Mijas is one of the most relaxing holiday resorts in Costa del Sol. Here you can absorb the traditional Spanish town atmosphere, with its cobbled streets and whitewashed walls. The resort of Mijas is divided into two areas. A few kilometres inland is Mijas Pueblo – a charming, traditional hillside town with stunning views of Africa and Gibraltar. Mijas Costa has a 12-kilometre stretch of coastline boasting nine beaches.
Estepona
Estepona is one of the places where holidays to Costa del Sol have retained the authentic local Spanish charm. A tourist resort has been built around the old town, which sits on the Andalusian coast, south of Marbella. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Estepona has spades of character and is a great option for travelling couples, families and those going solo.
Frigiliana
One of the calmer holiday resorts Costa del Sol has to offer, Frigiliana provides a retreat in favour of idyllic natural charm. This Andalucian 'white village' is perched on the mountain overlooking the coastal town of Nerja, which is just a short journey away. Little known by the hoards of tourists that flock to southern Spain each year, Frigiliana is a gem in the Costa del Sol crown waiting to welcome you on your next holiday.
Fuengirola
Fuengirola is one of the most vibrant holiday resorts Costa del Sol offers, located just 20 minutes from Malaga airport. From its humble roots as a fishing village it's grown into a bustling tourist resort as visitors flock to enjoy seven kilometre of beaches, energetic nightlife, sunshine, golf and extensive shopping.

With 300 days of sunshine a year and average summer temperatures topping 30°C, this Andalusian town is the ideal place for an easy vacation.
Torrox
Torrox is a quiet, beautiful location away from the energy of nearby Torremolinos and Marbella. The city is divided into two sections. In Torrox Pueblo you'll find tapas bars, spas and culture among historic winding streets, while Torrox Costa's coastal area has warm, welcoming sands. You'll find small complexes and villas here as opposed to high-rise All Inclusive Costa del Sol hotels, which gives the area a more authentic Spanish feel.
Torremolinos
Once a haunt of Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra, Torremolinos has developed from a sleepy fishing village to a popular hotspot for holidays to Costa del Sol. The resort has six clean, sandy beaches along its seven-kilometre coastline, traditional fresh fish bars amidst shopping centre boutiques, a range of activities - from waterparks to botanical gardens - and lively nightlife during peak months.
Marbella
Yachts, Ferraris, designer clothes and big bar bills – for many people this is what comes to mind when they think of Marbella. While Marbella is still a hangout for the rich and famous, holidays here are becoming increasingly affordable and it's now a popular destination for those seeking late holiday deals to Costa del Sol. People flock to Marbella for its fabulous beaches, incredible food, beautiful scenery and, of course, the exclusive clubs that you'll find around the marina.
San Pedro
San Pedro is just 10 kilometres away from the glitz of Marbella, right next to buzzing Puerto Banus and close to the attractive town of Estepona. On top of this, it's also only a 30-minute drive away from the dramatic natural beauty of the Serrania de Ronda mountain range. It is a fantastic location for holidays to Costa del Sol, especially for those who like short road trips.
Puerto Banus
Puerto Banus has a reputation for luxury Costa del Sol vacations. Celebrities are known to frequent this beautiful slice of Spain, so don't be shocked if you see a familiar face from the telly. One of the most famous sights of Puerto Banus is its impressive display of yachts and boats on the marina, often with the owner's Ferrari, Rolls-Royce or Aston Martin parked nearby. Puerto Banus is a high class, opulent destination for holidays to Costa del Sol.
Nerja
With 300 sunny days a year and 16 kilometres of coastline, Nerja is perfect for anyone looking to relax on their Costa del Sol vacation. This rings especially true when you discover that it's all in addition to golden sand, good food, beautiful scenery and fun activities. This Spanish holiday destination is home to some of the best All Inclusive hotels in Costa del Sol, alongside hundreds of restaurants, an exciting nightlife scene and plenty of charm and interesting history.
Location
Top-notch resorts
For many people taking holidays to Costa del Sol, Malaga will be their gateway due to its convenient airport location. However, the impressive city – which is the second biggest in Andalusia – should not be dismissed as a mere stepping stone to the beach, with many of sights and attractions in its own right. Art lovers will adore the Picasso and contemporary art museums, while the Roman theatre, Gothic-Baroque cathedral and the awe-inspiring Moorish fortress of Alcazaba are great places to explore the city’s enthralling history.
Elsewhere along the coast, Marbella represents the most popular and classiest of resort towns – and the most expensive. As well as its obvious beachside attractions, fantastic restaurants, picturesque marina and top-of-the-range accommodation, Marbella is also sheltered by a stunning backdrop of the Sierra Blanca mountain range. It even offers its own quaint insight into the past through its picture-postcard old town.
Meanwhile, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Benalmadena are also thriving resort towns within easy reach of the airport and at a perfect location right on the beach.
Unbeatable beaches
Of course, the Costa del Sol has lots of opportunities to top up your tan, with many pristine beaches studding its glittering coastline. With more than 320 days of sunshine a year, you’ll be well placed to take in some of those rays whenever you visit, and with almost 20 Blue Flag beaches in the area and countless more offering very high levels of quality and cleanliness, you’ll want to explore them all.
If you feel like getting active, watersports are a popular pastime here, as are snorkelling and scuba-diving – if you’re really lucky, you might even spot some whales and dolphins!
Quality leisure time
Since the tourism boom in the 1950s All Inclusive Costa del Sol holidays have continued to grow in popularity, and the resort has had time to build up an impressive array of leisure amenities and facilities. Examples of other fun-filled attractions on the coast include theme parks, waterparks, safari parks and go-karting tracks, which are ideal for family holidays. Those in search of a more relaxed break can take a walk through any one of the beautiful public gardens and nature reserves that dot the coastline.
The recent arrival of several spas and saunas make the region a great destination if you want to pamper yourself silly too.
Meanwhile, golf enthusiasts might think they’ve died and gone to heaven. The coast is positively teeming with courses (more than 70 in total), which cater to all abilities and budgets, all the way up to the world-class Valderrama course in Sotogrande, home of the annual Volvo Masters.
Andalusian dining at its finest
Wherever you go along the Andalusian coast you’ll be treated to a feast and Costa del Sol is no different. Its seafront location means it has a focus on fish and fruits of the sea, the majority of which are as fresh as possible, sourced locally and cooked to absolute perfection.
The region’s diverse heritage – which has played host to Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs over the years – is reflected in its cuisine. Although you’ll find tapas and other traditional Spanish dishes still dominate the menu, there’s plenty of room for variety. Whether it’s a hearty beef stew or a deliciously seasoned seafood platter, you can expect your meal to come packed with plenty of character.
Whilst you’re sure to find great food at the All Inclusive hotels Costa del Sol has to offer, it’s well worth stepping out to explore authentic local cuisine as well.
24-hour party people
The Costa del Sol was once a favourite for British holidaymakers looking to paint the town red. And although the coast has much more to offer than hedonistic pleasures, nightlife is still a big part of any holiday along the coast.
Late holiday deals to Costa del Sol can still place you at the heart of the action, if that’s what you’re after. From the crowded bistros and bars of Malaga and Torremolinos to the all-night clubs in Benalmadena’s Puerto Marina and Puerto Banus, revellers can dance the night away and do it all over again tomorrow. Don’t forget to try the local sangria!
