are brightly decorated and come with wooden furniture. One bedroom apartments feature kitchenettes, which include electric hobs, a microwave, and a fridge. Air conditioning comes as standard.

POOL AREA

There’s a rectangular-shaped main offering and a separate, smaller paddling pool for children. You’ll find them fringed with loungers and straw parasols. A pool bar means you won’t go thirsty.

RESTAURANTS & BARS

A buffet restaurant looks after mealtimes, with favourites like scrambled eggs and warm croissants in the mornings, and a variety of international offerings in the evenings. You’ll find Bar Comodoro* on the sun terrace, too, serving up lighter bites and ice-cold drinks.

SPORTS & ACTIVITIES

The games room* includes a dart board, pool tables and an air hockey table, while those looking to show off their putting skills will love the minigolf course. There’s a hotel-run kids’ club for little ones, too, running from June to September. And, if you want to explore Benalmadena, bikes are available to hire.

ENTERTAINMENT

You’ll find occasional shows, including live music and magicians, running from June to September.
