Las Dunas Costa Del Sol Spa

Think 5 star luxury Coldiz for health and wellbeing

Las Dunas Costa Del Sol Spa

I returned from a one week stay at Las Dumas, located between Estepona and Malaga on the Costa Del Sol a couple of months ago.

I am writing this, not a rant but not a rave either, because I was sold the wrong thing, it was a fantastic deal, but that’s no good if you don’t have a good time or the place doesn’t meet your expectation.

The holiday didn’t go to plan not necessarily because there was anything wrong with the place, there wasn’t and what they offer is amazing, it just wasn’t what I was expecting when I booked it on Expedia, a holiday booking site I have vowed to NEVER ever use again, even if it is cheaper and more convenient.

I love a spa break and over the years have enjoyed (using the term loosely) being hit with tree branches and enjoyed therapies like ear wax, hot stones, sound therapy and reiki. I am not a spa novice.

Las Dunas is 5 star in as far as the rooms, the opulence, everything you would hope for, lovely towels, bedding, free water in the rooms, but it is definitely more health than holiday. Something I had no idea about when I booked.

Everything dietary centres around the wellness aspect of the property offering health supplements in “cocktails” around the pool and the restaurant and room service offering was geared more to weight loss than enjoyment and I am a vegetarian.

It’s difficult to explain but things like the scrambled eggs were made with egg whites only.

The pool and sunbathing area are beautiful. The staff were OK, they weren’t super receptive when we told them we were starving on their rations. And towards the end of the week we got into too long exchanges with hotel management on what’s app, staff arguing with us just not listening, instead of enjoying the time away which was a shame.

We did get a great deal for sure, and it was a lovely property and location. If you were looking to kick start a diet it would have been perfect but for anyone looking to eat drink and like me relax and possibly gain a few pounds, not the place for you.
