About this property
Your boutique escape by the green heart of Almuñécar. Tucked beside the lush El Majuelo Botanical Park, which stands out for its collection of over 180 species of tropical and subtropical plants, and beneath the historic San Miguel Castle, Hotel Olas de Almuñécar is a haven for couples and travelers seeking relaxation, culture and the authentic spirit of the Tropical Coast. Surrounded by tropical gardens, ancient Roman ruins, and just a short stroll from San Cristóbal Beach, an amazing place to go scuba diving, it’s the perfect setting for both romantic getaways and memorable holidays. Start your day with the calm of nature, explore the vibrant charm of Almuñécar, and end it with a special dining experience at La Despensa del Olas — our in-house wine bar & gastrobar, where you’ll discover a carefully curated selection of wines, gourmet tapas, and signature dishes made with soul. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or an inspiring coastal adventure, we welcome you to experience the authentic spirit of the Tropical Coast.
