If you’re looking for a luxury hotel near Marbella located just metres from one of the quietest beaches on the Costa del Sol, El Océano Hotel more than fits the bill. It is an oasis of laid-back luxury, privately owned and operated, where guest comfort and satisfaction is paramount. A truly beachfront location is difficult and even more difficult is a quiet one – most beaches at resorts on the Costa del Sol are among the busiest in Spain – but this luxury hotel in Mijas Costa has found just the right spot.
Located on the beachfront to the east of La Cala beach resort and at the end of the long sandy bay, El Océano Hotel is so near the sea that it almost ‘sits’ on the waves. Take a dip in this boutique hotel’s infinity pool and you feel you could almost swim directly into the Mediterranean. The Polynesian-style bar in the centre of the pool adds an exotic touch, emphasised by the oriental touches around the hotel and grounds.
One of the least-known boutique hotels on the Costa del Sol (those in the know have kept the secret to themselves), El Océano Hotel has 40 rooms including doubles and suite accommodation. Top of the range at this 4 star luxury hotel in Mijas are the Jacuzzi Suites which come complete with indoor or outdoor jacuzzi – soak up the bubbles and imagine you’re floating on the ocean. All suites come with sea views and terrace.
Recently opened and a welcome alternative to hotel accommodation for those on holiday in Spain are the Océano self-catering studios. The 15 studios come fully equipped and include a kitchenette. Also onsite is the Océano Spa with indoor heated pool, jacuzzis and steam room. Beauty treatments are available for extra pampering.
Popular for romantic breaks and honeymoons, El Océano Hotel particularly appeals to couples. The tranquil location, endless sea views and almost-empty beach make this the ideal spot for that anniversary or special occasion on the Costa del Sol.
