Back to Seasons in the Sun
Forest Hills, Estepona, Costa del sol
  Perched like a fairytale castle on top of one of the foothills of the Sierra de Ronda range, Seasons at Forest Hills commands unrivalled views of the mountains to the north and the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the North African hills to the south.  
  Just 45 minutes drive via the new motorway from Malaga airport, the resort is conveniently situated some 4 km from the nearest beach and only 6km from the pretty town of Estepona, with its charming marina, promenade and beach.

During the summer, visitors enjoy up to 14 hours of sunshine a day, while even in the mild winter months, there is plenty of warm sunshine to encourage the abundant palm trees, citrus groves and brilliantly coloured flowers.

Now even more easily accessible – thanks to the new motorway which has opened from Malaga to Estepona – Western Andalucia is a truly delightful area. Being less developed than the rest of the Costa del Sol, it is famous for its many attractive whitewashed mountain villages and mile after mile of uncrowded beaches, washed by the clear Mediterranean Sea.
There’s a tremendous range of activities available, both on and off the water, and wherever you go, you’ll find breathtaking mountain and coastal views round every corner.		  
 

Its unique commanding position high on the hillside means that wherever you are on the resort, you can enjoy spectacular views in all directions.

Seasons at Forest Hills is a unique romantic holiday hideaway featuring dramatic Andalucian architecture, and offering a range of facilities for your holiday pleasure, including:

  
 
  • Heated swimming pool with sun terrace and sunbeds, with fabulous views

  • Poolside snack bar serving delicious snacks and light meals during the day

  • Enclosed bar and dining area, with occasional entertainment and evening functions

  • Pool table

  • Multi-lingual Reception staff

  • Car hire. As there is no bus service from Forest Hills, we recommend that visitors wanting to explore the area arrange to pick up their car from Malaga Airport. This is also far more cost effective than taking a taxi to the resort.

Please note that owing to its hillside position, there are a lot of steps to negotiate at Seasons at Forest Hills.

    
  Accommodation
Because Seasons at Forest Hills is built around a hilltop, each apartment has its own very individual design, size, shape and layout. There is a total of 44 apartments in a choice of one and two bed, all equipped and furnished to very high standards.		  
  All of the spacious, light and airy apartments are fully tiled and have satellite television, VCR/DVD player, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, washing machine, a private patio looking out over lovely views and well equipped kitchens, including fridge/freezer, oven and four ring hob.

Naturally, all bed linen, towels, glassware, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery are supplied, and each time you visit, you can be sure that you will always be greeted by an apartment in immaculate condition.		  
  Exploring the area
Just 10 minutes drive away, at nearby Estepona, there’s a delightful promenade to stroll along, with a gently shelving pebble beach offering safe bathing, plus windsurfing, waterskiing and jet skiing facilities for more active visitors. The town also offers a wide selection of bars, restaurants and shops to suit all tastes and budgets, plus a large supermarket on the outskirts.		  
  Meanwhile, at the nearest sandy beach (4km), you’ll find a cheerful beachside bar offering drinks and light meals from Easter to the end of October (closed during winter).

One of the area’s most exciting developments is the Selwo National Park about 10 minutes drive from the resort, where you can view many wild animals including such big game as rhino, elephants, lions and antelope roaming ‘free’ from the safety of one of the park’s special viewing vehicles.

For those wanting to explore the Costa del Sol, Seasons at Forest Hills is the ideal location and with so much to see and do, a hire car – available from Reception – is recommended to make the most of your stay. It should also be noted that there is no bus service from Forest Hills.

Inland from the resort lie the famous ‘ white villages’, such as Gaucin and Casares, where authentic Andalucia has remained unspoilt for centuries.		  
  Further towards Malaga, the Costa offers a fascinating mixture of famous resorts, such as the contrasting jetset sophistication of Puerto Banus (25 minutes from Forest Hills) – with its fabulous marina full of millionaire’s dream yachts – and only a little further on, the narrow streets of Marbella old town, hardly changed since the 16th century.

You’ll find that eating out anywhere on the Costa del Sol is an experience not to be missed, ranging from small authentic tapas bars to the top class international gourmet cuisine to be experienced in the heart of Puerto Banus.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, be sure to take a trip to historic Gibraltar, and maybe take advantage of the easy availability of day cruises to North Africa.
  
  FOREST HILLS - the resort is about 80km (48 miles) from Malaga airport, and some taxi drivers can be quite unfriendly and charge up to 100 Euros!

Although hiring a car is the best value for money, members wishing to arrange a transfer from the airport are strongly advised to phone resort reception in advance of their visit on 0034 952 806924. They will organise a friendly driver and a 50 Euro fare - ensuring a massive saving
and a pleasant journey!
