This innovative nine-room boutique hotel is a welcome addition to the Costa del Sol’s accommodation choice and offers the traveller a new option in the long list of luxury hotels in Malaga.
A world apart from the busier, more commercial hotels nearby, Albero Lodge describes itself as “a refuge by the sea” and certainly this boutique hotel’s location lives up to this – near the beach and in a quiet residential area yet within easy reach of Marbella, Puerto Banus and other attractions. Albero Lodge is essentially somewhere to go if you’re looking for peace and quiet – not always easy to find when on holiday at resorts in Spain.
Albero Lodge is a classic Andalucian villa whose gardens are home to a quiet pool area, again miles away from the usual hustle and bustle on the Costa del Sol. Inside, each of the nine rooms takes you to one of the four corners of the globe to some of the world’s top tourist destinations – New York, Florence, Fez, Madras ... and curiously, Dover. The decoration inside each world destination reflects the city so expect to find rich colours in Madras and English chintz in Dover.
With the beach just a few minutes away, Albero Lodge is ideally situated for beach lovers. If you plan to go further afield, you need to hire a car, particularly if you wish to visit resorts on the Costa del Sol nearby. The tranquillity and seclusion of this luxury boutique hotel near Marbella makes Albero Lodge ideal for a romantic break or honeymoon.
