Map & location
Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol, Spain
Hotel Best Triton enjoys one of Benalmadena’s classic addresses: right on the beachfront promenade, framed by mature gardens and looking out towards the marina.
Step through the garden gate and you’re on the seafront, with a choice of sandy beaches and chiringuitos just moments away. Puerto Marina – home to boat trips, bars, restaurants and an aquarium – is roughly 200m along the promenade, so evening strolls and waterside dinners are effortless.
Benalmadena’s wider attractions are close too: the hilltop Old Town with its whitewashed streets, Arroyo de la Miel with cafés and shops, and easy day trips to Malaga city by train or bus.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 45 minutes (Malaga – AGP)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s gardens step down towards the promenade, framing multiple pools with views of the sea and marina:
• Three outdoor freshwater pools – separate areas with sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols. One of the pools features Balinese beds and a more elevated, laid‑back feel on the roof terrace (for premium room guests).
• Rooftop pool – an outdoor pool on the roof terrace for premium room guests only, open weather‑permitting and ideal for quieter sunbathing with sea‑view backdrops.
• Indoor pool with whirlpool – located within the spa centre, the indoor heated pool is perfect for cooler days and includes a whirlpool area. Use of the indoor pool typically incurs a local charge and is adult‑oriented.
• Splash park – a dedicated children’s splash area with tipping water bucket, domes, buckets and spouts, generally open for at least four hours during the day (commonly around 10:00–14:00, subject to occupancy and weather).
Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit. Age, height or weight restrictions may apply in the splash park.
The beach itself is just beyond the garden gate, with a sandy shoreline, beach bars and watersports (seasonal, independently operated) lining the promenade.
