Torremolinos: Plan Your 2027 Getaway

BLUESEA Al Andalus: gardens, a pool and La Carihuela beach just a stroll away

Imagine waking up in Torremolinos, in a quiet area surrounded by gardens and just a few minutes' walk from the beach: that's how days begin at BLUESEA Al Andalus.

After fuelling up at the buffet, the outdoor pool and gardens await for an unhurried day in the sun, with the bar close by for a cool drink while the little ones have fun at the kids' club.

And as evening falls, there's nothing like strolling to La Carihuela to taste local fried fish before heading back to your renovated, air-conditioned room for a good night's rest.

Few hotels in Torremolinos combine so much calm and green space with the beach this close. Book your Costa del Sol getaway and enjoy the sunshine at your own pace.

Torremolinos: your insider guide to the perfect holiday

Torremolinos is the birthplace of tourism on the Costa del Sol: lively, sunny and full of atmosphere. But knowing a few local tricks can save you time, money and endless walking.

• The lift trick: save your energy
  The town centre sits above the beach, and many visitors climb the endless San Miguel steps every day.

  • Insider tip: use the municipal lift connecting El Bajondillo beach with Plaza de la Nogalera. It costs just over €1 and is perfect after a long beach day.

• Where to eat the best “pescaíto” without overpaying
  La Carihuela is famous for fried fish, but beachfront restaurants are usually the priciest.

  • Our recommendation: head one or two streets away from the promenade. That’s where locals go for bigger portions, better prices and authentic flavour.

• The train: the smartest way to move around
  Forget taxis and parking stress. The Cercanías train (Line C-1) connects everything quickly and cheaply.

  • Airport to Torremolinos centre in just 10 minutes.
  • Málaga city centre in only 20 minutes, perfect for shopping, museums and evenings out.

• A peaceful escape: Molino de Inca
  Need a break from the beach? This hidden botanical garden filled with fountains and waterfalls is ideal for a relaxing stroll surrounded by greenery.

• Which beach should you choose?

  • El Bajondillo & La Carihuela: perfect for restaurants and shops nearby.
  • Los Álamos: trendy beach bars and a younger atmosphere.
  • Playamar: wider and quieter, ideal for long walks and more space.

• Shopping without the crowds
  Calle San Miguel is the main shopping street but can get very busy.

  • Local tip: take the train to Plaza Mayor, a huge open-air shopping centre just 2 stops away with shops, restaurants and air conditioning.

Torremolinos is much more than sun and beach, you just need to know the local secrets.

The Costa del Sol stretches along Andalusia's sunny southern coast, from Nerja in the east to Estepona in the west. With mild weather almost all year round, long golden beaches and whitewashed villages tucked into the hills, it's one of Spain's most popular holiday destinations, and for good reason.

It works brilliantly for families, with plenty to keep children busy, and for couples who want to mix beach days with culture, great food and a little bit of glamour.

Make sure you visit:

Start in Málaga, where the Moorish Alcazaba looks down over the old town, the cathedral and the Picasso Museum, all within an easy stroll of the port. From there, head west along the coast to Marbella, whose old town is a maze of white lanes and flower-filled squares.

Just above the coast, Mijas Pueblo is a lovely spot for an afternoon wander, with sweeping views over the Mediterranean. In the evening, take a walk around Puerto Banús to see the superyachts and designer boutiques.

Beaches we think you'll like:

In the city, La Malagueta is lively and well equipped, perfect if you want the beach and the old town in the same day. Further west, Cabopino in Marbella has natural dunes and a more relaxed feel.

Families love the long, sandy beaches of Fuengirola, with calm water and plenty of facilities along the promenade. And to the east, Burriana in Nerja is a favourite for water sports and seafood lunches by the sea.

Family-friendly activities:

A day at Bioparc Fuengirola, a zoo designed to recreate natural habitats, is a hit with children of all ages. For a safari-style experience, Selwo Aventura near Estepona lets you see animals roaming in wide open spaces.

On hot days, the slides and pools at Aqualand Torremolinos are hard to beat. Or simply hire bikes and ride along the seafront promenades, stopping for an ice cream along the way.

Local delicacies you have to try:

Food here is all about the sea. Order espetos de sardinas, sardines skewered and grilled over an open fire in old boats on the sand, at a beach bar at lunchtime. Follow them with a plate of pescaíto frito, lightly fried fish, and a glass of something cold.

On warm evenings, a bowl of ajoblanco or gazpacho is wonderfully refreshing. And for breakfast, do as the locals do and dip churros in thick hot chocolate.

Make the most of your visit:

The Costa del Sol is a great base for exploring Andalusia. These are our favourite trips from Málaga:

• Nerja (50 minutes): spectacular caves and the famous Balcón de Europa.
• Caminito del Rey (1 hour): a breathtaking walkway clinging to the walls of a gorge.
• Ronda (1 hour 30 minutes): a clifftop town split by a dramatic gorge and its iconic bridge.
• Granada (1 hour 30 minutes): home to the unforgettable Alhambra.
