La Fonda Hotel in Benalmadena

Unfortunately we were unaware that works were going on outside the hotel, and had been for the last year. Paving renewals were coming towards the end when we got there but nevertheless there were large areas where blocks were missing and manholes had to be levelled. Noise was ongoing from about 8am due to blocks having to be cut to fill gaps. Obviously the hotel was not at fault as these works had to be completed, but I felt we should have been advised that these works were being done at the booking stage.
We booked a table for 6 people one night, and invited 4 friends (also on there holidays, but staying elsewhere) to join us.
2 of the starters ordered were incorrectly sent from the kitchen, and the two recipients had to wait a further 10-15 minutes for their correct order. We then received the main meals, and sadly 4 out of the 6 were not very nice at all. They were both 2 for sharing Paella's which were well overcooked with the rice being almost dry. We presumed that was as a result of the starters being incorrect, and the time taken in cooking new starters.
All in all not a very spectacular experience.
Fortunately my wife and I had stayed at the La Fonda Hotel 2 times in previous years and new that the Hotel were much better than this, and not withstanding not informing us of the works being carried out around the Hotel we will give them a further chance to get back up to standard.

A beautiful boutique hotel with a stung view and friendly policy staff.

La Fonda de Benalmádena is a rare jewel perched on the hills of Benalmádena Pueblo, one of the most picturesque white villages of Andalusia. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of calm, elegance, and beauty - a perfect fusion of traditional Andalusian architecture and Scandinavian hospitality precision.

Flower-adorned cobblestone streets lead to this beautifully restored boutique hotel, where arched outdoor corridors, patios, swimming pool and terraces with lemon trees, create an ambiance of serene Splendor touched with a soft Mediterranean breeze.

The panoramic views over the Costa del Sol and the glimmering Mediterranean Sea are breathtaking.

The rooms are curated with refined detail: quality bedding, 100% premium cotton linens and towels, and sophisticated décor that reflects both tradition and modern comfort - a place for sophisticated travellers who pay attention to details.

The on-site restaurant and spa next to a swimming pool are exceptional. Guests are treated to gourmet Mediterranean cuisine - expertly paired with a selected wine list, including world's known champagne brands and La Fonda’s exclusive Yvonne's Champagne.

Service is impeccable, by attentive, world-class staff who understand the art of service. Even the smallest moments are thoughtfully elevated - a glass of water, served from a chilled glass bottle with slices of local lemon, feels like a fine ritual of wellness and refinement.

The personal touch of the hotel’s dedicated owner is felt throughout - from the culinary excellence with world's 1st class hospitality service, to the very well designed interiors. Every gesture is thoughtful, every detail intentional.
Passion, precision, and warmth define the entire experience.

We highly recommend this place - La Fonda de Benalmádena hotel is perfect for couples, families, business travellers, and digital nomads - anyone who appreciates exceptional hospitality, aesthetic details, splendor of surroundings, and sensory indulgence.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a peaceful retreat, or simply want to experience the soul of southern Spain in its most refined form - this boutique hotel will attract you with all six senses and capture your heart.

A destination, not just accommodation.
An unforgettable five-star Andalusian experience.
The nearest train station and helicopter landing point is just 12-15 min away.

Actually if you want to drive there by Google maps or Waze it will be a difficult puzzle to solve. I have found a way luckily but not with the help of navigations

Very nice hotel with an amazing roof terrace great for relaxing at sunset with a bottle of wine. Rooms are very nice not your average benalmadena hotel room, large beds, dressing gowns thise sort of touches. Nice pool area only a few sunbeds. Location is away from coast but lovely typical streets with nice bars and restaurants

We have stayed here several times and the hotel, restaurant and spa are excellent

We had a fantastic weekend away at the hotel. The food and rooms were great.
Really friendly staff.
Be aware that the road outside has been dug up making access difficult for people with poor mobility

Hotel is very beautiful! Staff are friendly and very helpful.. the spa is awesome!!
