The most romantic hotels in Malaga for a seductive stay in this vibrant seaside city

Sky-spiralling bars gazing out on rust-red rooftops, a vibrant contemporary arts scene, miles of buzzy urban beaches, some of Andalucía's finest tapas bars and seafood chiringuitos - Málaga is a fantastic city for a romantic seaside escape. Just as enticing is its growing clutch of sophisticated, couples-oriented hotels, which wander from cosy-chic boutique beauties and glossily converted townhouses with plunge pools on tucked-away roof terraces, to boldly styled New York-inspired hangouts and the sumptuous view-splayed Parador crowning the city. Here's our pick of the most romantic hotels in Malaga.

Madrid-based design duo Sylvia and Victoria Melián Randolph are behind the fun, fresh, bold interiors, inspired by Málaga's lush gardens and the Mediterranean. Nautical stripes and tropical florals take centre stage within the chicly restored late-19th-century building, and there's a lively vibe as soon as you arrive into the palm-patterned lobby, where low lighting, leather lounge chairs and soft background music lend a touch of London or New York. Rooms spread upwards around a central patio washed by a gurgling fountain and are sunnily styled in royal blues, deep greens or bright turquoises evoking all that's wonderful about Andalucía.
