Laze at a Spanish hotel designed for relaxation

La Zambra, Mijas, Spain

Having opened in September 2022, the property, a former Byblos hotel, lies at the foot of the Andalusian hills and is a marvel of warm terracotta, polished concrete and lush gardens. The hotel is within striking distance of the pretty town of Mijas Pueblo and some of the finest beaches in the region, lazambrakotel.com
