Occidental Fuengirola: a seafront hotel for enjoying the Costa del Sol

Just a few metres from the Mediterranean and beside the seafront promenade, Occidental Fuengirola is a convenient option for travellers who want to stay close to the beach while remaining within easy reach of the town centre and its leisure facilities.

The fully renovated four-star hotel has 316 rooms, many of them with sea views, and is suitable for both couples and families.

Its location is one of its main advantages: Fuengirola beach is around 50 metres away, while the Marenostrum concert venue is approximately 1.2 kilometres from the hotel. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is about 19.9 kilometres away.

Rooms for couples and families

Occidental Fuengirola offers several accommodation categories, ranging from single and superior rooms to options with side or direct views of the Mediterranean.

Families can choose from Family Junior Suites and connecting rooms, which provide additional space while allowing guests to stay close together.

Many rooms also include a balcony and amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a minibar, depending on the category selected.

Five places to eat and drink

Food and drink are another important part of the hotel’s offering.

Occidental Fuengirola has five dining and bar venues designed for different moments of the day: the Buffet Restaurant, Arrozante, Lobby Bar, Breeze and Pool Bar.

This gives guests the option of enjoying a full meal, a casual bite by the pool or simply stopping for a drink without leaving the hotel.

The property also has two outdoor swimming pools, although opening periods and conditions may vary depending on the season.

A convenient base for exploring Fuengirola

Staying beside the promenade makes it easy to enjoy the beach, but the hotel is also well placed for visiting some of Fuengirola’s main attractions.

Nearby leisure options include Bioparc Fuengirola, Aquamijas and Marenostrum Fuengirola, as well as golf courses and other destinations across the Costa del Sol.

This makes the hotel a practical base for travellers who want to alternate beach days with restaurants, shopping, concerts or trips to other parts of Málaga province.

Beach, pool and entertainment in one stay

One of Occidental Fuengirola’s main strengths is the variety of ways guests can organise their holiday.

Families can make use of the larger room categories and nearby attractions, while couples may prefer accommodation overlooking the Mediterranean and easy access to the promenade. Golf enthusiasts can also find several courses within a relatively short distance.

The result is a stay where the beach can be the main attraction without being the only option: guests can spend the afternoon by the pool, attend an evening concert at Marenostrum or walk into central Fuengirola for dinner and entertainment.

With 316 rooms, five dining options, two outdoor pools and the Mediterranean almost on its doorstep, Occidental Fuengirola brings together many of the features travellers look for in a Costa del Sol holiday.
