Is Fuengirola a tourist hotspot?
There’s no denying – Fuengirola is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the Costa del Sol, with almost 500,000 tourist visits recorded in 2023.
After all, it has all the ingredients for a perfect summer holiday.
Sun, sea, sand. Excellent shops, bars and restaurants. A vibrant nightlife. Lots of local attractions and cultural sights. A myriad of leisure activities, including everything from world-class golf courses within a 10 minute drive, to exciting water sports. Plus, it offers convenient transport links to nearby hotspots such as Marbella and Estepona.
As a result, it does tend to be busier during the peak season, and properties for sale in Fuengirola are often bought by investors and rented as holiday homes.
However, it’s important to note, tourism isn’t its defining feature.
Yes – at its heart, Fuengirola is always a bustling and lively town. But the influx in visitor numbers is very much limited to the summer months. Most of the time, it’s simply a beautiful, easy-going place to live and enjoy the glorious sunshine.
Once a quiet fishing village, it’s retained much of its original Andalusian character and charm. The area has a friendly community atmosphere, with lots of local events and annual celebrations. Over the years, it’s become a much-loved spot for expats. If you’re looking for somewhere to relax and experience a laidback lifestyle on the Costa del Sol, a home in Fuengirola certainly won’t disappoint.
Should I buy a property in Fuengirola or Benalmadena?
Approximately 20 minutes apart by car, Fuengirola and Benalmadena are both very popular – and fairly similar – towns along the coastline. They share many of the same key characteristics. Therefore, for those looking to invest, it can be difficult to choose between the two.
Our advice is to consider your personal preferences carefully.
For example, do you want to be near the beach? If so, a property for sale in Fuengirola might be the best choice, with most homes situated close to the coastline. Or would you prefer to live in an elevated mountain location, with beautiful panoramic sea views? If so, Benalmadena may be a better place to start your search.
Detailed information on both Fuengirola and Benalmadena can be found on our website. But if you’re still unsure which is right for you, it’s worth contacting our specialist property team.
As a leading real estate agency in the Costa del Sol, we have unrivalled insight into these areas – as well as most others in the region. Once we know what you have in mind, we should be able to point you in the right direction, answering any questions you might have and recommending potential properties to add to your shortlist. Simply give us a call on +34 952 939 460 (+44 208 068 7606) to get started.
