When you book your holiday at the 5-star Estepona hotel and spa resort Las Dunas Health & Spa Hotel (whether you prefer health and fitness holidays, romantic Spa breaks for couples or you just fancy treating yourself) you will expect to be treated like a VIP. However, you may not realise that there are additional benefits, as the resort is located in Estepona, one of the Costa del Sol’s most charming destinations.
Located on the western flank of the Coast, Estepona is a vibrant, bustling, traditional coastal town. Edged by superb beaches and the longest promenade in Spain, at its heart is an historic old town, with winding street, white buildings adorned with hundreds of coloured potted flowers, restaurants, bars, independent stores and plazas. Although completely unspoilt and authentic, it is also one of the most modern towns in Malaga province, as it is the first low emission zone in the province and benefitting from huge private and public investment.
Therefore, in addition to the much-deserved pampering at Las Dunas, you also gain access to Estepona’s authentic Spanish charm, beautiful beaches, restaurants, a marina, beach clubs, countryside, golf, horse riding water sports and much more.
To make sure you get the most out of your visit to Estepona and the Las Dunas Health & Spa hotel, here are five of our favourite activities that you may also enjoy.
1. Spa day Estepona
Unsurprisingly, at the top of our list we recommend you make the most out of our wonderful Spa and wellness facilities and swimming pools. Las Dunas has the only 5-star rated day spa in Estepona, offering a carefully considered range of Spa, wellness and beauty treatments, for both men and women. There is also a fully equipped, state-of-the-art gym and the opportunity to take a Yoga class, whilst soaking up the panoramic sea views.
2. Spend a day at the beach
One of the many attractions of holidaying on the Mediterranean coastline is extensive array of high-quality sandy beaches, and Estepona has its fair share. There is something to suit everyone, whether you want to get away from everyone or like a more-lively atmosphere and close proximity to the town. If you are already familiar with the area, you may have your own favourites, if not, we’re happy to share the benefit of our local knowledge.
- Playa del Cristo
On the western side of the town, just a short walk from the busy marina (where you’ll find shops, restaurants and a weekly market held every Sunday). Playa del Cristo is perfect for families, as it is sheltered and is known for its calm water. It’s also a good spot to watch the sunshine go down.
- La Rada
A great location running parallel to the town centre, making it super convenient and extremely well equipped. You’ll find everything from showers, water sports, bars and disabled facilities. There is also 3kms of paseo, so it is great for running, cycling or meandering along as you take in the sights and sunshine.
- Playa de Velerín
If you like peace and quiet and want to get away from the crowds, Playa de Velerin offers a little corner of paradise. Located just a few steps from Las Dunas, to the east of Estepona town centre on the stretch of coast known as the New Golden Mile, Estepona, surrounded by lush plants and trees..
3. Beach clubs
Like its more famous neighbour Marbella, Estepona has some superb beach clubs which entice a cosmopolitan clientele to relax and enjoy the laid-back luxury lifestyle of the Costa del Sol. In addition to iconic long-established names such as the Trocadero, there are several newer venues such as Beso Beach, Nido Estepona and Sublimbeach (with more in the pipeline), that are offering a fresh new experience.
4. Explore and enjoy the outdoors
The majesty of the Mediterranean sea and beaches almost make you forget that Estepona is surrounded by some beautiful countryside, just waiting to be enjoyed. There are many ways you can take advantage of the wonderful weather and the great outdoors, either independently or part of an organised group.
You may wish to explore on two wheels (guests can hire bicycles from Las Dunas). If walking is more to your taste, there are plenty of hiking trails in Estepona and its environs. No matter your level of experience or fitness, there will be a trail for you, from the easy coastal walks along the aforementioned Playa del Cristo, to moderate and harder routes. You can find lists, reviews and ratings on various websites such as Top Trails. Alternatively, if your preference is for travelling on four legs, you could contact Ranch Siesta Los Rubios to find out about rides around the countryside (for riders of various levels of ability).
5. Golf lessons in Estepona
Estepona is blessed with a good selection of beautifully designed golf courses, many of which also have their own academies, such as the Valle Romano Golf & Resort and the PG Golf & Sports Academy at Atalaya. If you ever wondered what is the enduring appeal of golf and have never played, now could be your chance to find out by taking lessons with a professional player. No matter whether you are complete amateur or you want to brush up your technique, there are plenty of courses and academies to choose from.

