The Iberostar Malaga Playa, part of the Iberostar chain, has 319 guest rooms and 94 one- or two-bedroom apartments. The Moorish-themed hotel sits right on the grey-sand beach, separated only by the lovely Torrox-Costa Promenade. The resort has plenty of all-inclusive options (guests can choose rates that include free breakfast, half board, or full board), and offers activities and sports geared toward families with small children, as well as choices for the senior contingent. The clientele is largely Europeans drawn to the near-perfect, sunny climate.

The 87-unit Hotel Fuerte Calaceite is not a hotel, but a rambling, gated apartment complex with a reception desk at the entrance. The Fuerte Calaceite is located on the coast road between the towns of Torrox Costa and Nerja, and a car is necessary to reach any major attractions and restaurants. The whitewashed complex is modern and well-kept, with beautiful views from apartment balconies, which suits families with kids who are looking for a peaceful home base from which to explore the Costa del Sol. There are, however, no standard hotel amenities and services.

Tucked away in a quiet area of Torrox, Hotel La Casa is a charming value property with just eight rooms. Each room is individually decorated, bright, and homey, plus they all have air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. They lack mini-fridges and kettles, however. Guests are within walking distance of Plaza Constitución, bars, and restaurants. The beach, on the other hand, is a 15-minute drive. Food at the all-day restaurant receives excellent reviews, and an honesty bar is available 24/7. A massage room and solarium with seating and gorgeous views of the surrounding area round out amenities, as there are no pool, gym, or full spa here. Hotel Fuerte Calaceite offers a large outdoor pool, and may be better for visitors who want to be within walking distance of the beach.
