The red, gold and cream colours which adorn this emblematic hotel blend nicely with the blue of the sea and the green of the golf course between which the Guadalmina is situated. Relaxation is assured in this delightfully peaceful location, though a short taxi ride will take you to the chic shopping and restaurants of Marbella and Puerto Banus.
Overview The Guadalmina has been completely renovated and enlarged over the past few years, and enjoys an unrivalled setting attracting golfers and non-players alike with views either to the sea, garden or golf course. High standards of personal service together with comfortable rooms, good food and varied facilities ensure a relaxing holiday or short break here.
Location The hotel enjoys a striking beachside location on the Guadalmina Estate which consists mainly of expensive Andalucian-style houses and villas, giving the area a very exclusive and peaceful atmosphere. The two 18-hole golf courses surround the property, which is about 6 kms west of Puerto Banus.
Relaxation The two seawater swimming pools (one for children) are cleverly sited overlooking the sea and beach, with inviting sun loungers shaded by colourful parasols on the surrounding terraces, and a pool bar offering a selection of refreshments for those hot lazy days. Inside, a piano bar and comfortable lounge areas are ideal for taking it easy.
Sports/Games In addition to the golf facilities, which include specially discounted green fees at the Guadalmina North and South courses plus concessions at other courses in the area and 18-hole putting green at hotel, there are lots of alternative nearby attractions. Water-sports in season, horse riding, tennis and cycling are among the activities on offer.
Dining The hotel’s main restaurant, Taray, offers a delicious breakfast buffet to start the day, and also à la carte Mediterranean and local specialities at lunch and dinner. Further à la carte dining is available at the Cocoa Restaurant, and in summer where better to enjoy eating and drinking by the sea at the newly refurbished Beach Club. A great success with locals and visitors alike is the celebrated Sunday buffet lunch with live music.
