The iconic Hotel Byblos | History of La Zambra Resort
The story of an Andalusian Icon
In the heart of Costa del Sol, the iconic Byblos Hotel opened its doors in 1986, quickly becoming a sanctuary for the international elite.

The newly renovated interiors feature warm materials and soft tones that honor its Andalusian heritage, crafting an environment where relaxation and vibrancy merge seamlessly.
Byblos Hotel: where it all begins
Opened in 1986, the Mijas’ Byblos hotel remarkably became one of the most prestigious and sought-after destinations in Costa del Sol back in the 80s and 90s. A favourite for international jet-setters and royalty that seeked privacy and a secluded retreat, the Byblos hotel was a paragon of luxury, elegance, and hospitality in Spain.
The emblematic destination reborn as La Zambra
Keeping the Byblos hotel’s distinctive blue towers and white façade, La Zambra has been completely renovated, with warm materials and soft tones that reveal its Andalusian essence, where relaxation and fun blur its limits.
The legacy of a name
La Zambra is a flamenco dance that was born among the gypsies of Granada and Almeria. It was danced barefooted with a knotted blouse and a long skirt to create a free and floating effect in the air. This passionate dance gathered people who left their worldly concerns aside to elevate their souls and enjoy the moment.
