Getting to Benalmadena from the airport

Busses at the airport: There is an option to get to Benalmadena from the airport by bus, although the bus picks up passengers along the road Avenida Velazquez which is a potential inconvenience or discomfort due to the distance between arrivals at Terminal 3 and the bus stop.
Malaga Train Station: At Malaga airport next to the Terminal 3 is located the Renfe suburban train station. Taking the suburban train, it takes you about 20 minutes to get to Arroyo de la Miel (Benalmadena); there are as well stops further ahead in Torremuelle and Carvajal, belonging to the municipality of Benalmadena.
Taxis: The taxis always waiting outside the airport can take you to your hotel in Benalmadena if necessary; you don´t have to depend on where you get off the train and walk to your accommodation; with Malaga taxis you arrive directly at your chosen destination.
Transfers from Malaga airport: All the advantages of conventional taxis, plus many benefits that make it the best means of transport. At a similar price like taxis but with more professional services, without waiting queues, always knowing the cost of your trip, travelling in a first class vehicle and with multilingual drivers.

Leisure and entertainment in Benalmadena

“The large area comprising the municipality includes 3 distinct areas: Benalmadena Pueblo with a characteristic style of the interior towns of Malaga and Mijas, Antequera and Ronda, whose main attraction and charm is to maintain intact the facades of its low white houses that offer an antique look that stand out among current modern cities. Arroyo de la Miel is the centric area of Benalmadena with a much more modern appearance. Benalmadena Costa is the most touristic part of the municipality with its marina, hotels and beaches.”

Beaches and coves of Benalmadena Costa

One of the best areas of beaches on the western Costa del Sol for its large coastal areas, although mainly there are outstanding the small coves in the western portion of Benalmadena. These coves break the monotony of long sandy plains changing into rocky areas and cliffs, some of them extending into the sea and bathed by the Mediterranean Sea. We especially like the Calas de Las Yucas.

Transport to Malaga Beaches

Other recommended beaches are Malapesquera which is located next to the marina of Benalmadena and is considered the largest beach in Benalmadena; Beach of Castle Bil Bil, also the beach of Arroyo Hondo next to Torrequebrada casino, the beach of Arroyo de la Miel, Carvajal beach. We recommend due to its shape and being less frequented the beaches of La Perla or La Morera; also the beach of Santa Ana, among many others.

Attractions in Benalmadena

“Benalmadena has many proposals for the enjoyment of your holiday, among which we would like to highlight the following:”

Image of the cable car

Cable Car: Unique in Malaga, this cable car crosses part of the town to climb the mountain to an altitude of 800 meters and from where you can overlook the whole coast from a superb space.
The famous Tivoli World, open since 1972, provides nonstop fun and entertainment to its visitors. Among its attractions there is a drop tower, carts, big wheel, roller coasters; it also has good shows and is always renewing its offer with new proposals and ideas. The perfect place to spend a nice day with the family and have plenty of fun.
Another great alternative to leisure are the golf courses Torrequebrada and Benalmadena Golf, two great golf areas which, although might not rise to the standards of golf courses of places like Marbella or Estepona, present a great opportunity to practice this sport without leaving the resort where you are staying. We recommend visiting our transfers for golf days in Malaga.
Butterfly Park and Buddhist temple: They are situated next to each other in the part of Benalmadena Pueblo. The Butterfly Park boasts a living catalogue of Butterflies and caterpillars and a very interesting collection of exotic plants. The Buddhist Temple breaks the stereotypes of attractions on the Costa del Sol and offers a very different image besides the spiritual aspect and furthermore provides beautiful views from its vantage point.
Colomares Castle: Located halfway between the town of Benalmadena and the coast, this is a recent monument (built from 1987-1994) in honour of Christopher Columbus in the discovery of America.
Ice Rink: For several years the town has its own ice rink that brings fun to the initiated and skating enthusiasts on this sliding surface.
Hiking is present in the mountains of Benalmadena with varied routes that will please fans of this healthy activity.

Port of Benalmadena

The Benalmadena Marina is one of the most beautiful found on the Costa del Sol, with a structure and facilities few in Malaga can catch up with; thanks in part to its two artificial islands in the interior where have been created residential areas and the non-existent parking area leaves space for a peculiar mooring area.

Puerto Marina has a great deal on all kinds of restaurants, snack bars, clothing and gifts shops, ice cream parlours, in an idyllic, peaceful and relaxing place, which changes dramatically with nightfall and the night life taking place in nightclubs and bars during the summer and weekends throughout the year.
