More about Benalmadena

Setting

Looking at the map Benalmádena is located in-between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, yet this doesn’t do justice to its setting along a wide stretch of sandy beach that gently slopes up to rocky cliffs whose elevation offers beautiful views over little coves and the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Conveniently close to Málaga city (20 minutes), its international airport (15 minutes) and Marbella (25 minutes), this lively resort town offers a bit of everything in an ideal location.

Characteristics

The broad sandy beaches that front Benalmádena are lined with a long promenade that stretches along to the large, lively marina that is home to yachts, attractive marina apartment complexes and a hive of restaurants, cafés and entertainment venues. Across the main coastal boulevard are hotels, parks and also the heart of the resort area, with its own collection of shops and dining spots. From here residential areas of apartments, townhouses but also villas follow the gradient upwards into hilly terrain close to an old quarter that now adds a charming Andalusian village ambience to Benalmádena’s varied offering.
