Lets see why holiday in Mijas Costa is so good!

Mijas Costa is a modern resort, much of which has been constructed in the last twenty years. What it’s lacking in culture and historical buildings, it more than makes up in an infrastructure designed to cater for holidaymakers.

The popular resort of Calahonda is situated around halfway between Marbella and Fuengirola. It’s a very popular resort for both British holidaymakers and expat residents. The beach here is a mix of sand and pebbles. The sprawling resort starts beachside and reaches across the highway and up into the rolling hills behind. Just along from Calahonda, towards Marbella, you can walk to the pretty Cabopino beach and harbour, with its popular beach restaurants, bars and cafes. Heading towards Fuengirola, you come to Calypso, a small urbanisation of villas and apartments. There is a little supermarket, bars and restaurants and a sunday market, held in the little roadside commercial centre.

The next resort is that of Riviera del Sol-Miraflores. Two urbanisations practically rolled into one. Miraflores is home to the Miraflores Golf and Bowling Club.

Holidays in Benahavis

Benahavís is at the heart of the Costa del Sol and receives more than 300 days of sunshine per year. A classic slice of Spain that’s accessible and welcoming? Benahavís is just 7km from Puerto Banús, less than an hour’s drive from Málaga airport. It has a small population of British, Irish and Scandinavian expats that have integrated well. A destination that is both beautiful and peaceful? The road to Benahavis winds between sheer cliff face and clear drop down to the crisp and cool waters of the Guadalmina River.

Holidays in Benahavis – a gastronomic pleasure

The surroundings are evidently inspirational, for Benahavís is home to a thriving community of artisans. In addition to the art galleries and craft shops, Benahavís boasts a brilliant portfolio of restaurants. From authentic pizzerias to classy haute cuisine establishments, robust grillhouses and the ubiquitous tapas tavernas. Dining out in Benahavís is a gastronomic pleasure. It is matched only by the visceral thrill of enjoying an al fresco meal under a star-studded sky in one of Europe’s most alluring of natural patios.

There are three distinct areas of Benahavís, each featuring its own charm and character. The newer outskirts contain a number of modern apartment complexes, sports facilities, hotels and parkland; this is where an increasing number of expats are moving into and making the most of the swift access to the coast. In the heart of town is the tourist trap area – well, not so much a trap as a magnet – where most of the bars, restaurants, jewellers and galleries are to be found. The third area of the town is the old residential area, where the local Spaniards live among the undulating terrain and twisting streets; an area characterised by beautifully kept villas and townhouses, charming gardens and gorgeous views.

Go ahead and discover the holiday properties available in Benahavis!

Active holidays in Benahavis

When there’s so much to see, so much can be missed. Driving – such a joy along the twisting mountain roads that typify 95% of inland Costa del Sol – should be shunned when in and around Benahavís. While going by foot through the steep, tight streets of the center of town is just good common sense, there’s a more spectacular reason to forego the wheels as you leave Benahavís and head towards the coast.

A mere 200 metres along the main road is an opening. Barely marked and steeply descending, one of the village’s hidden treasures lies some 30 metres below. Huge boulders, remnants from some ancient landslide or earthquake, lie strewn along the river bed at the foot of the Guadalmina River valley. Some boulders act as a dam, creating deep and crystal clear plunge pools, while others take the form of organic diving boards. So, don your swimsuit, leave those with a fear of heights guarding the towels on the grassy verge, and literally dive into the refreshing waters below. Such a simple pleasure, enjoyed by all, at absolutely no cost. It is a great way to wake up in the morning, wind down after school or work, or simply get a great all-over tan.

Having banished the sedate image of holidays in Benahavis with that one giant leap into the abyss, the surprises just keep on coming. Hikers will enjoy the 360-degree opportunities to traipse up or down; golfers will just love the four surrounding courses (including the Monte Mayor Golf Club) and kids can run free at the Amanhavís Hotel’s sports club or the nearby Selwo Safari Park.

golf benahavis — Golf courses in Benahavis

Night activities

As something of an open-air museum, back garden and dining room rolled into one, Benahavís at dusk and through the evening offers untold pleasures. The absence of a nightclub or loud bar ensures the atmosphere remains camped in the ‘contented’ sector. There residents and tourists of all ages instead turn their attentions to fine wine, great food and good company. Besides, who needs music when the orchestral clicking of thousands of hillside crickets creates an operatic backdrop to each evening?

Check out the holiday properties we have available in Benahavis!

Competing with the crickets is the intermittent clinking of cutlery and glass, as hundreds of al fresco diners polish off their meals bathed in candle glow and suffused with a sense of relaxed well being. The laughter of children – energized by their parents’ relaxed mood and lax bedtime curfews. It all adds to the atmosphere, as professional waiters serve, weave, chat and joke with their clientele. It’s a classic scene of continental living. Who wouldn’t want to be part of it on your holidays in Benahavis?

Benahavis is one of those lovely towns in Spain that both visitors and residents find irresistible. And that’s no surprise: the town has amazing food. You can find the highest concentration of great restaurants here. These restaurants attract thousands of people, both visitors and residents.

Even though holidays in Benahavis is very popular, it remains rather unspoiled. The narrow streets, the lovely flowers, and the gorgeous white buildings breathe that great atmosphere that the area is known for. This is why purchasing a Benahavis property would be a very good idea. It would not only allow you to enjoy the town, but it would also make for a great investment.
