“Playacalida distinguishes itself in Almuñecar with its Arabic-inspired design and exceptional spa, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The infinity pool, seemingly spilling into the Mediterranean, is a memorable highlight, and families will appreciate the themed pools and dedicated kids' areas. While its location puts guests close to both beaches and attractions, the breakfast gets special mention.”
