The former fishing village of Fuengirola is situated between Torremolinos and Marbella and is fast becoming the Costa del Sol’s number one holiday hot spot. With flight times of approximately 3 hours and a short transfer time from Malaga airport you’ll be at your hotel in no time sipping on a sangria in the sunshine.

Fuengirola homes a massive 8 kilometres of sand, split into numerous beaches along the coast. When it comes to great value accommodation, you’ll be spoilt for choice as there are plenty of self catering apartments or all inclusive hotels available to suit all tastes and budgets. The nightlife offers something for everyone with plenty of lively bars, restaurants and traditional tapas eateries.

For those who want to explore there are plenty of places to visit during the day. Granada is a great day trip out and is located around 2 hours from Fuengirola. The picturesque town of Ronda is also worth adding to your list, which homes one of the oldest bullfighting rings in the world. For activities a little closer to home the marina at Puerto Banus is where the rich and famous hang out. You could also take a trip to the sealife centre in the nearby Benalmadena.
