Sol Príncipe All Inclusive Torremolinos
Sol Príncipe is a big family resort on Playamar, and the pool landscape is the part most guests notice first. The Caribbean-style lagoon pool and children’s Splash area give it a very resort-led feel, while direct beach access means you are not trapped around the pool if you want a change. It works especially well for families who like activity, space and a busy summer atmosphere.
Sol Príncipe at a Glance
What Is It Really Like to Stay Here?
Sol Príncipe is one of those hotels where the pool is not an afterthought: the large lagoon-style pool area is a central part of the resort and gives the property its lively family character. It fronts the Playamar side of Torremolinos, so families can switch between pool and beach without organising a day trip. This is a busy, sociable hotel rather than a quiet boutique stay, and it works best for parents who want children to have plenty happening around them while still being able to walk the seafront in the evening.
This hotel makes most sense when you match its real strengths to the way you like to holiday, rather than choosing it only by star rating or price.
Why This Hotel Feels Different
Playamar is a useful base because you are close to Málaga Airport and Málaga city but still have a full beach-resort atmosphere. From the hotel you can explore Bajondillo and central Torremolinos on foot, head towards Los Álamos for a different stretch of beach, or use the local rail network for Málaga and Benalmádena. It gives you much more than seven days around one swimming pool.
A Closer Look at Sol Príncipe
The defining feature here is the large lagoon-style pool complex rather than the bedroom block. It creates the classic busy summer-resort atmosphere: families settle around the water for much of the day, children move between the splash facilities and organised activities, and the beach remains immediately available when everybody wants a change. Room choice includes standard SOL rooms, front-sea-view suites and family suites, including accommodation overlooking the Splash area.
Because the hotel is on Playamar, you are not dependent on organised excursions. Walk west along the promenade towards Bajondillo and central Torremolinos, or east towards Los Álamos. The local rail line is one of the Costa del Sol's most useful assets: Málaga city, the airport and Benalmádena can all be reached without hiring a car.
Who will enjoy it most?
Families who like a lively hotel with plenty of other children around are the obvious audience. Couples who want quiet poolside reading all day may find the atmosphere busy in school holidays, but sea-view accommodation and the long promenade still make it workable for adults who enjoy an active resort.
Rooms & Accommodation
Accommodation runs from straightforward SOL rooms with furnished terraces to front-sea-view suites and family suites overlooking the Splash area. The family suites are useful when you want more living space and a layout designed around travelling with children.
Room names, occupancy and facilities can change. Check the exact room description on the provider page before booking.
What Is It Like for Families?
The hotel is strongly geared towards families, with a children’s splash zone, kids activities, play spaces and a range of family-friendly room types. It is a hotel where children can have a genuinely different day without leaving the resort.
What Is It Like for Couples?
Couples who enjoy lively hotels can still make good use of the beach location, sea-view room options and the wider Torremolinos promenade. Those wanting an intimate adults-only atmosphere would probably be happier elsewhere.
Food & Drink
The hotel provides buffet-style dining and bars around the resort. Exact all-inclusive inclusions and seasonal restaurant openings should be checked for your dates.
Restaurant openings, reservations and all-inclusive inclusions may vary by season and booking type.
Entertainment, Pools & Things to Do
Daytime activities, children’s programming and evening entertainment create a busy resort atmosphere during the main season.
Step Outside: What Is Around the Hotel?
Playamar is one of the best-known beach areas in Torremolinos. You can walk the promenade towards Bajondillo and the centre, or head the other way towards Los Álamos for beach clubs and restaurants.

Build Your Own Sol Príncipe Holiday

Compare departure airport, flight time, baggage allowance and arrival time. The advantage is choice: you can build the trip around where you live and how you prefer to travel.
Arrange the transfer that suits you
Once your flights are chosen, compare private transfers, shared shuttles, taxi, rail or car hire depending on the resort and your plans.
