View from our balcony

The Costa del Sol region

Located on the southern half of the Costa Del Sol, between Malaga and Gibraltar, a mild micro-climate prevails throughout the year. The slopes of the Sierra Blanca mountains give the region a warm summer and a mild winter. During the summer the average temperature is 30 centigrade, and temperatures in January are around 16 centigrade. With up to 320 days of sunshine a year, this is an ideal climate in which to enjoy the outdoor life.

Apart from all kinds of water sports, from sailing and windsurfing to deep-sea fishing, the wide variety of recreational activities available include golf, tennis, horse-riding and hiking.

Menara Beach offers easy access to the main coastal road, which leads to the beautiful Costa Del Sol and further inland to ANDALUSIA, with many pretty Spanish rural villages and the major towns of Ronda and Granada.

Alternatively you may wish to visit GIBRALTAR, where you can make use of tax-free shopping or take a cable-car up the Rock to visit the famous apes. You could also take a hydrofoil trip to MOROCCO from Algeciras or Gibraltar.

TIVOLI WORLD is the Costa Del Sol's biggest amusement park and is situated just 2km from Benalmadena. There are over 24 thrilling rides to choose from, as well as restaurants, bars and a programme of Spanish entertainment. Tivoli World is a great place for all the family with plenty of smaller rides also for the younger children.

Also near to Tivoli World is SEA WORLD. This park offers a wide variety of marine animals from dolphin shows to sea-lion performances in a large outdoor theatre. You can also stroll around the park looking at many other types of animals, watch the funny penguins or feed the fish in the outdoor aquaria. Good fun for all the family.

AQUAPARK TORREMOLINOS was built in 1984 and has constantly updated its attractions. Aquapark is undoubtedly the pioneer and the largest water park on the Costa Del Sol. Aquapark covers 70,000 square metres and has many attractions for all different ages and abilities including Tropical Small Lake, Children's Water Park, Bubble Pool along with bigger slides & rides and mini golf.

In winter you can even drive up to the SIERRA NEVADA mountains in around 3 hours to enjoy some skiing at more than 3000m high.

The Puerto Banus / Menara Beach area

MENARA BEACH is uniquely situated on a quiet Mediterranean coastline, with direct access to 500m of beach right on your doorstep, part sand, part pebbles and very safe for swimming.

Alongside the apartment complex, you will find TORRE AL-MENARA, a medieval tower situated on a 30,000m2 expanse of manicured parkland which has been incorporated into the overall environment.

Less than 5 minutes stroll from the apartment is a small commercial parade, where you can enjoy a fresh coffee from the DELI and where they also serve an excellent selection of home-prepared salads, hot savoury meals, sandwiches, either to eat in or take back to the apartment. Also along this parade you will find VINCE'S which is a small supermarket providing all those "essential" English provisions and where they also have a small restaurant serving family-friendly meals.

From the lower pool area, turn left through the security-gate and stroll along the beach to HEAVEN BEACH BAR. You can just sunbathe on the beach or eat and drink in the restaurant. In the summer months there is normally a barbecue on the beach, cooking fresh fish with a good alternative selection of meat dishes and salads. The bar has regular live music played down on the beach. An excellent place to eat, drink and chill out for the afternoon, while the kids (if any) can play happily and safely on the beach.

A two-minute stroll along the promenade in the opposite direction you will find the gastronomic TIKITANO BEACH RESTAURANT. This well-renowned Michelin star restaurant offers fine dining to excite & satisfy the most sophisticated gourmet customer.

Only a 10 minute drive away, slightly inland, you will find the SELWO SAFARI/ADVENTURE PARK. It is a mix of nature, safari and adventure park and is unique in Europe. It has a huge wilderness with more than 2,000 animals from around the world such as elephants, lions and tigers, all living in semi-freedom and where you can explore either in 4x4 vehicles driven by experts or on foot using the walkways. There is also a large walk-through aviary with more than 1,000 birds. Well worth a day-trip visit.

Just a 10 minute drive along the coast you will find PUERTO BANUS, the renowned and cosmopolitan playground of the rich. Here you can stroll along the marina looking at all the luxury yachts, do a bit of shopping or pop into one of the many restaurants or cafés for lunch. Puerto Banus is busy by day but also very lively by night, with bars and nightclubs open until the early hours of the morning. From here you can also catch one of the small boat-trips which leave the harbour regularly, taking you to MARBELLA. The boat-trip takes approximately 30 minutes and you can then spend as long as you like in Marbella town before catching the boat back.

Another 10 minute drive, in the direction of Gibraltar, you can visit ESTEPONA. The main town area is still quite Spanish with little pedestrianised streets providing plenty of varied shops, restaurants & cafés. Further along the seafront you will find the marina/harbour where you can stroll along the promenade and stop for a coffee. If you visit on a Sunday there is a good Sunday market between 9am to 2pm, providing a great variety of stalls. In the port you can also book for a deep-sea fishing expedition.

And finally, of course, there’s GOLF. This is a veritable golfers paradise, with more than 50 courses within easy reach for the apartment, offering all levels of challenge from the scratching amateur right up to the scratch-handicap expert.

Although a car is not essential, one is highly recommended in order to explore the surrounding areas. However, if you don't want to drive, there is a BUS STOP within a two minute walk from the apartment, serving the surrounding towns, including Puerto Banus, Estepona and Malaga.

There is also a 24-hour registered TAXI SERVICE at the entrance to the urbanisation, next to the Deli, which is useful for short journeys or those late nights out.

“A truly luxurious apartment in a beautiful complex” We chose Menara Beach for a short break and some early sunshine in April 2011. We were travelling with our two sons (20 & 17) who wanted to take their girlfriends so we looked for somewhere relatively inexpensive,with plenty of room and with facilities which would suit all of us. Menra Beach gave us all of this & more.. The apartment is elegant and spacious with a very large living area that easily accommodates a sofa bed, a large en-suite bedroom a second bedroom and bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen & utility room. The two large balconies furnished with comfortable seating adds to the airy spaciousness of the apartment. The decor throughout is elegant and understated and the fixtures and fittings new and modern. The complex itself is very attractive with lush tropical gardens opening on to the sea front and two beautifully maintained swimming pools with plenty of sunbeds. There is also an indoor swimming pool and a small gym. My two boys made much use of the table tennis table and I was charmed to find a library next to the gym. There are a number of excellent restaurants within walking distance of the apartment & the resorts are a short drive away. Ruth ensured that our stay was comfortable and easy and she is rightfully proud of her beautiful property. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Menara Beach (indeed I already have to a number of friends!) and we will definitely book again.

“Wonderful apartment and have already booked to go back in 2012” The apartment was just as we envisaged it from the photographs and was very well equipped. It was very clean with what looked like new bedding and, although there is no maid service, there is ample spare bedding and towels for use even during a 2 week stay. The complex has all that you would wish for with the pools, picturesque gardens and a gym, you can also exit straight onto the beach from the pool. The area is quiet and relaxing yet you are within easy reach of the nightlife of Puerto Banus and local restaurants.
