Luxury finishes and tranquil scenes go hand in hand at the secluded, sophisticated La Zambra Resort. Named after a flamenco dance, the hotel harks back to 1986 and sits amid golf courses and the greenery-cloaked Mijas Hills. Its three outdoor pools are yours to dreamily drift around, and you can embrace the R&R of the cocktail bar, Andalucian-essence rooms and spa. A range of experiences and therapies can be enjoyed in the Turkish bath too. Meanwhile, active types can take Pilates and yoga classes, play tennis and opt for sessions in the state-of-the-art gym. Treat yourself to dinner in the Picador à la carte to really round off the festival of five-star fabulousness.
