A destination for your next occasion: Costa del Sol events

Costa del Sol has positioned itself as a top destination in Europe for conferences, meetings and professional events. The reason? Because it has a slew of first-class venues, excellent transportation options (by air, land and sea), good weather all year long and plenty of accommodations for all tastes and interests. No matter what kind of event you have in mind, Costa del Sol can make it happen. 

Costa del Sol events: quality is guaranteed 

Costa del Sol has five conference venues designed to meet the needs of any large-scale event, conference, exhibition or fair. In the capital of Malaga, it’s hard to miss Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga (FYCMA), which has 60,000 square metres of event space, top-of-the-line functionality and a design scheme that fuses the Andalusian tradition with out-of-the-box architecture.

Head to western Costa del Sol and you’ll find the Costa del Sol Conference Center (Torremolinos), which has 14 rooms that can accommodate anywhere from 25 to 1000 people. Another option, Palacio de Ferias de Marbella, sits between Marbella’s Golden Mile and historic city centre and has an elegant auditorium that can seat up to 1,500 people. At the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos de Estepona, event planners can host indoor and outdoor functions in the venue's 21,000 square-metre interior or its beautiful 15,000 square-metre garden. 

Like those destinations, the interior of the province is also filled with extraordinary venues for large-scale events. In Ronda, the Palacio de Congresos de Ronda is unlike any other! This charming venue for Costa del Sol events is named for the historic building it occupies, offers impressive views of El Tajo de Ronda and can hold up to 200 people. In addition to these venues, Costa del Sol is home to a variety of unique spaces (like farms and estates!) where event organizers can host presentations or social occasions in a special setting.

Costa del Sol events: hotels and leisure 

The province of Malaga is packed with four- and five-star hotels that frequently host business and event travellers. And when these travellers come to Costa del Sol, they have so much to do, see and explore! With its beautiful views and near-perfect weather all year long, the province of Malaga invites guests to visit over 30 museums, try delicious restaurants (six of which are Michelin-starred!), go to plenty of parks and natural spaces, hang out at different beaches and exclusive beach clubs, play golf at more than 70 golf courses and clubs or stroll along fabulous marinas like Puerto Marina (Benalmádena) or Puerto Banús (Marbella). As you can see, there are plenty of ways for visitors to spend their free time in an irresistible destination like Costa del Sol.
