Benalmadena in Costa del Sol is just 19 kms from Malaga airport and has the privileged position of overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
The area is split into three distinct areas: Benalmadena Pueblo (the old village), Arroyo de la Miel (the town centre) and Benalmadena Costa (the coastal area with hotels, beaches and the marina)
Benalmadena Costa stretches for about 9 kms in the Costa del Sol and is the long stretch of coast between Fuengirola and Torremolinos with some beautiful beaches and a booming hotel industry.
Benalmadena Costa has beaches offering all manner of water sports and is lined with traditional beach restaurants and bars serving delicious charcoal grilled fresh sardines.
Since the early 1980's many improvements have been carried out to the beach area, including widening the beaches with imported sand from the Sahara and creating a very attractive paseao (a 2 km long promenade) which provides a lovely walk from Arroyo de la Miel to Benalmadena Port and then along to Torremolinos, passing the fascinating Castillo de Bil Bil, an Arab style building. This is a modern construction and is a restaurant, bar, conference exhibition and concert venue.
The marina at Benalmadena Costa offers boat rides and fishing trips. Just inland from Benalmadena village is the popular Tivoli World Amusement Park and cable car which offers unforgettable views of the coast from the top of the Calamorra mountain.
Our Villa Nicole is a large villa with private pool to rent at Torremuelle, a pleasant residential area 3¾ miles east of Fuengirola on Benalmadena Costa. The beach and local facilities are a short stroll away from this villa rental. Casa Mi Sueno, a 3 bedroom villa for rent at La Capellania is inland from Benalmadena Costa. Fuengirola is 5 miles west of this Spanish villa and the beach and villages of Mijas and Benalmadena are a short drive away.
For those who enjoy relaxing on holiday with a round of golf then Torrequebrada Golf Course is within driving distance of these two Costa del Sol villas. A car is essential for these two private villas, and VillaPlus.com. can offer competitive rates for car hire which must be booked in the U.K. before your villa holiday.
The attraction of Benalmadena Costa lies in the safe beaches with a variety of water sports and is worth a visit whilst on your villa holiday.
