Located  within  the  province of Malaga,  in the south  of  Spain,  the municipality of Mijas has lots of different sites to show.   Nestled  in the  beautiful mountains overlooking the Mediterranean is Mijas  Pueblo, an  ancient  village full of history that has become a  popular  tourist destination.  This walled town offers beautiful architecture, historical ruins and stunning views. 

Pawel  Efraimov,  President of Globe Developers Inc.,  based in New York City,  formed  Mijas Hill Development,  S.A.  in 1997 to undertake  this luxury resort hotel project at Mijas Golf. 

Mr.  Efraimov states: �I have been an international developer for twenty years  and  I  personally believe Radisson SAS Hotels & Resorts  is  the premium  hotel  operator.   We are delighted to announce this  agreement with Radisson SAS as it is a massive endorsement of our project,  and  I am sure that this hotel, representing their first entry into the Spanish market, will be a great success.�

A  few  kilometers away lies Mijas Costa,  a former fishing village that has  grown  into an attractive leisure area offering beaches  and  water sports.    The  region  also  plays   host  to  the  recently  completed magnificent Hippodrome racecourse.

This  spectacular  development   not   only  offers  a  broad  array  of recreational facilities,  but, due to the favourable winter climate, has furthermore  become a major golf destination with over 15 courses,  also embraced  by  two of the Costa del Sol�s best 18-hole championship  golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones. 

The  future  Radisson  SAS  Resort  is  conveniently  situated  only  25 kilometres away from the international airport of Malaga,  just  between Mijas  Pueblo and Mijas Costa.   It is on the top of a small  hill  with panoramic views, where Mijas Golf together with the coast are positioned with the mountains as backdrop. 

The resort complex will be designed in a whitewashed Spanish village style with a total of 95 suites.  Rooms will vary from one or two to three-bedroom units, with kitchenettes catering to longer-staying leisure guests. 

Facilities will include a lobby with a lounge and small retail units  as well  as  conference and meeting rooms in the business center.    Guests will be able to enjoy the great panoramic view from the large terrace of the restaurant or simply enjoy a fine cocktail at the bar.  Furthermore, there  will be a health area with an indoor swimming pool,  a  sauna,  a Turkish bath and a fitness suite. 

Kurt  Ritter,  President  &  CEO  for Radisson  SAS  Hotels  &  Resorts, comments:  �We  have  long looked for presence in  Spain  and  are  very excited  to  have found this great opportunity.   With our  Scandinavian routes and high presence in the European markets, we will now be able to sell Mijas as a popular leisure and golf destination.�

Radisson  SAS  Hotels  &  Resorts,  currently  includes  106  hotels  in operation  and 27 hotels under development in 38 countries  and  is  the sole  franchisor  in  Europe,  the Middle East and Africa  for  Radisson Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
