The 40 Most Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2022
La Zambra, Mijas, Spain
Opening date: June 2022
Firm: Esteva i Esteva, Palma, Spain (architecture and design firm)
At a glance: In the 1980s and ’90s, Hotel Byblos on Spain’s Costa del Sol was a hotspot that attracted celebrities like the Rolling Stones. Now, after a branding and design overhaul, it’s poised to become the equally tantalizing 197-room La Zambra, complete with three pools and robust wellness offerings, including yoga and Pilates studios, which are balanced out by an energetic rotunda bar and an onsite nightclub. Mirroring its setting in the Andalusian hills, the resort will mix graceful archways with greenery and a muted palette.
