Seek & Discover
One popular day trip goes to Ronda, an enchanting mountain town famed for its gaping gorge and bridge. The views are incredible. So is the lookout from Gibraltar Rock where you can see across the Med to Africa on a clear day. Our excursion to the fascinating British Overseas Territory takes in all the top sights, including its caves, with time for shopping. Those with a head for heights shouldn’t miss the tour to Caminito del Rey, a thrilling walkway that winds along a deep and stunning gorge. Our Guest Services Team can help you book a range of excursions.
Pure shores
The golden sand beaches are a huge draw of Costa del Sol holidays with the Andalucían coastline boasting some serious stunners. Wyndham Costa del Sol is right on the sun-baked shores with a sleepy sandy beach just a few minutes’ walk away and many of the region’s best Blue Flag beaches on the doorstep. Follow the coastal path by foot to Fuengirola’s bays or set off to discover the long stretches around Marbella. This is a dreamy spot with dunes and laid-back chiringuitos where you can soak up the sun and sea views in style. Feeling energetic? This coast is great for water sports too. Playa Malapesquera near Benalmadena is a good bet. You can learn to stand-up paddleboard and surf, hire pedalos and kayak. We can also organise a day of water sports.
A taste of tradition
Back on dry land, guests can enjoy discovering a vibrant part of Europe on their Spanish holidays. Andalucía fizzles with history, culture and traditions. Everything about this part of Spain is colourful from the delicious food to the old towns that drip with bright flowers. Tucked into the mountains just behind our Resort, Mijas is one of the region’s prettiest pueblos blanco (white towns) with amazing views of the coastline. These slow-paced mountain villages are a great spot for seeking out local life and dining out in the authentic tapas bars that dot their quiet, narrow streets. You may well come across a fiesta on your travels, these lively and often religious parties take place all around the region especially in summer. Marbella is a must-visit for its historic buildings and restaurants. While some of Spain’s most atmospheric cities – Malaga, Seville, Granada and Cadiz – are within easy reach of the Resort too.
A firm family favourite
The Costa del Sol is an ideal destination for families. When you’ve ticked off the beaches, Bioparc Fuengirola is a wonderful day out that offers a chance to meet all kinds of cute critters and learn about their habitats. For all the splashes without the pesky sand, AquaMijas is an awesome waterpark just down the road. Thrill-seekers will be in their element here too. Super-fun jet boats rides depart from Marbella to whiz around the coast. Older children will love horse riding, hiking and caving around the jagged mountain landscapes of the Costa del Sol’s hinterland. If you’d rather just take in the views, hop on the Teleférico Benalmadena, a cable car that climbs up Monte Calamorro. There are walking trails at the summit too or keen cyclists can take the downhill mountain bike trail back down to the coast.
Party on
You’ll feel a world away from everything once you’re settled by our pools, but if you’re ready for action when the sun sets, we’re close to the Costa del Sol’s lively hotspots. Fuengirola is our closest haunt, home to a laid-back mix of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It’s an easy taxi ride home too. Benalmadena and Torremolinos are two other fun-loving resorts just east along the coast with a host of bars and nightclubs to choose from. You’ll find beach clubs and some of the Costa del Sol’s best bars in Marbella, where you can party from dusk until dawn to world-class DJs. Puerto Banus is famed as a hangout for celebrities and super-yacht owners. Take a seat at one of the buzzy bars along the waterfront and soak it all in. Malaga too has some seriously cool cocktail bars and clubs, where you can party the night away with the locals.
Where to shop
Costa del Sol holidays aren’t just for beach babes and sun-seekers. Shoppers adore this part of Spain too. Don’t miss a wander around the winding streets and shady squares of Marbella’s old town. Fragrant with flowers and plazas filled with orange trees, the town is also lined with independent shops selling local designers and regional specialities along with well-known high street brands. While Puerto Banus is the place to indulge in high-end (or window) shopping, with a side of celebrity spotting. Another one of Andalucía’s most charming seaside towns is Estepona. Stroll around its historic heart and you’ll find some gorgeous boutiques where you can pick up special souvenirs to remember your Spanish holidays.
