The Costa Del Sol boasts on average 320 days sunshine a year.
Explore close by the typical white Andalucian mountain villages such as Mijas, Ronda or Casares .

Fuengirola is probably most famous for its five miles of sandy beaches and is 15 mins drive away to the ( East ), a bustling town by day and night and plenty of night life for the young ones. Follow the shopping baskets on Tuesdays and you will find yourself at the largest and liveliest street market on the coast. There is also a Saturday boot sale here with the predictably intriguing selection of items on sale.
Marbella 15 mins drive to the ( West ) expensive shops and the high society of the Costa del Sol is what await you when driving along the Golden Mile towards the marina. The amphitheatre at Constitution Park (once the garden of a private residence) is frequently used for concerts and plays in the summer. Casinos, clubs and just about every sporting activity under the sun.
However for the ultimate in coastal charisma it would be hard to beat Puerto Banus, just west of Marbella town. This is the place to be pampered yacht side and watch the world go by or window shop at one of several of the world renowned fashion houses and boutiques. The port has grown considerably over the years and now includes a casino, commercial shopping centre, El Corte Ingles department store, marine observatory and a multi cinema with films shown in their original soundtrack. The night life is buzzing here with alfresco bars, piano clubs and discos which are open dusk until dawn.
This part of the Costa del Sol is a paradise for "GOLF" Located in Calahonda are 4 excellent golf courses within a few minutes drive of the apartment . There are 50 golf clubs within 50 kms - the area otherwise being known as Costa Del Golf. There are many superb courses within 15-20 minutes drive and Valderrama is within easy driving distance.

Calahonda / Bonita Hills area
This quiet, private gated community is located in the desirable and extremely popular area of Calahonda.
The community of Bonita Hills is maintained to the highest standard and is one of the newer, more exclusive communities in long-time established Calahonda. There are fine restaurants and a small market next door to the Miel Y Nata, Restaurant for essentials less than 200 mtrs from Bonita Hills, with three commercial centres incorporating, larger super markets, shops and many other services in lower Calahonda only 2km away, Calahonda has all the amenities that the larger towns have on offer. Due to the great number of English speaking residents and visitors, it is easy to find English medical centres and most people there can speak English.

Cabopino beach has recently been declared a natural monument with pristine dunes and a section of the beach reserved for naturist sunbathing. On the Calahonda beaches you will find jet-skies and facilities for sailing, balloon flights or cable skiing. After an exhausting ride or a long day in the sun one can enjoy fresh and delicious seafood that is offered along the coast from Calahonda to Marbella.
Another great place to go is the Niiki Beach, a private beach club with restaurants, bars, go kart, facilities for children and of course also water sports. Para-sailing is also offered here and a must for everyone who would like to see the coast from a birds-eye view.
