Discover Benalmádena: tradition, hospitality, and the Mediterranean 

White houses, colourful flowerpots, and green gardens blend with the intense blue of the sea that defines Benalmádena’s Mediterranean character. An open and welcoming town where people from more than 100 different countries live—without ever losing the soul of its Andalusian roots. 

Nestled between the coast and the mountains, the heart of the Costa del Sol beats in its old town, through the ancient wall, the sculpture of La Niña, and along its nine kilometres of coastline, made for enjoying the sun and relaxation. It also beats among the shops and bars in Arroyo de la Miel’s streets, where locals and the many visitors enjoy mild weather no matter the time of the year. 

The municipality is just 15 minutes from Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport and 25 minutes from Málaga city. Benalmádena’s wide hotel and dining offer goes hand in hand with natural and urban trails, leisure parks, and attractions for both summer and winter. A range of experiences made possible by its accessible character, making it easy to reach the town by public or private transport. A perfect place in the Costa del Sol to enjoy, feel, and share!
