Flatotel

First Flatotel International is a well-equipped 3-star hotel located just outside the centre of Benalmadena, on Spain’s Costa del Sol. This establishment is 50 metres from the beach and a number of shops, restaurants and tourist attractions, and offers a selection of standard rooms and suites, as well as apartments with self-catering facilities.

Despite its close proximity to a charming pebble beach, First Flatotel Beach also boasts its own swimming pool and solarium, along with two children’s pools. Other communal areas which are free for guests to use include a gymnasium, a games room and – for little travellers – an outdoor playground. If you’re seeking self-catering facilities, you can book yourself into one of the hotel’s spacious apartments, each of which has a kitchen, a living room with a sofa-bed, and a balcony. Every room at the hotel is equipped with a TV, air conditioning and free WiFi, with a cleaning service operating three times a week. During the daylight hours you can make use of the pool areas, lounging on a sunbed, practising your front crawl, or sipping a cool drink at the poolside bar. In the evenings, you can dine at the buffet restaurant or prepare some home-cooked food in your private apartment.

Attractions close to First Flatotel include a golf course, casino and flamenco theatre. Hire a car during your stay, and you’ll be able to venture a little further into the centre of Benalmadena, where you can visit the Sea Life aquarium, Paloma Park, and Tivoli World amusement park.
