The residences, in the Mediterranean coastal towns of Benidorm and Torremolinos, are set to open early next year and will be available for guests between April and November.
The newly built Residence Maeva Benidorm is located in the centre of Benidorm, 600 metres from the beach. There are 207 one and two-bedroom fully-equipped apartments, sleeping up to four guests with excellent facilities including an indoor and outdoor pool, tennis court, padel courts and a garden playground with swings. Nearby, guests can enjoy local bars, restaurants, clubs and amusement and aquatic parks. The nearest airport is Alicante, which is a 40 minute drive away.
Maeva Stella Polaris Torremolinos has been fully renovated by Pierre & Vacances and lies in the heart of Torremolinos. The three star apartment complex has 189 fully equipped studios and one-bedroom apartments sleeping two to four guests and most have terraces with sea views. Within the resort there are two swimming pools including an outdoor pool and a children's pool, a solarium, a restaurant, bar-cafeteria and self-service laundry. The property is only a short 200 metre walk from the beach and is close to local shops, bars, restaurants, theatres, golf courses, theme parks and a Crocodile Park. Malaga Airport is a short 15-20 minute drive away. Prices for a two bedroom apartment sleeping up to four people for seven nights between July and September start at €550 (£467) at Residence Maeva Benidorm. At Maeva Stella Polaris Torremolinos, a studio apartment sleeping up to four people costs €590 (£501) for seven nights between July and September.
