Join your group of solo travellers on a break to the Spanish region of Costa Del Sol. We stay in the resort of Benalmadena, home to some of the best beaches in Spain, as well as a range of cafes, bars and restaurants. Our four-star adults-only hotel, just minutes from the seafront promenade and beach, is the perfect place to enjoy some Spanish sunshine with your fellow Solos guests.
Extras
Adult-only facilities in a quiet corner of the lively resort of Benalmadena make this hotel the perfect retreat for our Solos guests to soak up some Spanish winter sun. Stylish interiors, three outdoor swimming pools, an al fresco breakfast buffet and evening meals under the stars. Sounds idyllic right? Our hotel has its own beach club on Benalmadena Beach where you can relax on a sun lounger overlooking the Med, and sip on cocktails whilst enjoying the sunset. There are wellness facilities on-site that will take your relaxation into ‘full-zen ‘ mode should you so desire.
The resort of Benalmadena is upmarket and packed with beaches, a quaint old town and a vibrant marina.
Enduringly popular with British holidaymakers, the Costa del Sol’s sheltered coast is shaped by a succession of stunning white-sand beaches, hidden coves, and fishing villages, and offers plenty to see and do whichever direction you choose. If you’re looking to take time out to relax with a book you won’t be short of a quiet spot, or for those wanting a bit more hustle and bustle our hotel sits in a prime central location so it’s easy to get out and about to explore. If exploring further afield is on the cards, options include heading up to the white-washed village of Mijas Pueblo for some fantastic views over to Gibraltar and even the African coastline.
Time away from the hotel is a great way to get to know the destination more intimately. We recommend a visit to historical Ronda where you’ll find amazing views from the Tajo Gorge. Another fantastic option is to take in the highlights of the enigmatic Andalucian city of Granada. Grand medieval architecture and the famous Moorish quarter of the Albaicin are must-sees, and no trip to this beautiful city would be complete without seeing the beautiful Alhambra – the majestic hilltop fortress complex with its royal palaces, reflecting pools, fountains and Moorish art. The city is also a foodie destination; need we say more…!
Our hotel is located just 50 meters from the beach and in front of the Benalmadena promenade. The local area offers a wide range of entertainment, shops, bars and restaurants just a few steps away. This is a perfect location for enjoying some Mediterranean winter sunshine.
The range of facilities here include a buffet restaurant serving national and international cuisine, pool bar, sports bar, American bar, three swimming pools, fitness centre, wellness centre and complimentary Wi-Fi. Pool towels are available with no deposit.
Our guestrooms come with air-conditioning/heating, flat-screen TV, telephone, Wi-Fi and balcony or private terrace.
Frequently Asked Questions

You may wish to take an optional excursion during the course of your stay. Full details will be given at the Information Meeting. All tours can be paid for in Euros. Your Tour Leader will help arrange these for you but may not necessarily accompany you.

We suggest a group collection at the end of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters and hotel staff (including restaurant, kitchen and reception staff) of approximately €15 (or the equivalent amount in local currency). Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of bar staff and housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (the rounding up of the drinks bill and a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated).
As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, restaurants expect a % gratuity (do check that service has not already been added to your bill). For taxis 10% of the metered fare.
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening, with the emphasis throughout being informal but with no shorts or vests in the restaurants in the evenings. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket and even some rainwear.
