Dreaming of sun-drenched holidays and sandy beaches?

The Costa del Sol enjoys an idyllic location along Spain's southern coast. It is nestled beside the Mediterranean Sea, enjoys up to 3,000 hours of sun every year and stretches for more than 152 kilometres. Getting around the area is easy by car, bus or train. Discover spectacular scenery and plenty of Blue Flag beaches that feature pristine waters that make this a true year-round destination for beach-goers. Holiday rentals and lettings in Fuengirola are one of the best options you can choose from on Holidu. This iconic resort area in the province of Málaga has a history that dates to ancient times. It features amazing historic sites that include a Moorish Castle. It is also home to more than 8 kilometres of beaches and is great for couples, friends and families alike.

Looking for an all-in-one destination?

Costa del Sol truly is a travel destination like no other. It certainly offers incredible beaches but there is so much more to see and do. Explore the coastline when you book a holiday apartment in Benalmadena. It is a great base for excursions to unforgettable locations like Málaga, Cadiz, Marbella and Nerja.

Immerse yourself in fascinating local traditions by trying dishes that are typically served in the area's bars, taverns and restaurants. One of the many pleasures of the Costa del Sol holidays is having a drink and some tapas at the "chiringuitos" that you will find along the beach.

Explore the great outdoors or spend some time learning about local culture and history when you visit the cities and villages of the Costa del Sol. Choose a San Pedro Alcantara holiday rental and discover its 3rd century Las Bovedas Roman baths and the iconic Paleochristian Basilica. Regardless of what you prefer to do when on holiday, this region of Spain has you covered.

1. White Villages

The White Villages are one of our top recommendations for a day trip adventure in the Costa del Sol. We suggest hiring a car to explore the countryside. Step back into Andalusia's past by visiting the picturesque Pueblos Blancos. They include Ronda, Estepona, Mijas, Casares and Antequera. You will discover tightly packed old houses, narrow, cobbled streets and donkey taxis. These are the hallmarks of the region's rural way of life in these communities that have retained much of their historic tradition.

2. Marbella and Puerto Banús

Holidu offers an extensive range of properties that are ideal for exploring the Costa del Sol's most luxurious areas. Choose holiday fincas in Marbella or Puerto Banús lettings and discover an area that is closely associated with exclusivity, prestige and luxury tourism. Puerto Banús itself is situated in southwest Marbella and is home to a marina with a magical atmosphere. Take a stroll and admire the fabulous boats that are moored there. You can also shop till you drop at any of the local department stores that offer a range of designer boutiques. When nighttime rolls in, you can dress to impress and then hit the town for an evening spent at the top nightclubs. We also suggest enjoying a drink at Pangea. It is one of Europe's best sky bars.

3. Nerja Caves

The iconic Nerja Caves are another popular Costa del Sol tourist activity. They were discovered by 5 friends who were looking for bats. The magnificent caves are home to the largest stalagmites in the world and are sure to delight your senses. They are accessed via a staircase and stretch out for nearly 5 kilometres. One of the 3 main chambers forms a natural amphitheatre where concerts are regularly held. There are also fascinating paintings of seals located in the caves that are more than 42,000 years old. We suggest booking nearby Torrox Costa holiday lettings for convenient access to this natural wonder of the world.

4. Golf

"Costa del Golf" is a common nickname for this iconic region of Spain. This is because it is home to more than 70 golf courses. These courses are set next to the Mediterranean Sea and offer spectacular views. If you are new to the sport, you might take some practice swings at one of the local pitch and putts. Some of the most renowned courses across the Costa del Sol include Valderrama Golf Club, La Reserva Golf Club, Real Club de Golf Sotogrande and Finca Cortesin.

5. Live the Semana Santa as a local

The Semana Santa, or Holy Week is one of the most heartfelt and unforgettable celebrations held each year in Málaga. It takes place during the final week of Lent. From Palm Sunday to Easter, local brotherhoods organise grand processions that are a must-see during your holiday.
