Yaramar Hotel Fuengirola Spain sits on the Paseo Marítimo in Los Boliches, one row back from the sand and about a minute on foot from the water. It is a 4 star, adults recommended property with sea view rooms and an outdoor pool that looks straight over the Mediterranean.
Beachfront Location
Los Boliches has never gone the way of a purpose built resort. The side streets still carry old fishermen's cottages, a couple of good bakeries and half a dozen tapas bars run by the same families for decades.
The promenade in front of the hotel is wide enough that morning runners, dog walkers and cyclists rarely get in each other's way. Step out of the front door and you are on the paseo, with chiringuitos, seafood restaurants and the walk into central Fuengirola directly in front of you. It is a genuine beach address rather than an inland complex pretending to be one.
Golf on the Costa del Sol
The geography is what makes this address work for golf. Mijas Golf is about 15 minutes by car, La Cala Resort takes 20, and El Chaparral, Santana, Cabopino, Santa Clara, Rio Real and Parador de Málaga all fall inside a half hour drive. Málaga airport sits roughly 25 minutes north on the AP 7.
Because tee times on the Costa del Sol run early through the shoulder seasons, most guests are back by mid afternoon, which leaves time for a swim and a slow walk along the seafront before dinner rather than another hour in the car heading inland. Golf groups from Britain, Ireland, Sweden and Norway have been coming here for years, usually on trips built around a rotation of Mijas, La Cala and the Marbella tracks. Most groups build their week one of three ways: a three night short break covering two rounds, a five night stay that rotates through three or four courses at a sensible pace, or a full seven night week that opens up the Mijas cluster, a couple of the Marbella tracks and a session at La Cala's practice range. Our directory of nearby golf courses sets out the full driving picture.
Facilities, Dining and Relaxation
Rooms are simple and well kept. Most have a private balcony with either a full sea view or an angled line down the coast, and standard categories give you air conditioning, a small seating area and enough floor space to park a golf travel cover next to the wardrobe without moving furniture. Superior rooms add a proper terrace and a refitted bathroom, and anything on the upper floors gets a clean sight line across the bay towards Fuengirola marina.
Downstairs stays refreshingly low key. The buffet restaurant runs show cooking stations morning and evening, there is a lobby lounge, a pool bar and a top floor sun terrace that catches the late light. The wellness area covers an indoor pool, sauna and hydro jets, usually enough to loosen a stiff back after 18 at Santana or El Chaparral, and a small gym sits alongside it.
Evenings in Fuengirola stay relaxed rather than raucous. The marina end of town runs live music through the summer, the Los Boliches square fills up with families around nine, and there are enough seafood restaurants within a short taxi to keep a full week interesting. This beachfront hotel suits several travel patterns at once: two friends can share a sea view twin, four playing partners can book adjoining rooms, and a society of sixteen to twenty four fits comfortably without having to hire out a private lounge.
