A Leading Hotel of the World and managed by the prestigious Anantara group since 2019, the Villa Padierna Palace is the most complete and refined “large” resort on the Costa del Sol.
Owned by an aristocratic Spanish family, the resort shows off beautiful antiques and furnishings. There are plenty of marble floors and staircases and now an added contemporary touch provided by Anantara.
Dinning and Bars
For dining, La Loggia provides a hearty and delicious breakfast. There’s fine-dining at Paco Romero, a Sushi Bar & Restaurant, poolside light snacks. At the beach there’s delicious cooking at Club del Mar, and Eddy’s Bar adds a very British flavour to the venue. The clubhouse serves breakfast and lunch and, for those who have forgotten that they’re on holiday, “Yumm” puts the food focus on health and calorie counting!
Golf
The three courses – Flamingos, Alferina and the short Tramores – provide plenty of challenge without being overly difficult. Flamingos is the best with fairly tight fairways but large greens. Alferini is longer with wider fairways and generous greens. Tramores measures just under 4000 yards and is a great way to fine-tune your short-game and/or have a knock-about before supper.
The service is discreet, attentive and friendly and the whole place is slick. Villa Padierna is an excellent venue for a high-quality holiday on the Costa del Sol.
