IPV Palace & Spa can host company meetings, conventions, gala dinners and weddings for 10 to 650 guests across ten function rooms, with 285 sea-facing bedrooms in the same building. The hotel stands on the beachfront in Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol, next to the gardens of the Castillo de Sohail.
Seminars and company events
The hotel runs a dedicated corporate events department and offers about 1,400 square meters of meeting space split into ten rooms. The rooms are open plan with no columns, ceilings reach up to 6 meters, and every room has natural light. Several look out over the Mediterranean or toward the castle. High-speed wifi is included in the meeting rooms. The layout suits a plenary session with breakout rooms on the same level, since the larger halls divide and the smaller ones work alone or in pairs. Group requests go to a dedicated groups team.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and private celebrations are a core activity. The hotel presents eight of its rooms for wedding banquets and dancing: Real I, Real II, Real III, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Cádiz and Sevilla. Guests can stay in the hotel, and the in-house team adapts the set-up and the menu to each couple. The thalassotherapy spa is useful for wedding parties staying several days.
Rooms and capacities
The Gran Salón Real joins Real I, Real II and Real III into one hall, the largest space in the hotel. Real I and Real III each take up to 220 guests and Real II up to 170; Real II and III together reach 390. Córdoba, Jaén and Granada form a second modular group that opens up to about 380 people in theatre style, and Granada alone stretches to almost 37 meters. Sevilla, about 15 meters long, is the largest room that stands on its own, with up to 200 guests. Almería sits apart, to the left of the main hall, with sea views. Cádiz and Huelva serve smaller meetings of up to about 90 people and can be combined.
Accommodation
The hotel has 285 bedrooms, including three junior suites and three suites, and all of them face the sea. The spa offers a range of treatments, and staff help guests choose between them. A whole delegation or wedding party can therefore sleep, meet and eat under one roof.
