Hotel Las Orquideas (Orquideas beingthe Spanish word for orchid) is situated in the unspoilt village of Los Romanes, in the rolling hills overlooking Lake Vinuela, providing stunning views over the lake and the surrounding mountains.
Las Orquideas was built in 2013. Designed by recognised architects from UK and Spain, its highly original style lends a timeless quality that enables it to integrate comfortably into the surrounding environment while its eclectic interior gives a contemporary twist to traditional features. WiFi is freely available.
The seven guest rooms have stunning views of the surrounding countryside and a balcony. Five of the rooms are of executive quality and are of over 50 sq.mtrs. All the rooms have been individually designed by the owner, who has a portfolio of previous acknowledged work. Each delightfully comfortable bed is hand crafted to a bespoke design while the whitewashed walls and louvered shutters provide a cool, serene place to relax. The Moroccan influenced bathrooms have a powerful rain shower and every room has an indulgent, roll top bath situated either in the bathroom or in the bedroom.
The boutique hotel`s intimate bar and restaurant features a fully retracting glass wall to provide an airy environment with enticing views over the lake and mountains.
The outdoor swimming pool sits within a cosy courtyard and is of the infinity variety. The orientation of the pool allows for some quite breathtaking views of the valley, Mount Maroma, the towns of Periana, Alcaucin and Canillas de Aceituno and of course, the Vinuela reservoir.
The hotel has its own Turkish steam room aswell as a dedicated massage and relaxation treatment room, both of which are situated conveniently closely to the pool area.
A large function room with bar completes the lower level of the hotel.
Los Romanes is a 45 minute drive from Malaga Airport and just 20 minutes drive from the vibrant coastal town of Torre del Mar. Road access to the village is good and the hotel has its own, private car park.
The village lies at an altitude of 490 metres above sea level.
