Benalmadena holidays have variety in spades. We're talking beaches to tickle every taste, an assortment of activities and a generous dollop of Andalusian history.
A town of three parts
This Costa del Sol stretch is divvied up into three. Benalmadena Pueblo – the oldest part – is all about narrow streets, whitewashed houses and cafés that spill out onto the pavements. The Arroyo de la Miel area’s more modern and brimming with bars and restaurants. Then, there's the town’s famous 24 Hour Square, which brings the party people flocking. The final piece of the puzzle is, of course, the coast, with its lively marina and chain of 12 prom-backed beaches.
Bevy of beaches
Stretching out along over 10 miles of coast, Benalmadena's beaches are a mix ‘n’ match affair. You’ve got the Blue Flag-waving Santa Ana, where sloping sands and shallow waters team up, making it a great choice for a family holiday. If you’re all about the watersports, try Torre Bermeja, where you can take to the waves on a jet ski, or bounce along on a banana boat. Chilled-out coves and low-key shingle beaches are in decent supply, too.
