The Malaga hotel that is nominated as the best in a 'natural environment in Spain'

Like every year, National Geographic magazine celebrates its popular National Geographic Traveler Readers' Awards 2025, where they choose with the help of the public the best destinations, hotels, projects, and airlines in the world. In this edition, despite a good number of representatives from the province of Málaga in previous editions, only one representative from Málaga is featured, this one in the category of 'Best Hotel in a Natural Setting in Spain', where the renowned La Zambra Hotel is nominated.

Users have until 23:59 on February 21 to choose the winners of the awards, which this year celebrate their third edition. Specifically, La Zambra competes with four other prestigious hotel complexes such as Hotel Fariones, SO/Sotogrande Hotel Spa & Golf Resort, CieloAstur, and Zel Costa Brava.

About the hotel in Málaga, previously awarded, it is highlighted as an "elegant resort nestled in the town of Mijas, between Málaga and Marbella" and that the La Zambra hotel is "known for hosting one of the best spas on the Costa del Sol, as well as four restaurants where you can enjoy the finest Mediterranean cuisine".

Regarding the other nominees, such as Hotel Fariones, it is commented that it is "a tourism icon in Lanzarote, it was the first hotel to open on the island in 1966" and it has "direct access to three beaches and modern rooms with sea views". About the SO/Sotogrande Hotel Spa & Golf Resort, it is mentioned as a "contemporary cortijo where you can enjoy life 'à la Española'" and that "its rooms and lounges highlight Andalusian artisanal details".

Regarding CieloAstur, it is explained that it is a "complex of eco villas in the heart of Asturias, where you can feel and enjoy authentic rural life without giving up comfort". Lastly, the option of Zel Costa Brava, which is "surrounded by forests and with views of the turquoise blue sea, this Costa Brava accommodation invites you to disconnect in its Mediterranean spirit suites and enjoy an unbeatable location".
