La Zambra

Visited the restaurant as non-residents and had a wonderful meal in a fabulous setting. Can highly recommend the vegetarian paella and the Mille-feuille dessert. Special thanks to Diego for looking after us!

We have just returned from our stay at Hotel La Zambra in Mijas (from the 20th to the 26th of this month), and I can confidently say that this beautiful hotel continues to exceed our expectations. This was our third visit, and it certainly will not be our last. The facilities are simply spectacular. The hotel is a true Andalusian oasis—impeccably designed, luxurious, and perfectly maintained. It offers the ideal environment to completely disconnect and relax. The gastronomy is another massive highlight. Every meal we enjoyed was a delight. The quality of the food, the beautiful presentation, and the variety of options across their restaurants are truly top-notch. However, what truly sets La Zambra apart—and the main reason we keep coming back—is the incredible staff. I want to specially highlight the attitude, warmth, and absolute professionalism of the entire team. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Their genuine friendliness and constant smiles elevate the entire experience from great to unforgettable. Thank you to everyone at La Zambra for making our third visit so incredibly special. We are already looking forward to our fourth. We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful stay to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Room amazing worth the upgrade, really big and free access to the Spa. No drama with sun beds , no dashing down for breakfast just relaxing and calm. It’s far from mid range and the tab was eye watering but I’m sure this is why you get the space and environment to make your break so special. Read between the lines with this it’s not all inclusive 😊

We spent four nights at La Zambra in Marbella, Spain at the end of October. On arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite which was wonderful for the two of us. The staff here is helpful in every way. The breakfast buffet was fabulous and could also be supplemented by ordering off a limited menu. Breakfast is free for everyone. The spa is very special. I went to a very nice yoga class on three mornings and we used the spa facilities several days. There are three pools, including one adult one. There are plenty of lounge chairs and we were able to easily have one at different times of the day. It was quite warm while we were there and the cool pools were very refreshing. The concierge suggested a walk from the hotel for me which involved taking two left turns out of the hotel property which goes up and down some great hills and by beautiful villas. On one evening we walked to Zia Lola which is an Italian restaurant that was suberb. It was a 13 minute walk up other hills. We rented a car which was dropped off and picked up by agency arranged by concierge for day trip to Ronda. The four nights there were not enough for me and probably one night too long for my husband.

Absolutely beautiful hotel in stunning grounds with one of the nicest pools I've been in. Service is mostly fantastic - huge thanks to Jesus at Bartola at the pool for his service and food recommendations. The room was lovely, bigger than expected, nice balcony and always clean. All the staff we spoke to at Reception were really friendly and helpful.
