There’s 160km of coastline to play around with here. That means beaches of every shape and size, from spacious stretches to quieter coves. And if you want to get active, you’ve got all kinds of wild watersports, from parasailing to wakeboarding and waterskiing. Get ready to make a splash!
The three resorts in the centre of the Costa del Sol – Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Fuengirola – offer everything from shimmering marinas linked with canals, to theme parks and buzzing bar-lined streets. Scenic backgrounds tick all the boxes for nature-seekers, while there are club-filled squares ready to steal the night.
It’s worth heading right into the middle of the Costa to fully explore. Discover towns high up in the mountains split by huge gorges and bridges, as well as pretty whitewashed old towns to wander around. You’ll get some magnificent views from all around these divine resorts.
This surprisingly large town is a sprawl of low-rise, whitewashed buildings spread across an idyllic hillside location.
This traditional Spanish town is a gorgeous spot for a seaside getaway, with more beach than you could possibly need right on your doorstep!
This relatively new resort along the Costa del Sol is made up of plush villas and townhouses, and really attracts the sun.
For sheer fun in the sun, you’ll find plenty of extensive stretches of Blue Flag beach all across the Costa. But if you want to get away from it all, there are cooler, lesser-known shingle patches to sprawl out on, too. Palm-fringed pathways line these gorgeous seaside spots.

Castles, chapels, traditional towns and more classic Spanish features dot this coastal region. There are loads of epic sights to see in the resorts, while statues and palaces full of mosaics, hidden courtyards and gently playing fountains make for wonderful day trips, should you prefer to venture further out.

Make sure you save time for water and theme parks! Aqualand in Torremolinos is the biggest around here, with hair-raising slides to suit adrenaline junkies as well as calmer versions for little ones. Botanical gardens are ideal for strolling around, while immaculate golf courses offer an active side for sportspeople.

Cool down the Costa del Sol way with refreshing cold soup. You could try some of the white garlic recipe made with almonds, or a typical gazpacho. Seafood and international dishes are real winners too – especially if you fancy tucking in along the harbour or in the usual Brit-friendly pubs.

You’ll find malls, stores and souvenir shops all around the Costal del Sol, but for chic boutiques, Marbella and Puerto Banús are the places to go. Fuengirola has a brilliant complex housing all of your favourite chains, while local markets are great for buying fresh goods and trying out your haggling.

Head to the centre of town in Torremolinos for an array of clubs, live acts, discos and bars, or get dolled up for party nights in the glitzier resorts.
