For our recent anniversary vacation, my wife and I looked for a resort that would provide refined luxury as well as peace and quiet in a seaside atmosphere. We found the perfect escape at Kempinski Hotel Bahia Estepona. An oasis of waterfalls, gardens and palm trees, this expansive resort offers panoramic views to the coast of Malaga, Gibraltar and the African coastline. Every one of the 133 rooms and 15 suites offers a balcony or private terrace, making guests feel like royalty in a palace. The dining was superb at all four restaurants; our favorite was El Alminar for its traditional Spanish gastronomic cuisine.

Kempinski Hotel Bahía Estepona, Spain's premier tropical gardens, beach, spa & golf resort. This exquisite luxury beachfront hotel, set within 45,000 sqm of lush tropical gardens and three lagoon-like swimming pools (one heated), offers unique panoramic views over the Mediterranean and African Coastline. With its state of the art facilities, this hotel has all the capabilities to offer the highest level of service to both leisure and business travellers.

The Kempinski Hotel Bahía Estepona is the perfect place for anyone seeking a combination of peace and refined luxury. All 133 luxurious rooms and 15 suites are spacious and sunlit, offer the highest standard of comfort and quality, and have balconies or terraces with breathtaking sea views.

Enjoy unique culinary experiences in our various restaurants. Four restaurants (seasonal), each with a unique ambience, an exceptional cuisine and a breathtaking view; two bars (seasonal), each presenting a different specialty, join into the Kempinski offer; a culinary journey involving all your senses.

La Cabaña del Mar, beach restaurant, specialises in typical Mediterranean cuisine; La Brisa serves Italian specialties in a relaxed and romantic environment; Alminar offers a trendy and elegant setting in which to enjoy Chef Jordi Bataller's Spanish Gastronomic signature dishes. Also, celebrate private dinner parties of up to 10 persons, with personalized service, by the Almenara Tower (an added service of the Alminar Restaurant).

Cava lovers will feel at home at La Veranda Bar & Lounge, where the largest variety of the renowned Cava (Spanish Sparkling Wine), and unique Cava cocktails, is offered in Southern Spain, as well as excellent cuisine, all in an informal atmosphere.
