Luxurious, relaxing and stylish, it’s time to check out the stunning Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Spain.
A few weeks ago I sent food and travel blogger Vicky on a luxurious break to check out one of Kempinski’s top hotels in Spain. Fresh from her relaxing trip, it’s time for the lowdown… over to Vicky!
After a flight at the crack of dawn from a very grey London, it was a delight to be met by a smiling member of the Kempinski Bahia team waiting for me at arrivals in Malaga airport. I hopped on board the Kempinski Mercedes people carrier and instantly felt at ease in the heat of southern Spain. There were chilled water bottles, lots of things to read and some cheery music playing. It’s just a 45-minute drive from Malaga Airport to Estepona where the hotel is located… and you know if the pickup is this good the hotel is going to be great!
The drive took us through mountainous landscapes with the sea coming into view. As we entered the driveway to the hotel, Kempinski Bahia looked extremely grand. More lovely staff greeted us as we walked through a beautiful outer entrance with giant wicker chairs, lush green plants and the two resident hotel parrots who loved a chat as we walked past!
But this is only the beginning. Walking into the newly refurbished lobby my eyes almost couldn’t take in the grandeur of the space! It’s beautiful and functional. This is the hub of the hotel and once checked in I made my way to my room, excited about what the next few days would hold.
