One of the latest additions to the Costa del Sol, the Hotel Polynesia brings the South Seas to Spain.
The Hotel Polynesia isn’t like any other hotel on the Costa Del Sol. This place has been designed to make you feel like you’re in Polynesia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So there’s a waterfall and a rope bridge in the lobby, and a birds of paradise aviary in the grounds.

You’ll find a huge lagoon-style swimming pool, surrounded by hammocks, in the hotel’s grounds. And the fantasy continues at full throttle in the hotel’s Beach Club waterpark, a few minute’s shuttle bus ride away. There’s a galleon anchored in one of the pools here and pretend life-sized elephant in another.

The shock-and-awe factor continues in the outdoor theatre, where the stage is set inside a giant pyramid and backed by a horizon of mountains.

The accommodation at the hotel tones it down a bit, to ensure you get a good night’s sleep. It’s the dark wood and the photographs of tropical flowers on the walls that are suggestive of the sub-tropical theme here. For something really special, you can upgrade to a suite with a huge terrace and whirlpool bath.

Your guide to Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol

“Benalmadena is a tale of two towns, mixing a sleek marina with down-to-earth Brit pubs and cafes – not to mention every tourist attraction going.”

Tucked between Fuengirola and Torremolinos, Benalmadena is a lively seaside town that’s a real hit with Brits. Looks-wise it’s a bit of mish-mash - 1970s high-rises give way to a pretty whitewashed marina that takes its cue from Moorish Andalucia. Packed with millionaires’ yachts, the marina sits at the very the heart of Benalmadena’s social scene. With no shortage of bars and restaurants, you’ll definitely be coming back here most evenings to mingle with holidaymakers over a couple of cocktails, or to get ready for a night on the tiles with the clubbing kids from nearby Malaga. If you’re after karaoke and a touch of disco glitter, however, head up to Benalmadena’s aptly-named 24-hour square. Nightlife aside, the big draw here is the beach. The 700-metre stretch of sand-and-shingle runs parallel to the town’s raised promenade and coastal road. When you’ve had enough towel time, you’ll find plenty of on-the-water action in the form of jet-skis and parasailing. Away from the sea, there’s plenty more to explore. Paloma Park is all landscaped gardens, lakes and peacocks. Tivoli World funfair is packed with rides and attractions. And the Sea Life centre is a great interactive aquarium. For a dash of culture, there’s Benalmadena Pueblo – the town’s old whitewashed village. And what with Malaga, Granada and Seville all within striking distance, you’re covered on the sightseeing front, too.
