Costa del Sol is set to become the home of several adult only hotels as owners look for new initiatives to drive additional business.
Hotels catering for adults only have become a hit with many holidaymakers that are looking for accommodation that are aimed exclusively at adults and offer less family based activities. Following this success it appears that more hotels will look to move into this market which is already proving to be a popular seller with European tourists booking through travel agencies.
The concept would not ban children completely as Antonio Aranda, manager of the Costa del Sol Hoteliers Association, was keen to clarify stating that the aim was “not to ban children from the hotels, but to organize the hotels as a place with activities to be enjoyed exclusively by adults”.
It wouldn’t actually be possible to create a completely adult only hotel as current laws in Spain do not allow hotels to ban children.
One of the successful hotels operating in this market is the Riviera Hotel in Benalmadena whose manager Miguel Bordera highlighted just what opportunities are available “Ninety-five per cent of our beds are taken by two European tour operators which since 2009 wanted the Riviera to become ‘adults only’.”
Another hotel which is planning to make the move is the H10 Andalucia Plaza in Puerto Banus who are set to soon become an adult resort.
