Myramar Fuengirola is located just 23 minutes from Malaga airport and within easy reach of soft sandy beaches and fantastic amusement parks. This makes it an excellent choice for an action-packed family holiday. Walk just 15 minutes to build sandcastles on Playa de Santa Amalia, an unspoilt paradise boasting calm, clear waters. Seeking thrills and spills? Make your way to AquaMijas (1.3km). It’s packed with a maze of attractions for all ages. Or if it’s wildlife you’re after, spot lemurs, chimpanzees and pink flamingos at the nearby Bioparc (0.9km).
There’s no shortage of things to do at the hotel either, with its mini golf course, tennis courts, aqua fitness, aerobics classes, gym, daily entertainment (15 June to 15 Sept), and occasional evening shows. Little ones will delight in fun and games at the kid’s club (4-12 yrs), with its arts and crafts, team sports, drama, music, games consoles and the children’s play area.
When it’s time to chill, set up camp by one of the two outdoor swimming pools. On one side, you’ve got shallow waters for your mini travellers, while the main pool is decked out with parasols, sunloungers and a bar serving burgers, salads, sandwiches, ice creams and drinks. Want to take that relaxation up a notch? Head to the spa, a peaceful retreat with a sauna, hot tub, and menu of relaxing massage treatments.
Feeling peckish? The hotel’s main restaurant serves up delicious Andalusian buffets for breakfast and dinner, along with around-the-world flavours on its themed nights. Tuck into hearty Italian pasta dishes, Indian curries, fresh Asian plates and spicy Mexican cuisine. Book yourself into Olea a la carte dining for a taste of traditional regional cuisine. And if you’re craving the comforts of your homemade favourites, you can do so in your apartment kitchenette.
Renovated in 2019, each one-bed apartment in the hotel has a fresh and modern home-from-home feel. Occupying up to four guests, you’ll find a well-appointed twin room and spacious lounge area with two sofa beds and satellite television. You also have a well-equipped kitchenette, giving you all the freedom of Self Catering, along with a separate bathroom and centrally-controlled air-conditioning to keep you cool.
When you’re ready to explore your surroundings, Myramar is only a 15-minute walk from Fuengirola town. One of the most popular spots in Costa del Sol, you’ll find a bustling promenade, an attractive marina and plenty of shops. While the town’s history dates back to Phoenician times, its Arabic past is most evident. The Sohail Castle, built in AD 956, sits high on an isolated hill, offering fabulous views over the coast and Sierra de Mijas mountains. Today the fortress welcomes visitors from 10am to 2pm Tuesday to Sunday, with events often held within its walls.
For more Andalusian culture, head to Malaga, just 35 minutes away by car or taxi. One of the oldest cities in Europe, its streets are brimming with art galleries, trendy boutiques, and roman ruins. Don’t miss a trip to the stone citadel in the city centre, dating back to 1 BCE, where you’ll catch public performances from local poets. And if you want to eat like the locals, be sure to order some pescaíto frito (fried fish and lemon) from the incredible dining spots along the tree-lined Malaga Park.
