So that you can enjoy their facilities and comfort, the chain has put together a calendar of “días dorados” (golden days) for 2017, with discounts for people over 55.
Health and wellbeing
The Costa del Sol is an ideal place to relax, but also to revitalize the body and mind. We suggest a tour which takes in the Hammam Al Andalus, Estepona’s thalassotherapy centres and Marbella’s select spas. And there are few things as pleasurable as enjoying a thermal circuit beside the Mediterranean Sea.
Moving to inland Malaga, in the region of the Sierra de las Nieves and Guadalteba, the Tolox spa and the Carratraca Thermas await you. Its springs have been popular since time immemorial for the healing properties of its waters. But there’s something more: its facilities are surrounded by fabulous scenery.
The Costa del Sol’s renowned medical centres are also famous and prestigious in the field of health care. This is true of the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic and the Molding Clinic in Marbella, known for their innovative aesthetic treatments, advanced therapies and their state-of-the-art technology to improve your body’s wellbeing.
50 is the new 40
But not all the activities have to be so relaxing and calming, do they? Because the Costa del Sol transmits a special energy to all who visit, including those over 50! We recommend the website Cincuentopía, where you can find whatever experience you’re looking for, some of which are very unusual and exciting.
Enjoy outdoor activities, nature, Malaga’s culture and gastronomy; enjoy life on the Costa del Sol to the full.
