Sol Timor Apartments

Beautifully set in its own gardens on Torremolinos’ seafront promenade, Sol Timor Apartments offer a comfortable and good-value family self catering option with lots of resort-style extras in one of the Costa del Sol’s most popular resorts.

There are 338 apartments in the Sol Timor Apartments, with studio, one- and two-bedroom flats to choose from. They’re well-equipped, with a full kitchen setup, satellite TV, and cooling tiles on the floors for when the southern Spanish sun really ups the heat. If you want to get out and about and meet your fellow travellers, there are good quality communal facilities. When the thought of cooking your own dinner is too much, you can check out one of four dining options. Tuck in at the buffet restaurant, enjoy sea views in the beach restaurant, keep your sun lounger safe while dining by the pool, or grab a snack in the bar.

Swimming is just one of the items on a very healthy activities list that puts a high priority on keeping the kids happy. Watery fun extends out to sea with canoeing and wind surfing; on-shore you can play snooker, billiards, table tennis or tennis. Children can sign up for the Mini Club with a full team of professional staff hosting shows each evening. You can enjoy yourself, safe in the knowledge that the practicalities of your stay are all covered. The reception desk is open and on call 24-hours-a-day. There’s a bureau de change and safety deposit boxes, while WiFi internet access is free in public areas.

You can also arrange tours to the Costa’s many attractions in the complex. Torremolinos is one of the most popular resorts on the southern Costa del Sol. Despite years of development there are still remnants of its original fishing-village character. The central town is a big and busy resort with lively nightlife in season, but has a gentler, more Spanish feeling in the still-warm winter months. A fantastic beach is definitely the centrepiece, while other attractions include the neighbouring fishing village of La Carihuela, the historic city of Malaga, or the big water park, Aqualand.
