Location

Chinasol Apartments scores big with its location. Perched on the Paseo Marítimo, you’re just a stone’s throw (or a 50m flip-flop shuffle) from San Cristobal Beach, one of Almuñécar’s most popular spots. The hotel is also an easy 800m stroll from the heart of town, where you’ll find a maze of charming streets, quirky shops, and fantastic restaurants.

Almuñécar itself is part of the Costa Tropical, known for its unique microclimate that serves up sunshine and mild temps almost year-round. Beyond the beach, this historic town offers a slice of Andalusian culture, from Roman ruins to Moorish architecture, all wrapped in a laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere.
