H10 Estepona Palace

Located on the sunny Costa del Sol, H10 Estepona Palace is designed in the style of a whitewashed Andalusian palace. Boasting a seafront location, it’s just a short stroll from long sandy beaches. While onsite, there are two large outdoor swimming pools (one heated in winter). The little princes and princesses (aged 4-12) have their own separate area to splash around in. Plus, they can join the Daisy Club for a fun range of activities, including painting, crafts, water games and sports.

The hotel’s Despacio Beauty Centre gives you the opportunity to pamper both your body and mind with its sauna, Jacuzzi®, dynamic pool, shower temple and ice fountain. For a personal touch, book a massage or beauty treatment. The adjacent fitness centre is furnished with a range of cardiovascular and muscle building equipment.

When it’s time to eat, Alboran serves Spanish and international cuisine with show cooking, a boulangerie and themed buffets. In the summer Daisy Corner caters for the little guests. The poolside Thalassa Bar and Restaurant offers an a la carte menu for breakfast and lunch. Gazpacho, salmorejo, anchovies, squid and fresh grilled fish are just some of the local specialities on offer.

During high season you may choose to finish the day drinking a delicious cocktail on the terrace at Mediterráneo, as you admire the sunset. Year-round the Lobby Bar is open in the afternoon and evenings, with live music and nightly shows. For the children, there’s a minidisco where Daisy (the mascot) leads the dancing.

All room types come with a balcony, air conditioning, WiFi and satellite TV. You’ll be able to choose whether to have a bath or shower, as you’ll have both. Complimentary bottled water is provided, while for a surcharge, soft and alcoholic drinks are available from the minibar. The Family option is equipped with a sofa that converts into a bed for two little travellers. If you upgrade to Privilege you’ll be able to enjoy a caffeine fix at any time, thanks to the Nespresso® machine. While the docking station will allow you to chill or party to your favourite tunes.

You won’t forget you’re in Spain thanks to Estepona’s bullring, tapas bars, churches and the theatre named after King Felipe VI. But if the kids fancy a bit more action there’s a waterpark and a go-karting track nearby. You are just 40 minutes’ drive from the popular sun-drenched town of Marbella. Or a similar length journey in the opposite direction brings you to the border with Gibraltar, where Barbary apes roam on the 426m high rock.
