Benalmadena Holidays

Just eleven miles from Malaga lies the charming resort of Benalmadena, at the foot of the breathtaking Sierra de Mejis mountains range. Offering an ideal combination of excitement, relaxation in beautiful surroundings, if you're considering a Spain holiday you'll be spoilt for choice in Benalmadena.

Just two and a half hours by plane from most UK airports and bathed in over three hundred and twenty days of sunshine a year, Benalmadena enjoys the same gorgeous climate and relaxed Mediterranean vibe as other resorts on the Costa del Sol, but also offers fine dining, excellent cuisine and a multitude of attractions in a varied landscape with its crystal-clear marinas, golden beaches and rugged mountains that few other destinations can offer.

Year round, Benalmadena enjoys a mild, humid climate with hot, dry summers that typically range from 26 to 32° Celsius from May until August. The water temperature rarely drops below the low twenties in the summer, making it the ideal climate to catch a few rays or enjoy the clarity of the warm, blue waters off the coast.
