Expert review of Parador de Malaga Golf
A Florida-style, low-rise hotel surrounded by a golf course which backs onto a beach.
You’ll either love or hate this sprawling, state-run hotel. Personally I adore the light, airy, spacious feel of the place, created by the gallery-like white walls and huge windows and its laid-back vibe.
Location:
On the outskirts of Malaga city, it’s extensive plot is sandwiched between a main road and an immaculately-kept golf course. It’s only about a five minute drive from Malaga airport, a two minute drive to Plaza Mayor, one of Malaga’s premier shopping centre, and you can walk along the promenade to Torremolinos in about 20 minutes. Or do as I do, and stroll lazily into town through the surf.
Bedrooms:
All the rooms are considerably bigger than average Costa del Sol hotel rooms and are finished with funky, design-led pieces. The black and silver, linear headboards and bedside cabinets wouldn’t look out of place in an Art Deco hotel in Miami. I enjoy waking up and having a pre-breakfast coffee on the ample balcony overlooking the golf course and the Mediterranean Sea. The bathrooms have double sinks, a large bath, and a separate shower.

Public areas:
They must have got a Feng Shui expert in, I reckon. The public rooms, from the restaurant and bar, to the sun terraces and conference suites, just flow in an open-plan stream of sleek, uniformed luxury. With wide, white marble lobbies and hallways flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows it’s kinda the opposite to ‘pokey’.
Eating and drinking:
The continental breakfast buffet is of American proportions – which I love! The hotel specialises in authentic Andalusian dishes at lunch and dinner, and being this close to the sea, you won’t be surprised to discover there’s a big emphasis on fish and seafood. The bar can lack atmosphere after dinner, however, as the majority of the guests get up early to play golf.
Leisure facilities:
Most visitors come for the leisure activities including a large outdoor pool, 18 hole golf course and several tennis courts. If that’s not enough, there are water-sports, including kayaking, offered on the beach.
Service:
Paradors, hotels owned by the State, have an excellent reputation for great service. The staff here feel that weight of that heritage and take the responsibility of good service very seriously.
