Hotel Pez Espada
in
Torremolinos
,
Costa Del Sol
- Guests return year after year
- Excellent location overlooking beach
- Set in beautiful gardens
Follow in the footsteps of 1950s’ film stars at the original Costa del Sol hotel. Sixty years on and it’s still just as popular as ever – even the King of Spain has stayed here.
The Pez Espada was the first luxury hotel on the Costa Del Sol, opening its doors back in the 1950s. It was a magnet for Hollywood stars and its guest book includes the likes of Sophia Loren and Sean Connery. Photos of some of the most famous guests line the hotel’s aptly-named ‘Corridor of Fame’. The most famous guest of them all, Frank Sinatra, even has a bar named after him.
In terms of location, the hotel is in a prime spot next to Torremolinos’ beach promenade. Benalmadena’s chic marina, meanwhile, is only a five-minute walk away and La Cariheula, the Spanish quarter known for its tapas bars and fish restaurants, is close by, too.
Along with simple, modern bedrooms, the hotel’s culinary credentials are probably its trump card. Not only are there buffets morning and evening, but once a week there’s a gala dinner.

Your guide to Torremolinos, Costa Del Sol
“An electrifying mix of holiday pleasures wrapped in a golden ribbon of sandy beach, Torremolinos is fun all the way.”
Torremolinos is, quite simply, one big ball of fun. The biggest tourist resort on Spain’s blinding Costa Del Sol, it’s a big hit with British tourists – and it has been for decades. Quite simply, if you’re out for a classic beach holiday, it’s very hard to beat.
Its main attribute is its seven-kilometre swathe of sand. And it’s crammed with almost every entertainment you can think of. Fresh seafood lunches and cold beers at lively ‘chiringuito’ beach bars. Volleyball, pedaloes and paragliding for when you want a walk on the wilder side. And of course, the deep blue Med to cool off in every once in a while.
When the shopping bug grabs you, the traffic-free Calle San Miguel, with its gift shops and boutiques, should do the trick. Or perhaps a mosey around the market that’s in the old district, El Calvario, every Thursday. Then there are the countless restaurants, from fast food joints to English breakfast diners. And should you hanker after traditional Spanish fare, the pretty Carihuela area offers excellent seafood and tapas haunts.
When evening falls, hold tight. Torremolinos’ myriad nightclubs and bars spell long nights of partying. But if you want something quieter, no problem. There are still plenty of places here that are made for sitting under the stars sharing sangria with newly made friends. This is the life.

We went on a late break to the Costa Del Sol, looking for a bit of sun and despite some rain we were not disappointed. It was the first time we had visited the area and we had previously been a little apprehensive because we knew that there was a lot... more on this review
