Three places in one — a marina, a beach strip and a white village up the hill.
Benalmádena is really three places stacked up the hillside, and which one you pick changes the holiday completely. Puerto Marina sits at the bottom with the boats and the late restaurants. Arroyo de la Miel, a little inland, is where the town actually lives — the market, the station, the ordinary bars. And Benalmádena Pueblo sits above both of them, whitewashed and quiet, with the coast laid out below.
Benalmádena sits on the Cercanías C1 line, which runs from Málaga Centro to Fuengirola via the airport roughly every twenty minutes. Arroyo de la Miel, Torremuelle and Carvajal all have stops. From the airport it is around twenty minutes, which is why a good number of our guests here never hire a car at all.
