Occidental Fuengirola

On Fuengirola’s Costa del Sol seafront, Occidental Fuengirola gives a golf break the useful rhythm of rounds in the surrounding area followed by an immediate return to the beach and town. This four-star, fully refurbished hotel sits alongside the promenade and close to the centre, so the walk after golf can lead as easily to a beachfront drink as to Fuengirola’s restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets. Golf is one of the activities that can be combined with a stay here, while the hotel’s position makes it particularly suited to golfers who want the resort atmosphere of the coast rather than an isolated course base. With around 320 sunny days a year cited for the Costa del Sol, there is plenty of scope to build beach time around the golf schedule.

The hotel has 316 rooms, most with sea views, and its layout works well when the group’s plans differ between rounds. Two outdoor pools provide a place to cool off, subject to seasonal opening arrangements, while the five dining and drinking venues cover the day from breakfast at the Buffet Restaurant to rice dishes at Arrozante, then drinks at the Lobby Bar, Breeze or Pool Bar. Free Wi Fi is available throughout. The beach is directly outside rather than a separate journey, and nearby leisure options include Bioparc, Aquamijas, Recinto Marenostrum and Costa Water Park. Málaga Airport is around 25 minutes away, while Gibraltar Airport is about 48 miles from the hotel.
