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.

Optional excursions
Alpujarras
Situated against the southern slopes of Spain’s Sierra Nevada, the isolated La Alpujarra region gives you an authentic taste of Andalucian scenery. This is where you’ll witness whitewashed villages clinging to clifftops as you follow winding mountain roads and discover the delights of traditional bakeries selling homemade cakes and pastries. Moorish, in every sense. Alongside the magnificent valley views across the almond groves and sun-scorched vineyards, this area is also renowned for its Arabic history. After today’s excursion you’ll know all about the conflict between the Moors and the Christians, as well as being able to buy a few slices of delicious torta de almendras to tuck into once you’re back at the hotel.
