Location & setting
A little out of the bustle which is a plus in autumn. You’re on the prestigious Los Monteros estate where A-listers keep houses yet it’s a quick cab or a relaxed beachside walk to Old Town or Puerto Banús. Best of both worlds.

Look & feel
Interiors sit somewhere between Soho House ease and Wes Anderson symmetry. A subtle thread of yellow runs through details across the hotel which gives spaces a sunny styled lift without trying too hard.

Rooftop & pool
The rooftop cocktail bar is a proper golden-hour spot with a calm social feel and the main pool is big enough for real laps not just a quick dunk.

Food & drink
Excellent breakfast selection that actually sets you up for the day. There’s a 6pm happy hour for in-house guests with complimentary drinks and wine which makes pre-dinner plans effortless. Along with a selection of restaurants, including a Michelin starred dining room.

Tennis & padel
Access to the hotel’s tennis and racquet club adds a nice active thread. Bookable courts for tennis or padel if you like to mix sunshine with a hit.

Rooms
We book for light and layout not just category. If you’re late sleepers ask for the quieter side. If a bath matters we’ll secure one as not every room has it. Travelling as two couples or with older teens we can map adjoining options that still feel chic.
