The Costa del Sol region
One of the most popular holiday destinations for tourists and residents is the coast of Andalucia known as the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) and in particular, the area that runs from Nerja to Gibraltar.
Malaga is more or less in the centre of the Costa Del Sol, dividing it into the Eastern Costa del Sol and the Western Costa del Sol.
The Costa del Sol stretches along just over 160 kilometres of Málaga province and the resorts on the western side of the costa are generally the most popular and have something to offer everyone!
The coastal resorts of Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Marbella are amongst the most popular, offering every amenity and facility available and a fantastic Mediterranean climate – with good weather all year round.
Approximately 19km from Malaga within Andalucia, lies the principality of Benalmadena which consists of three main areas. Benalmadena Pueblo (village), Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Costa.
This newly acquired, recently decorated and furnished apartment can be found on the Arenel Golf Complex – which is in the vicinity of the Benalmadena Pueblo area.
The Benalmadena / Benalmadena Pueblo area
Benalmadena is made up of three main areas: Benalmadena Pueblo, Benalmadena Costa and Arroyo de la Miel.
Benalmadena Pueblo is the original old town settled in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas at about 5 kilometers inland. The town is a typical Andalucian style white-washed village with narrow streets and superb views of the coastline. There are a wide range of attractions in this area, which includes a museum, a picturesque church, gardens and an interesting castle (Colomares Castle) which is also a sanctuary for birds and tropical animals!
Local Cultural festivals include....
Easter Week, live presentation of the Passion of Christ in the Pueblo
February 28th - Andalucia Day (everything Spanish closed)
24th-29th June. Arroyo de la Miel celebrates John the Baptist with a local fair
Mid-August, Virgin of the Cross festivities with a fair in the Pueblo
July 16th, evening boat procession on the Costa for Veladilla del Carmen
Benalmadena Costa has 9km of shoreline with beautiful beaches and tiny coves and a fully equipped Marina for over 1,000 vessels. The marina is surrounded by apartments, shops, restaurants, boutiques and the Sea-Life aquarium. It also offers sports such as diving and sailing. The marina boasts many international awards for design and functionality.
Close to the Marina, visitors will find a 24-hour square with a numerous nightclubs, discos and a cinema, which makes it a popular area for the young.
Benalmadena Costa also has its own casino, night club and golf course. There is a garden of over 200,000 square metres, overlooking the sea - The La Paloma Park has a large lake with landscaped gardens, wildlife and a mini zoo.
Opposite the park is the Selwo marine park with its Dolphin and Sea-lion displays. As you head further west along the coast beyond the Torrequebrada Casino, the resort area becomes quieter and you will find smaller, less crowded beaches.
There is also a historic Plaza de Toros (bullring) as well as 15-20 golf courses all within a 20 minute drive. If you fancy it you could take a trip to Gibraltar or Marbella and wander round the designer shops in Puerto Banus.

*******************************************Benalmadena Marina************************************************
No trip to Benalmadena would be complete without a visit to its world famous marina, often referred to as Puerto Marina. Designed by the architect Eduardo Oria it first opened its doors in 1982, after taking nearly 10 years to complete. The concept was to bring the marina into the town; this was achieved by the creation of several islands, hosting both residential & commercial structures.
The architecture of these surrounding buildings is a fusion of Indian, Arabic, & Andalusian styles which (perhaps surprisingly) works incredibly well. Car parking is well hidden with adequate capacity, leafy gardens & mosaics dot its fringes; all this adding to the marina's individual feel & presence.
Since its inauguration the marina has been awarded the "Best Marina in the World" title on two occasions. In addition its waters boast the European Blue Flag for cleanliness.

good apartment huge balcony nice haveing two bathrooms .when theres a few of you .good views pool just round corner.club house just open.very nice get snack and a drink only min/walk away.bus stop just out side approx every 40 min easy going out .bit harder trying get back.taxi anything from 7/9 euro .super market 10or 15 min walk up very steep hill.nice quite place would recommend car.things did not like got use to fridge alarm.not one decent sun bed.and the other thing that did not like was the apartment, above water flowers or so they said but when they did this the water came down on us below .this happend when we were out side on balcony haveing some thing to eat or drink .then you would have go in side save getting wet.family from stoke on trent. Response: There is a steep hill for access to Phase 2 which is walk-able but a car is advised as stated in the advert. The fridge alarm has been repaired and all of the sun beds have been replaced for hard wearing , robust plastic type. Flower beds on the terraces of the apartments above this ground floor property are periodically watered from time to time which means that water can drip directly onto the ground floor terrace. Just to reassure any future guests- flower watering is restricted until after specific hours in the community and it is also infrequent. The ground floor terrace is also large enough to not place the outdoor furniture directly underneath the apartment terraces above. |

Would recommend a car, we have stayed here many times ( that in itself is a strong recommendation! ) and there has never been a problem, it has heating and aircon which makes it very comfortable and it has Sat TV which is great, the owners are nice to book through along with the lady that gives you the key on arrival. Wouldnt want to stay anywhere else when in this region 10 out of 10. |
