Magic Robin Hood Resort

Let the children enter the world of a fairytale at the medieval themed Magic Robin Hood, located on Spain’s Costa del Sol. The resort is an Aladdin’s cave of activities to keep families entertained for a week or fortnight, including a waterpark (min. height 1.2m), mini club, teens’ club, video game hall, rock climbing wall, mini golf and a skating rink. And if that wasn’t enough there’s a skate park, teqball tables, human foosball, laser tag, archery, tennis courts and football fields.

Parents may opt to join a centre of tranquillity at Lady Marian’s Spa. It’s equipped with an ice fountain, Jacuzzi®, contrast shower, Turkish bath, Scottish shower, sauna, whirlpool, hammocks and cascades. Children over 12 are welcome too but only if accompanied by an adult.

When it’s time to eat, you can choose to dine at either The Golden Arrow Buffet or the poolside Long Bow Terrace. Both include a children’s buffet and cater for celiacs, allergies and other diets. For a special dinner visit one of the themed eateries, such as Robin Forest Cafe (with a Sherwood Forest setting) and Friar Tuck’s Inn, where succulent meat is served fresh from the grill. Further options include Arrocería, dishing up rice dishes, plus an Italian. There’s also four medieval themed bars, with one just for adults.

The lodges are split into separate villages across the resort: Nottingham, Sherwood, Robin Hood Garden and Lion Heart. The Nottingham area is themed around the home of the sheriff, with lodges catering for between 2 and 4 guests. Larger families may opt for Sherwood, where each building has space for groups of 2-7. The Robin Hood Garden Lodges are themed around the character’s hideout with capacity for 2-5. Lion Heart is the premium choice, with access to additional perks – including a medieval themed dinner show.

Each lodge includes air conditioning, a TV, safe, microwave, heating, tea & coffee making facilities and a sofa bed. Larger lodges have bunk beds, while upgrades include private Jacuzzis®. If you opt for All Inclusive then all your meals, snacks and drinks will be included, with the exception of champagne, cava and reserves.

Benidorm, with its sandy shores, is just over 4km from Magic Robin Hood Resort, where there’s an abundance of bars, cafes and restaurants. Children will relish a visit to Terra Natura (8.5km away) where they can see elephants, tigers, lions and rhinos. While no one’s too old or young to enjoy a trip to the Valor Chocolate Museum (16km away).
