About this listing

Following an extensive renovation in 2021, the property blends contemporary Spanish hospitality with comprehensive amenities tailored for the observant Jewish traveler.

About the area

Located in the heart of South Spain’s Andalusia region, the Occidental Torremolinos Playa occupies a prime piece of coastline in the Los Álamos district. This area is characterized by its wide, sandy beaches and a lively promenade that connects the coastal towns of the Costa del Sol. The hotel is situated approximately 7 kilometers from Malaga International Airport, making it a convenient arrival point for international travelers.

Torremolinos has long been a focal point for hospitality in the region. For the observant traveler, the property serves as a strategic base. While the hotel provides on-site services, the wider Malaga area is home to established Jewish communities, including synagogues and Mikvaot in nearby Marbella and Malaga city. The region’s history is deeply intertwined with Jewish heritage, and staying in Torremolinos allows for easy access to the historic Sephardic sites across Andalusia.

Golf and Leisure: The Costa del Sol is renowned for its world-class golf courses, several of which are located within a 15-minute drive of the resort.

Day Trips: The proximity to major transport links makes it possible to visit historic Andalusian cities such as Granada, Cordoba, and Seville, which hold significant historical importance in Sephardic Jewish history.
