Hotel Best Benalmadena

A stay at Best Benalmádena puts your golf holiday on the Costa del Sol seafront, with Benalmádena as an easy going base for days spent on the course and evenings by the Mediterranean. This four-star hotel is set directly along the shore, so there is a clear change of pace once the clubs are back in the car. The outdoor pool has areas for adults and children, an outdoor Jacuzzi and a broad terrace with loungers and parasols. A separate premium terrace has sunbeds and Balinese beds for a quieter afternoon between rounds. There is also a pool bar for a cold drink after golf, while the main bar gives you another place to settle in before dinner.

Standard Double Rooms sleep up to four guests and can be arranged with two queen-size beds, making them useful for a group travelling together. Each has a balcony, air conditioning, a minibar, satellite television and a full bathroom, with free Wi-Fi available throughout the hotel. The renovated buffet restaurant looks out towards the sea and includes live cooking and a wok station. Dinner is served from 7.30pm until 10pm, with formal dress required in the evening. For recovery after a demanding round, the spa includes a sauna, thermal bath, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, Scottish shower and relaxation room, and adult guests can use the gym without charge. With a 24-hour reception, the hotel suits late arrivals as well as early tee time departures.
