Map & location


Torremolinos, Costa Del Sol, Spain

Few addresses in Torremolinos are as prime as this. Melia Costa Del Sol sits right on the seafront promenade overlooking Playa de Bajondillo, so you can step straight out onto the sand or wander along the paseo to beachfront chiringuitos, cafés and ice cream parlours.

The resort centre is an easy walk away – close enough for shopping, tapas and nightlife, but far enough that the hotel still feels relaxed. It’s also a handy base for day trips to Malaga’s old town, the white villages of Mijas and the wider Costa del Sol coastline.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 30 Minutes
