About the accommodation

Are you someone who prefers to have breakfast in your pajamas on your own terrace or someone who wants to have the option to prepare something quick after a day at the beach? We know that not everyone is looking for a standard hotel room. That's why the BLUESEA Costa Serena is one of our flagship products on the Costa del Sol.

Here we don't sell you a room; we sell you an apartment with all the services of a hotel. Located in an enviable area of Torremolinos, this complex is the ideal refuge for families, groups of friends or couples looking for that perfect mix between autonomy and holiday relaxation.

The Location: Everything close at hand, not far away
As experts on the Costa del Sol, we value the BLUESEA Costa Serena for its strategic balance:

Close to the beach: A short walk separates you from the famous sands of Torremolinos. Ideal for getting there and back without making the walk tiresome.
Downtown Torremolinos: You are close enough to Calle San Miguel and the shopping area to enjoy the atmosphere, but far enough away so that your rest is not interrupted by the night bustle.
Málaga connection: Like our other hotels in the area, you're just a short train ride away. A day of museums in Malaga or an afternoon of shopping in the Plaza Mayor? From here it's a breeze.

The Apartments: Your home under the Andalusian sun
What we like to highlight the most is the feeling of spaciousness of the BLUESEA Costa Serena.

Real space: Bright apartments with separate living room. Here you won't have to jump over suitcases to get to the bathroom.
Fully equipped kitchen: The great differential value. Would you like to buy local produce at the market and cook it to your liking? You can. Do you want to keep cold drinks always at hand? You have your own fridge.
Private terraces: Most of the apartments have balconies or terraces where the Malaga sun will be your best companion.

Facilities: The meeting point under the palm trees.
Even if you have your own apartment, at BLUESEA Costa Serena you live the resort experience:

The Pool: It is spacious, sunny and surrounded by a hammock area where time seems to stand still. It is our guests' favourite place for the central hours of the day.
Green Areas: The resort is cared for so that you feel that fresh Mediterranean air in every corner.
Community atmosphere: At BLUESEA Costa Serena it is easy to make friends. The atmosphere is close, international and very relaxed.

Gastronomy and Services: You choose the plan.
We know that flexibility is key. That's why the BLUESEA Costa Serena offers you:

Bar-Cafeteria: The ideal place for that morning coffee, a midday refreshment or a quiet drink in the evening.
Freedom of Regime: You can book only the accommodation to live on your own, or add catering services if you prefer to have it all done for you. You are in charge of your holiday !

The "Route Plan" for Torremolinos
If you stay at the BLUESEA Costa Serena, our team of experts recommends:

Paseo Marítimo de Bajondillo: Walk along the sea until you reach La Carihuela. It is one of the liveliest promenades in Europe.
Parque de la Batería: Very close to the hotel, a fantastic place to walk, climb its lookout tower or simply unwind between trees.
Aqualand: If you are travelling with children, the water park is just a stone's throw away. Guaranteed fun for a whole day.

Why book with us?
Don't leave your holiday to the randomness of an automatic search engine. Booking with us has real advantages:

Area experts: We know Torremolinos street by street. We know which BLUESEA Costa Serena apartment suits you best if you are looking for morning sun or absolute tranquility. We give you the tips that don't come in the guidebooks.
24/7 travel assistance: Holidays are sacred. That's why we have a team that assists you 24 hours a day. If you have any unforeseen event, you will not talk to a robot; you will talk to us and we will solve it immediately.
Great sales team: We do not rest until we offer you the most competitive price in the market. Our commercial team negotiates daily so that you can enjoy this complex at the most aggressive cost. If you are looking for savings without losing quality, we are your agency.

Shall we start preparing your holiday?
The BLUESEA Costa Serena is to have your own little piece of Malaga your way.

7.4 Jesus Travelled with couple April 2026 They gave us the room at about 17.30, that is, they should improve the delivery time of the rooms. We went to Malaga one day, leaving at 8 am and returned at 21 pm, and we had not done the room, we went down to complain and they apologized but told us that they had no cleaning staff at that time, I told them that I did not understand because they had had all day to make the room, we went to dinner and perhaps because of poor foresight, since that day more people came in, we were left without dinner because there was no food at 21.10 at night, the trays were empty and in half an hour they did not replace them, so we left. So these things should be improved.

Nos entregaron la habitacion a eso de las 17,30 es decir deberian mejorar el tiempo de entrega de las habitaciones. Nos marchamos a Malaga un dia, saliendo a las 8 de la mañana y volvimos a las 21 de la noche, y no nos habian hecho la habitacion, bajamos a quejarnos y nos pidieron disculpas pero nos dijeron q no tenian personal de limpieza a esas horas, les dije q no lo entendia ya q habianntenido todo el dia para hacer la habitacion, fuimos a cenar y quizas x poca prevision, ya q ese dia entraron mas gente, nos quedamos sin cenar xq no habia comida a las 21,10 de la noche, las bandejas estaban vacias y en una media hora no las repusieron, con lo q nos fuimos. X lo q esas cosas deberian mejorarlas.
