Benalmádena
Three worlds in one municipality: the authentic white mountain village high above the coast, the lively Arroyo de la Miel and the coastal strip with the famous Puerto Marina. Discover why Benalmádena is so well loved.
Three Worlds in One Town
Benalmádena is unique on the Costa del Sol because it combines three very different living environments within one municipality. High on the mountain lies the white village with winding streets and breathtaking views. In the middle you will find Arroyo de la Miel, the modern centre with a train station and every amenity.
On the coast lies Benalmádena Costa with Puerto Marina — repeatedly voted the most beautiful marina in the world. The combination of beach, sea, mountain village and urban comfort makes this municipality one of the most versatile places to live in Southern Spain.
Three Zones, Three Lifestyles
From the authentic mountain village to the buzzing coast — choose the zone that suits your lifestyle.
Benalmádena Pueblo
The original white mountain village high above the coast. Winding streets, squares with fountains, traditional tapas bars and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. Here you live in authentic Andalusia — yet only 10 minutes from the beach.
Arroyo de la Miel
The modern, buzzing centre. Here you will find the train station, Tivoli park, Paloma Park, shopping streets, theatres and all daily amenities. The flat terrain makes it accessible and popular with permanent residents.
Benalmádena Costa
The coastal strip with the world-famous Puerto Marina — voted the best marina in the world. Beaches, restaurants, nightlife and the Sea Life aquarium. Lively in summer, calm in winter. Here you live with the sea as your back garden.
