Costa del Sol Holidays

The Costa del Sol is Spain at its traditional best. Of course, sun, sea and sand are a large draw to the area but there is much more to discover once you are here. Dazzling white villages dot the coastline, reflecting in the iridescent waters; the dark greens and yellows of the rolling sierras complement this perfectly and take you inland to wonderful walking country and the high snow-capped Alpujarra Mountains. The historic cities of Seville and Granada are well within reach for day trips, adding to the allure of this fantastic destination where we have picked the best luxury hotels for your Costa del Sol holiday.

Roam Granada’s cobbled streets and visit the spectacular Alhambra Palace. Venture inland to sugar cube Ronda, with its magnificent bridge spanning dizzying heights over the El Tajo gorge. Set sail for Gibraltar, a little piece of Britain in southern Spain, with its resident Barbary apes and fantastic views of the African coastline. A full excursion programme is available, please see your Sovereign Concierge for details.

Discover Seville, sparkling capital of Andalucía and home of the Giralda Cathedral. Granada, the Moorish capital of the region with the famous Alhambra Palace. Picture postcard Ronda, most famous of Andalucía’s ‘pueblos blancos’. Elegant Málaga is worth a visit. Andalucía is also the home of flamenco and bullfighting and you should experience some of these typically passionate Spanish traditions.
