If you are planning a family getaway to the Costa del Sol, Benalmadena is one of those ideal places you will always remember. A municipality that has already charmed more than 7,000 Britons, who have chosen it as a place of residence. Located just 12 ½ miles from Malaga, Benalmadena offers a multitude of activities throughout the year to enjoy an unforgettable trip. Here we highlight some for you!
Fun all year round
Besides its well-known beaches, Benalmadena offers leisure activities throughout the year and one of the most complete offers on the Costa del Sol.
In winter, a safe bet is the Municipal Ice Club, which offers a unique concept in Andalusia. In this centre you will enjoy an ice rink and 75,347 square feet of facilities designed to provide you with a unique experience every day of the year.
One of the great claims of this municipality is the emblematic Tivoli World amusement park, where you can enjoy fun shows and rides among fountains, squares and gardens.
For lovers of the animal world, we recommend the dolphinarium Selwo Marina or the interactive aquarium Sea Life, where you can learn curiosities and secrets from the marine world.
Another option is the Butterfly Park of Benalmadena, a spectacular Thai temple with waterfalls and flowers with more than 1,500 butterflies from all over the world. We highly recommend you visit this exotic place.
If you are into outdoor activities and nature, we recommend a tour on the Teleferico, a cable car that will take you to the top of Mount Calamorro in just 15 minutes. With one of the best panoramas of the Costa del Sol, the Teleferico also offers hiking routes with magnificent viewpoints.
Of course, you can not leave Benalmadena without visiting its incredible Marina, where a good atmosphere is ensured every day of the year. With a spectacular architectural design, this port has a great offer of establishments and innumerable sports and leisure events.
Most of these leisure centres in Benalmadena remain open 365 days a year, so you will have no problem enjoying them at any time.
