The Barceló Occidental in Fuengirola is a thoroughly refurbished four-star hotel that punches well above its category, particularly for solo travellers seeking single-room value. The 316 bedrooms — most with sea views across the promenade — are bright and well-appointed, and the hotel is less than half an hour from Málaga Airport, making it one of the most convenient arrivals on the Costa del Sol.
Three dining areas cater for different moods, from a relaxed breakfast setting to evening meals with views. An outdoor swimming pool and a heated indoor pool mean you can unwind whatever the season. The pedestrianised promenade and a lively selection of restaurants are within easy walking distance for evenings out.
The real draw for a golf break on the Costa del Sol is the concentration of courses tucked into the hills behind Fuengirola. Mijas Golf, Santana, Santa Clara and El Chapparal are all within a short drive, giving golfers a varied menu of layouts across a single stay. Golf Planet Holidays can organise private transfers or car hire to make getting to the tee as straightforward as possible.
