Overview

You’ll find the 4-star Essence Hotel Boutique nestled in a quiet corner of Torremolinos, offering a sophisticated retreat that focuses on your well-being.

It is perfectly placed within walking distance of the lively Bajondillo promenade, giving you the best of both peaceful relaxation and local Spanish culture.

Meal times are indicative and may be subject to change depending on the season.

Pools and Spa

The outdoor swimming pool serves as the heart of the hotel, surrounded by a stylish sun terrace with comfortable loungers. It is the perfect spot to soak up the Spanish sun with a good book. If you are looking for deeper relaxation, the on-site wellness centre features a sauna, a Turkish bath, and a range of specialised massage treatments. Please note that the use of the spa centre, including the sauna and any beauty treatments, is subject to an extra charge. The pool remains open seasonally, providing a refreshing escape during the warmer months.

Beach

The golden sands of Playamar beach are located approx. 300 metres from the hotel, making it an easy stroll whenever you fancy a dip in the sea. This wide, sandy beach is lined with traditional "chiringuitos" (beach bars) where you can try local grilled sardines. As the beach is a public area, the use of sun loungers and umbrellas is at an extra charge. The flat promenade is also ideal for a scenic morning jog or a romantic sunset walk.

Sport and Entertainment

The atmosphere at Essence Hotel Boutique is focused on tranquil relaxation rather than loud animation. You can enjoy low-key evening entertainment, such as live music or professional shows on the terrace a few nights a week. For those who like to stay active, there are plenty of water sports available at the nearby beach, and the hotel is within easy reach of several world-class golf courses. After dark, the vibrant nightlife and shopping streets of central Torremolinos are just a short walk away.
