Saga Hosted Hotels
Set on St. Christopher's pebble beach in Almuñécar, Hotel Helios Costa Tropical offers an idyllic setting for a relaxing getaway. Though it is a three-star hotel, its commitment to service makes it a favourite among Saga travellers, and it is highly rated on TripAdvisor as well. Lounge by the heated outdoor pool or unwind in the spa's rejuvenating Jacuzzi, both offering sea views. Whether you're in the mood for a mid-morning coffee or live music in the evening, the hotel's bar has you covered. You can also head to the rooftop terrace for stunning sunset views. Alternatively, step outside and take a walk along the five-kilometre flat promenade, where you can find a quaint café for people-watching. The hotel also boasts a good local bus network, making independent exploring easy.

Local Area
Almuñécar is a picturesque town with jagged coastlines, intoxicating culture and world-class food and drink. Take a stroll to the town centre, where markets await, brimming with spices, olives, dried fruits, and locally made honey and molasses. If you're looking for photo-worthy views of the Mediterranean, head to Nerja and take in the stunning scenery from the clifftop known as the 'Balcony of Europe'.
Optional excursions
Optional excursions can only be booked in resort and are subject to minimum numbers
Granada City
Nestling below the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains, Granada is one of the loveliest cities in Spain. It was the last Moorish city to fall to the Christians, in 1492. This Andalusian city is justly proud of its delightful location and for the richness of its Moorish architecture, which is equal to anything in North Africa. Attractions include the Royal Chapel, where the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella are buried. It adjoins the cathedral built in the early Renaissance style on the site of the former mosque.
