This Sunday 7th June 2026, Benalmádena will celebrate Corpus Christi, a gorgeous festivity full of colour and amazing aromas thanks to a spectacular carpet of flowers laid on the streets by the villagers.
This beautiful festivity is celebrated in many Andalusian villages sixty days after Easter Sunday; however, Benalmadena Pueblo’s rendition is now regarded as one of the most beautiful in the province, attracting many visitors.
Although we enjoy approximately 320 days of sunshine a year here in Benalmadena, there are those odd days when the heavens open and you have to make use of the dreaded umbrella!
On these rare rainy days, we often get guests asking for tips and ideas on what to do on a wet day. Thankfully, Benalmadena is not all about sun, sea and beaches; there are plenty of interesting places to visit and things to do…Here’s a list of 12 ideas to keep you busy in Benalmadena (and the surrounding area) when it rains.
#1: Visit the Marina
Jump on the bus (nº110 or 120) or grab a taxi (Both stop just outside the hotel) and head down to the Marina. You’ll find lots of great restaurants to enjoy a lovely lunch, and can also visit the popular Sea Life Aquarium with its fascinating range of sea creatures, including sharks, stingrays and tropical fish. A must if you have kids! (more…)
If you’re staying with us at Sunset Beach Club this weekend and looking for something fun, colourful, and delicious to do, you’re in luck! Benalmádena is celebrating the 1st International Festival of Cultures, a brand‑new event that promises to take you on a trip around the world, without ever leaving the Costa del Sol.
If you’re planning a holiday in Benalmadena and are looking for fun ideas to keep the kids happy, this post is going to come in handy.
We’ve put together a list of – what we consider to be – the best things to do with kids in Benalmádena. Whilst most of the attractions and activities recommended here are located in Benalmadena, there are a couple (Aqualand and Bioparc) which are in neighbouring towns but which need to be included on this list as they’re some of our favourites!
This week sees the opening of Fun Street Park Málaga—the largest inflatable park in the world. This new venue promises visitors of all ages hours of endless fun.
What Is Fun Street Park Málaga?
Fun Street Park Málaga is a huge 5,000 m² space dedicated entirely to active play: giant inflatable castles, jumping zones, obstacle courses, American-style tracks, and even a climbing wall area with a zipline and trampolines.
Located in Málaga Fórum, within the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate, the new park is about a 25‑minute drive from Sunset Beach Club.
Although not the high season here in Benalmadena, Christmas time offers lots of interesting things to keep the whole family entertained.
Our guests often ask us for recommendations on things to do at this time of year so we’ve decided to put together this list which includes activities and specific places you can visit during the holidays. Although the title of this post specifically states Benalmadena, you’ll find that our list wanders a little further down the Coast; that being said, all of these places are well connected by public transport.
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol this Christmas, I’m sure you’ll find something of interest on the list. Here goes…
