Hotel Amanhavis

A unique little hotel on the Costa del Sol

---

Amanhavis is a small, unusual yet elegant hotel located in the little town of Benahavís just 5 km from the water's edge on the Costa Del Sol. Built in a typically Moorish style, the hotel appears like a delightful jumble of boxes piled together around the garden, terrace and swimming pool. It combines the charm of a building that has evolved rather than been designed, with all the luxuries the modern traveller has come to expect.

The nine rooms represent a potted history of southern Spain, delighting in such names as The Sultan Boabdil's Chamber and The Horse Thief's Hideout. Amanhavis takes the theme of its rooms a step further than most, so that the Astronomer's Observatory, for instance, comes complete with telescope and an observation window in the ceiling. The Philosopher's Study has its own secret escape tunnel. However they never forget that the room is first and foremost a guest's little home while on holiday.

The award-winning restaurant at Amanhavis is very special. The main dining room is comfortable and homely, though in summer most people prefer to sit out on the terrace for their meals. There is a good choice on the menu, and it changes daily.

The Costa Del Sol is the ultimate holiday location, offering something for everyone. Amanhavis is within easy reach of the coast where you can enjoy lively beaches and bars around Marbella, the sophisticated marina of Puerto Banus, plus diving, snorkelling, sailing, para-gliding and so on. Many people visit for the golf, and there are many prestigious courses within very easy range. A little further inland you can walk in the quiet hills that surround Benahavís, or go on horseback or bike. Or travel a little further and visit the White Villages of Andalucia and the National Parks such as Grazalema.

Restaurant:

The restaurant is an important part of Amanhavis, having an excellent reputation for its "Cuisine du Marché" and being given the accolade of "one of the ten best restaurants in Andalucía" by the Daily Telegraph. The dinner menu changes every day, and the chef chooses his menu to suit the availability of the best and freshest ingredients from the market. Each day there is a choice of 6 starters, 8 main courses and 4 desserts.
Closed on Sundays and Mondays.
