The Hotel Helios Costa Tropical is located in the pretty Andalusian town of Almuñécar, beside the glorious Costa Tropical coastline. There is a beach 50 metres from the hotel and the historic centre of Almuñécar, where you will find shops and bars offering tapas, is a walk of just under a kilometre along a level promenade. The promenade in Almuñécar is also lined with traditional cafés and bars.

Málaga airport is approximately one-and-a-quarter hours' drive away.

Almuñécar, Costa Tropical

The Costa Tropical has a strong Andalusian identity, still very much evident in its charming villages. Its Moorish heritage can be seen in the beautiful city of Granada, in the exquisite Alhambra Palace, and in the atmospheric Moorish ruins that dot the landscape. Granada bustles with life and hosts plenty of fiestas, while on the Costa Tropical's beaches, all clear blue sea and sandy beaches, you can relax and enjoy the warm climate.

Almuñécar is a charming town with narrow cobbled streets crowned by the remains of the Moorish castle of San Miguel. It is scenically positioned between the sea and the Sierra Nevada mountains and enjoys a subtropical climate with mild temperatures throughout the year.
