A New Wellness Concept in Estepona, Costa del Sol
Location: Costalita, C. Trajano, 16, 29688 Estepona, Málaga
Budget: €240-€480 / night
Date of Stay: April 2024
4* Flag Hotel is located on the ‘Costalita’ part of the Costa del Sol – between Marbella, Estepona and Benahvis – with easy access to all three towns of the ‘golden triangle’.
We checked in on a Sunday morning after a busy work week of tours with some fabulous clients. Immediately we were hit by the tranquility that exudes from the spacious lobby. Check in was friendly and efficient and we were shown to our corner suite, overlooking the pool with views to the med. The suite is more akin to a small studio than a hotel room, with a huge terrace and multiple seating areas. Mdern and sleek, it was equipped with everything we could wish for, from a nespresso machine to corkscrew 😉
We spent the afternoon relaxing by the gorgous heated saltwater pool, surrpunded by the beauifully landscaped tropical gardens.
The next morning we enjoyed the amazing a la carte breakfast. Personally, I prefer a la carte breakfast as I generally find the offerings to be of a much higher standard (prepared to order) and it also prevents me from overeating!
The Flag Estepona is well situated on the Costalita: Equidistant between and just a 15 minute drive to Puerto Banus, Estepona and Benhavis. The hotel has bicycles available for guests to rent – I recommend taking advantage of this and heading along the beach promenade/path to explore the coast to the east and to the west.
The hotel has a modern design with sleek design and original artworks
