Beach


The hotel sits directly on the shores of El Toyo beach, which is known for its clear waters and a mix of sand and pebbles. This is a public beach, so any sun loungers or umbrellas provided in the hotel's dedicated section are at an extra charge. It is a fantastic spot for a sunset stroll or an early morning dip in the sea while you enjoy the views of the Alboran coast.


Sport and Entertainment


There is never a dull moment here with on-site paddle tennis courts and a modern gym for your morning workout. You’ll also find several world-class golf courses within an easy 5-minute drive of the hotel. As the sun sets, the outdoor terrace comes alive with professional shows and live music that provide a chic setting for a tranquil evening drink under the stars.


Family Amenities


Kids will love the dedicated splash zone and the Barcy Club, which offers a supervised programme of games and activities for different age groups.