If you live in a cooler climate, winter can be a magical time, when snowflakes flutter to the ground and of woolly jumpers and snuggling up around a roaring fire. Which is great for a while but if you don’t to spend the entire winter in hibernation, there is always the option of heading towards the warmer climes of the Costa del Sol.
Las Dunas Hotel is a 5-star Estepona Spa hotel resort located on the sun drenched New Golden Mile, Estepona, offers the perfect antidote if you are suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder) or just fed up with grey skies. Instead of spending the cold weather cooped up inside, you could be enjoying some winter sunshine on the Costa del Sol.
Wintering at the Las Dunas Grand Hotel, means that you get to wake up in blues skies in one of the best Estepona spa hotel resorts, with access to a wide range of superb facilities, including the Costa del Sol’s only 5-star day Spa, a fully equipped gym with panoramic sea views, swimming pools, restaurants and much more.
By visiting in the winter, you can take advantage of some extremely reasonable off-season travel deals, that make winter travel both enjoyable and inexpensive. Here are five reasons for you to through caution to the wind, pack your bags and hop on a plane to head for the sunshine.
1. Chase the sunshine
Who wouldn’t prefer a warm on the beach, exploring Andalucía or lunch in the sunshine, to spending the days shivering inside? A sunny climate is not only an enjoyable, allowing you to enjoy your surroundings and keep active. Also, a good dose of Vitamin D is a boost for your general health and immune system and the warmth helps to stave off winter bugs like colds, flu and even frostbite.
2. Out of season travel deals – cheaper flights
During the winter, airlines often lose money, so this is the time when you find the best travel deals. The airlines need to tempt travellers to fly during off-peak times to fill their seats so that they don’t lose money. Quite simply, when there is less demand the ticket prices are much lower, leaving you with more money to spend during your holiday.
3. No crowds or queues
When a destination is popular, in peak season this means there will be lots of people. Although the Costa del Sol is blessed with all-year-round sunshine, there is a definite high and low season. After the Christmas period, there are fewer visitors, which means no crowds.
Yet you don’t have to wait until you arrive to notice the difference, the benefit of off-peak travel starts in the airport. Even for those who don’t pay to use the lounge will find that it is a much more civilised experience, with fewer people, less stress and more space.
Once you arrive at your destination the benefits continue as you’ll find it the best time to finally get to visit museums, historical buildings, landmarks and restaurants, without the queues or the need to wait for an available booking.
Winter travel also offers the opportunity to get the most out of your hotel, you may find that you have the swimming pool, Spa or sauna to yourself, treatments and classes will have places at the time you want to attend. You could also find that staff will be willing to go above and beyond, there could be the possibility of upgrading your room or perhaps or they are a little more lenient about late check-outs, allowing you to enjoy the luxury for just a few more hours.
4. Better service
The staff serving you at the airports, in restaurants, bars and shops should also be spared a thought during high season. They are often under intense pressure due to the hoards of visitors, diners and customers who all need to be directed to their plane, train or table, so understandably sometimes customers can feel rushed and herded like cattle.
However, during the low season, when there are fewer people, service is often better. Staff have more time to spend on each enquiry, and the opportunity to chat, which is often unthinkable at the height of the summer. Also, if you encounter a problem there is more time and often a greater inclination to help.
5. Support the local community
Long after the high-season holiday makers have gone home, the people who worked to make their trips such an enjoyable experience need to work. Visiting during off-peak months brings much needed revenue, to businesses, that must still operate and retain their staff during low season.

El Hotel Las Dunas es un complejo turístico con spa de 5 estrellas, está ubicado en la soleada Nueva Milla de Oro de Estepona, lo que lo convierte en el antídoto perfecto si padece el Trastorno Afectivo Estacional (TAE) o simplemente si usted está harto de vivir constantemente bajo un cielo gris. En lugar de pasar el invierno encerrado en casa, podría disfrutar del cálido sol invernal en la Costa del Sol.
Pasar el invierno en el Gran Hotel Las Dunas significa despertar cada día bajo un precioso cielo azul en uno de los mejores hoteles & Spa de Estepona. Podrá acceder a una amplia gama de magníficas instalaciones, incluyendo el único Spa de 5 estrellas de la Costa del Sol, un gimnasio totalmente equipado con vistas panorámicas al mar, piscinas, restaurantes y mucho más.
