Malaga & Costa del Sol Holidays

Marbella is a chic, sophisticated resort town with wide avenues, designer shops and gastronomic dining. Here you can enjoy casinos, world-class tennis, sailing and golf. Orange Square provides stately buildings, small shops, art galleries, bars and bistros, and is a hub of activity day and night. Puerto Banus is a man-made port brimming with elegant yachts and expensive boats. Shop at one of the many world-renowned fashion boutiques, or enjoy the vibrant nightlife with alfresco bars, piano clubs and discos in bountiful supply.

The whitewashed villages of Mijas and Nerja are dotted around the mountains, valleys and waterfronts along the coast, offering water sports, quaint atmospheres with picturesque views, and miles of sandy beaches. Nerja is flanked by a dramatic mountain range. Admire stunning views from Sierra Almijara, then visit what’s rated as the 'prettiest village in Andalucia' – Frigiliana, a historically significant place as the scene of the final defeat of the Moors during their rebellion in 1569.

This upmarket beach resort, Estepona, is known as ‘the old town’ and is located halfway along the coast between Malaga and Gibraltar. Some of our most exclusive hotels on the Costa del Sol are found here, including the Kempinski Hotel Bahia. The numerous street cafes and tapas bars still serve traditional Spanish delicacies and the steep, narrow, cobbled streets actually seem more suited to horses than cars. You’ll also find unusual shops and bodegas here. This has all of the original character of a typical Andalusina village and is less touristy than other surrounding areas.

Relax on beaches, promenades and in the many bars and restaurants at Costa del Sol's beach resorts. Torremolinos was one of the first resorts to witness mass tourism which saw it being developed from a quaint fishing village into the bustling resort town it is today. Sample original fish bars, boutiques and gift shops. Make a splash at Torremolinos’ Aqualand, the largest waterpark in the Costa del Sol, which remains a big hit with families. A bevy of aquatic thrill rides await you here, including the adrenaline-pumping Speed Racer.

Benalmadena offers an award-winning marina and multi-cultural restaurants, popular with British visitors. Fuengirola serves upmarket tapas bars and restaurants, surrounded by chic boutiques and other shops, as well as fabulous beaches. Attend a concert or perhaps a beer festival at Fuengirola’s impressive Moorish fortification, Sohail Castle. The 12th-century castle sits 38 metres above sea level at the mouth of the Fuengirola River.
