Benalmadena

Benalmadena is a popular holiday resort on the Costa del Sol coast. Ideally located between the regions capital Malaga and the popular city of Marbella, Benalmadena offers everything you could want from a Spanish holiday in the sun.

The beaches around Benalmadena are literally awash with all types of water sports. Families will enjoy the Sea Life Centre, where you can enjoy the underwatBenalmadenaer tunnel, experience its touch pools and the Lost City of Atlantis!

Probably though the nine kilometres of beach is the place to be seen and is fast gaining the reputation of being the ‘in’ spot on Spain’s Costa del Sol.

There are a number of boat trips which enable you to experience the Marina (where there is space for over 1,000) and also enjoy some refreshment whilst aboard. You might want to hire a boat yourself to explore the area.

"Benalmadena offers everything you could want from a Spanish holiday in the sun." Its well designed Puerto Deportivo Marina includes many quayside bars, restaurants and other spots for entertainment.

It’s architecture is absolutely breathtaking, and this whole area won the Best Marina in the World title with British International Property magazine in 1995.

Benalmadena is one of those places that you should visit even if you are not staying there, but we hope you will.
