Tucked between the olive groves and golf greens of Andalusia’s sun-baked hills, La Zambra Resort is a beautiful hotel that offers a number of stunning suites, fabulous swimming pools and wonderful views of the surrounding scenery.
Once the legendary Byblos Hotel (a magnet for the A-list in the ‘80s), this reimagined retreat keeps the rebel spirit alive – but with softer edges and a family-friendly twist. Now, it’s all about easy rhythms. Enjoy slow breakfasts with your loved one on the terrace before unwinding with a dip in one of the three pools. Then slip off to the sprawling spa for an indulgent treatment while the kids disappear into a world of nature-led fun at the mini club.
La Zambra’s atmosphere is relaxed but refined – with billowy fabrics and Mediterranean tones flowing through rooms that open out to sun-trap terraces. The hotel’s rooms are a harmonious blend of contemporary style and Andalusian charm, featuring warm palettes, artisanal details and sleek modern comforts. Each space opens onto a private terrace and comes equipped with king size beds (twins on request), rain-head showers or bathtubs, deluxe minibars, premium linens and thoughtful extras like beach bags, bathrobes and BelArt bath products. With garden views, Chromecast TVs and soothing interiors, they’re designed for restful retreats after sun-soaked days on the Costa del Sol.
If you’re hungry, La Zambra offers four distinctive dining spots, from the Mediterranean flavours of brasserie-style Palmito to Picador’s inventive take on Andalusian tapas. Bamboleo serves bold bar bites and cocktails from midday to midnight, while La Bartola brings breezy beach-bar energy poolside with seafood tapas, smoothies and sangria.
The on-site spa is also well worth a visit, with archways, leafy corners and 12 soothing treatment rooms. And when you're done, curl up on the spa’s terrace and soak in the calm.
If you fancy working up a sweat, challenge a loved one to a game on the tennis or paddle courts, roll out your mat in the luminous yoga studio or enjoy a workout in the round-the-clock Technogym.
If you can tear yourself away, you can explore the charming whitewashed streets of Mijas Pueblo, take a cultural day trip to Málaga’s museums and cathedral or play a round at nearby Mijas Golf. Dine at Michelin-starred Sollo or El Lago Marbella, sip wine at El Pimpi and enjoy lively nights at Olivia’s or Marbella’s Pangea Club.
