El mar, Torremolinos Overview
El mar is located in Torremolinos, Spain. Rated 9.6 out of 10 based on 17 guest reviews.
El mar is a sea-view stay in Torremolinos, Spain, set on Paseo Marítimo, 1 3 where the shoreline atmosphere is part of the experience. Guests consistently highlight the comfort of the apartment and the quality of the views, with the overall guest rating landing at 9.6/10 from 17 reviews. The interior is air-conditioned, which matters in the warmer months, and the property is non-smoking throughout for a fresher feel. For practical travel needs, you also get free wired internet and internet access, so remote work or streaming on the go is straightforward.
Inside, the layout is designed for groups who want space: you can expect two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a fully equipped kitchen for breakfasts, snacks, or simple dinners. That combination tends to suit couples who like privacy, small families who need extra room, and friends traveling together. Several reviewers mention how convenient it feels to base yourself between Torremolinos’ beach areas, with La Carihuela Beach and the promenade within easy reach, and Bajondillo Beach also close enough for day-to-day outings.
If you’re planning day trips, Benalmádena Puerto Marina is about 4 km away, and the area around Playamar is roughly 2 km from the property. For a larger outing, Selwo Marina sits around 5 km from El mar, offering a change of pace from the beach. With its strong review record and dependable basics—climate control, internet, and a kitchen—this is a sensible choice when you want a comfortable base rather than a hotel-only stay.
