The Costa del Sol region


The sunshine coast of Spain has 300+ days of sunshine every year and plenty of activities to suit all ages and tastes. Riviera del Sol is situated in Mijas Costa between the bustling lively town of Fuengirola and the more sophisticated Marbella and Puerto Banus - or locally between the attractive village of La Cala and the popular port of Puerto Cabopino.
The excursion choices are many and varied, and our guests have gone to Gibraltar, Granada, Cordoba, Malaga, Marbella, Puerto Banus, Ronda and Mijas Pueblo - amongst other places.
The Mijas Costa / Riviera del Sol area
Riviera del Sol is a well established, well maintained area and the apartment is in a good location at Paraiso Riviera. The nearest beaches are a 5 min drive, 10 minute walk (& cheap taxi back) at Riviera del Sol. There are three sandy beaches with good swimming on two and rocks / rock pools on the third and Chinguiritos (beach bar /eateries) at each end, with sun beds and palm shades if you want. The long beach at La Cala (10 mins) is gloriously unspoilt and has more of those small, informal eateries on the sand for sardines & chips and local beer, while Puerto Cabopino has some classy restaurants above both harbour and beach.
This is the unspoilt part of the Costa del Sol. There are some attractive small towns and plenty of great food. Eat al fresco on the terrace or enjoy a huge range of restaurants in the area.
A short drive into the hills will take you to character Andalucian towns like white-washed Mijas & spectacular Ronda or 15 mins along the coast will take you to stylish Marbella. There are easy day trips to Gibraltar & Malaga and visits to Cordoba or Granada (coach trips available too) are easily organised.
It will seem as if you are only a short distance from everything at Riviera del Sol - positioned mid way between Marbella and Fuengirola in Mijas-costa. There are so many places to visit you will feel spoiled for choice.
There are also loads of water sports and children's fun activities available, including the water park, parasailing, dolphin trips, power boats and jetskis plus the zoo.. Further afield there's Tivoliworld theme park (which is like Chessington/Thorpe park)and the crocodile park.
Three mins drive / 8 mins walk away there's tennis courts, mini golf and badminton plus a fitness studio and beauty therapy centre and a pool that's heated throughout the winter. And there's riding and trekking too.
Golf is great here with the long hours of sunshine all year round. It is 5 mins drive to Miraflores Golf course which offers 18 holes with great sea views. There is also the Miraflores Golf Academy and the high-tech Driving Range. Golf enthuasiasts will be spoilt for choice here as there are many top golf courses along the coast..
Shopaholics will enjoy the large shopping malls at La Canada in Marbella, or Miramar in Fuengirola and the vibrant street markets that all the towns offer on different days.
Buses and taxis are available within walking distance, and fast cheap bendy buses run along the coastal dual carriageway every 30 mins with stop off points at all the local places. You can holiday locally without a car although car hire will definitely help for day trips out and about.

A very clean comfortable apartment that has a home from home feel unlike many rental properties where there are no little creature comforts and that appear to have been stripped to a bare minimum.From the point of initial contact with the owner to the meeting with their onsite representative all went smoothly and helpfully. The apartment is roomy and well situated but a car is advisable.Plenty of decent reasonable bars and restaurants relatively close. I would highly recommend this property. |

Great spacious apartment with comfortable modern furniture - a real home from home. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay as we had excellent communication from the start and were able to plan a great break. Super instructions on how to get to the apartment on public transport as on budget - was very easy to do. Also given lots of info on local shops, places to eat and so felt right at home immediately. Good situation as able to get to around to many places of interest easily but also good to know that we had a peaceful private space to return to. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning to stay again!! |
Guestbook for Paraiso Riviera
'Thanks for everything. We had a lovely holiday and the kids had so much fun. We are recommending your apartment to all our friends.'
'Thanks so much to both of you for the use of the apartment. It is a wonderful place and we have enjoyed, probably, the best holiday with our children ever. Clare and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary whilst there and we have all had a great time. We would very much like to rent the apartment from you again next year and cannot stress enough how much we have enjoyed being there.'
'Your apartment was as good as we expected and we liked the quietness at the end of the day. I must mention your agent who was quite wonderful in sorting things out for us when we locked ourselves out of the flat with the keys in the inside of the door. When we came back at the end of the day it was all done! Just what you want on holiday.'
'Your apartment was really fantastic and just how you had described it on your web-site. It is very comfy and spacious and we certainly felt like it was our home away from home with really comfortable beds, large thick bath towels and fantastic water pressure in the showers. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery etc. and you also have the best wine opener that I've ever used: even time shares don't have one that good!"
