Occidental Estepona Thalasso SpaEstepona, Costa del Sol

You’ll find this adult only hotel on the New Golden Mile – a stretch of coast between Estepona and Puerto Banus, known for its golf courses and beaches. You can walk to the sands in 15 minutes or use the hotel’s shuttle bus.

This hotel has relaxation down to a fine art. It matches a good-looking pool scene with a huge, top-of-the-range spa. Here, you can make use of a thalassotherapy circuit, a relaxation room and a wide-ranging treatment menu. As for food, that’s taken care of by a poolside bar and a buffet restaurant. And there’s entertainment a few nights a week from DJs and musicians.