Si viaja en invierno, como no es una temporada de alta demanda turística podrá beneficiarse de algunas ofertas y promociones bastante atractivas, lo que le ayudarán a tomar la decisión de viajar en invierno a un lugar con un clima agradable y además por un precio más barato.
Por ello, le hemos querido preparar cinco razones para convencerle de hacer las maletas y subirse a un avión rumbo al sol:
1. En busca del sol
¿Quién no preferiría pasar el día calentito descansando en la playa, explorando Andalucía o comiendo bajo el sol, a pasarse los días tiritando dentro de casa? Un clima soleado no sólo es agradable, sino que permite disfrutar del entorno y mantenerse activo. Además, una buena dosis de vitamina D es un refuerzo para la salud general y el sistema inmunitario, mientras que el calor ayuda a protegerse de los bichos del invierno, como los resfriados, la gripe e incluso las congelaciones.
2. Temporada baja es sinónimo de vuelos más baratos
Durante el invierno, las aerolíneas suelen perder dinero porque no hay tanta demanda de viajes por parte de los viajeros, por lo que es la época en la que se encuentran las mejores ofertas y descuentos. Las aerolíneas necesitan tentar a los viajeros para que vuelen durante las horas de menor demanda y así llenar sus plazas y no perder dinero. Así que, si usted aprovecha para comprar sus vuelos y viajar cuando hay menos demanda, los precios de los billetes serán mucho más bajos, lo que le dejará más dinero para gastar durante sus vacaciones.
3. Sin aglomeraciones ni colas
Cuando un destino es popular, en temporada alta significa que habrá mucha gente visitándolo. Aunque la Costa del Sol es una ubicación que puede ser disfrutada durante todo el año, existe una temporada alta y otra baja. Si por ejemplo se decidiera a visitar la Costa del Sol después de Navidad, se dará cuenta de que hay menos visitantes, lo que significa que no encontrará apenas aglomeraciones.
Sin embargo, no hay que esperar a llegar para notar la diferencia: las ventajas de viajar en un horario no concurrido ni de hora punta empiezan ya en el aeropuerto. Incluso los que no pagan por utilizar la sala VIP descubrirán que es una experiencia mucho más civilizada, con menos gente, menos estrés y con más espacio.
Una vez que llegue a su destino, las ventajas continúan, ya que descubrirá que es el mejor momento para visitar museos, edificios históricos, lugares emblemáticos y restaurantes, sin colas ni necesidad de esperar a que haya una reserva o entradas disponibles.
Los viajes de invierno también ofrecen la oportunidad de sacar el máximo partido a su hotel, incluso como no hay tantos huéspedes como en otras fechas puede que tenga la suerte de disfrutar de la piscina, el spa o la sauna para usted solo, además los tratamientos que quiera de estas instalaciones serán mucho más flexibles para que pueda asistir a la hora que usted quiera. También es posible que el personal se muestre dispuesto a ir más allá y le ofrezcan la posibilidad de mejorar su habitación o de ser un poco más indulgentes con las salidas tardías, lo que le permitirá disfrutar del lujo durante unas horas más.
4. Un servicio mejor
El personal que le atiende en los aeropuertos, restaurantes, bares y tiendas está sometido a mucha más presión y a mucho más estrés durante la temporada alta. Esto es debido a la avalancha de visitantes, comensales y clientes que necesitan ser dirigidos a su avión, servicio, tren o mesa, por lo que es comprensible que a veces los clientes se sientan apresurados o apiñados.
Sin embargo, durante la temporada baja, cuando hay menos gente, el servicio suele ser mejor. El personal tiene más tiempo para atender cada consulta y la oportunidad de charlar con usted, algo impensable en pleno verano. Además, si surge algún problema, hay más tiempo y a menudo una mayor disposición a ayudar.
5. Apoyar a la comunidad local
Aunque los turistas de temporada alta se hayan ido a casa, el personal de las empresas que trabajaron para que sus viajes fueran una experiencia tan agradable tienen que seguir trabajando durante el resto del año. Así que, visitar durante los meses de temporada baja zonas más masificadas, aporta unos ingresos muy necesarios a las empresas, que deben seguir funcionando y mantener a su personal durante la temporada baja y el resto del año.
