With the beach of Playa Peñón del Cura right outside the hillside-set property, Club La Costa World is perfectly located for regular doses of vitamin sea. For the seven kilometre stretch of Fuengirola beach, just take a few strides to your left. Exercise your swing at nearby Chapparel Golf Club, or the view-rich Cerrado del Águila Golf And Resort. Alternatively, take a drive to El Acebuchal, a charming ghost village in the heart of the Alhama National Park, a haunting little hamlet where time stands still and donkeys and mules wander the fantasy-novel streets.

About Wyndham Grand Residences Santa Cruz Suites are all about relaxing in perfect harmony with sea, sun and sublime poolside terrace settings.

Designed with colonial touches, exotic woods and rattan furniture, all the apartments are also air-conditioned and feature top-brand appliances and satellite TVs. Another plus is that all master bedrooms come with a Jacuzzi.
