The resort is newer than Torremolinos and Fuengirola and therefore looks neat and modern.

The marina, Puerto Marina, of Benalmádena is an absolute must to visit. This port is built in the Moorish style and has 1,100 moorings with ships up to 6 meters long. On the promenade there are shops, bars and restaurants so you can stroll in the evening and admire beautiful ships. There are tours to book for a few euros, so you can sail through the port (approx. 30 minutes). Also, especially for children, feeding the big fish is a entertaining! From the harbour also boats leave for the open sea to spot dolphins, these often swim around!

Benalmádena Pueblo has mainly white houses and is also called the ‘white village’. It was founded in the eighth century by the Moors and is a beautiful and authentic Andalusian village. It is located about 2 kilometers higher inland and has a beautiful view on the coastline due to its elevated position. This village also has a cozy central square with orange trees and narrow streets with a cozy atmosphere. Especially in the evening it is a charming town with several restaurants and cafes, where it is wonderful to stay!
