Costa del Sol Hotels

The Costa del Sol, a spread of beaches along the southern coast of Spain, attracts visitors from all over the world to its pristine beaches, consistent sunshine, Mediterranean Sea and Spanish way of life.

Hotels in the Costa del Sol

Based within the province of Malaga, the Costa del Sol area has a wide range of hotels, each of them catering to every taste. In resorts such as Estepona, Puerto Banús, Marbella or Torremolinos lie endless hotels, many of which have swimming pools, sea views and in close proximity to local shops and restaurants.

Costa Del Sol Beaches

With 25 of its beaches awarded as Blue Flag beaches in 2017, it is not surprising that many flock to enjoy the beaches along the Costa del Sol.

From families to couples, groups to solo travellers, there are plenty of beaches along the Costa del Sol to suit everyone. For instance, for those wanting less-tourist-filled beaches, there are beaches such as El Cristo in the area of Estepona, then Burriana and Maro within the eastern parts of the Costa del Sol. For those keen to be close to the main shops, nightlife and restaurants, the beaches within Marbella and Torremolinos prove popular.

At many beach resorts there are water activities such scuba diving, snorkelling, jet skiing and banana boating for those not content with lying on the beach. Within Marbella and Puerto Banus, several companies also offer tours to nearby islands and along the coast.

Costa Del Sol Parks

The Costa del Sol is spoilt for great water parks and there are plenty to entertain holidaymakers, especially those with young families. This includes Aqualand in Torremolinos, Aquevlis in Torre del Mar, and Costa Water Park, a floating water park in the sea.

In addition to water parks, the Costa del Sol affords wonderful parks to enjoy a few hours in. This includes Parque de la Bateria in Torremolinos, a park that overlooks the sea and with regular boat rides around its lake. There is also Paloma Park in Benalmadena, a lush and green-filled park with wide open spaces and lots of room for young children to run around in.

Walking in Costa del Sol

Costa del Sol not only provides beautiful walks along the water but also among nearby local villages and mountains. The Great Path or Gran Sena is a series of walks that pass through villages within Malaga, the province the Costa del Sol lies within. There are then magnificent walks among the Sierra de Tejeda, Alhama and Almijara mountain ranges, where hours can be spent hiking and enjoying the incredible views below of the coast and villages below.

Costa Del Sol Nightlife

Based along the Mediterranean, the Costa del Sol is packed with restaurants and cafes where local cuisine such as tapas, fresh fish, seafood and many other flavoursome dishes can be enjoyed.

At most of the main resorts along the Costa del Sol, there are plenty of bars for a few drinks and places to dance. For example, in Puerto Banus, a chic and upmarket part of the Costa del Sol, there are a line of bars overlooking the harbour, as well as nightclubs to dance in until the early hours. Benalmedena and Torremolinos also come alive come night time, with their nightclubs often packed during the summer months. The modest town of Marbella has more laid-back bars, live music and dancing for those wanting a somewhat quieter night.
