B bou Hotel Cortijo Bravo  

On Spain’s Costa del Sol in Vélez-Málaga, set among avocado groves and a short drive from Torrecilla and Carabeo beaches. Minutes from the town center and within easy reach of Málaga and Nerja, this boutique hotel sits by the sea with quick access to golf clubs and coastal sights.

Housed in a building inspired by 19th‑century Andalusian stately homes, the hotel mixes classic charm with 21st‑century comforts. There are 21 individually styled rooms with flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms (tubs or showers and bidets), plus garden views and spaces that feel personal and refined.

Soak in a seasonal outdoor pool, rent a bicycle to explore the coast, or relax in the bar and café after a day out. The hotel runs a daily complimentary reception, offers concierge and wedding services, provides free self‑parking, and can arrange a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge — all while you wake up to sea‑breeze mornings.

A business center and dedicated conference and meeting rooms make this boutique spot business‑friendly, with complimentary wireless internet throughout the property.

The on‑site restaurant serves regional Málaga and Spanish dishes alongside international specialties, with alfresco garden dining and buffet breakfasts available daily (for a fee). There’s also a bar, a café and limited‑hour room service to keep things easy and local.
