Without a doubt, towns and cities along Costa del Sol offer a wide variety of exclusive and unique venues allowing to enjoy this corner of paradise in the best possible way. Here are some options you can love on your own, with  family, as a couple or with friends.

Exclusive beach clubs

The best beach clubs on the Costa del Sol are in Marbella. They truly are temples of fun and relaxation, turning any day into a perfect one. A great variety of sites with different atmospheres, sparse along the coast in Marbella, all, having luxury and exclusivity as their motto. The best Beach Clubs are in Marbella East, you can find a selection here in our blog. For their elegance we highlight La Cabane, Don Carlos Beach Club or Beach Club Estrella del Mar. Fun is guaranteed at Nikki Beach, La Sala by the Beach or Ocean Beach Club.

Luxury restaurants

A mandatory activity while visiting  the enviable Costa del Sol would be  dining in one of its luxury restaurants. If you are lucky enough to already be living on the coast, you sure have more chances to make a list of all favourites by nationalities. A good point of reference is the Michelin Star restaurants. For better guidance, we created a selection in our blog, for both, award-winning restaurants and other interesting culinary options such as the venues in Puente Romano. Here is where you can savour the best oysters, valued by refined palates: Mediodía and Lobito de Mar for Marbella, and La Medusa and Marisquería Godoy in Málaga city.

First Class Golf courses

One of the first class activities on the Costa del Sol is golfing. The golf courses in this region are often one of the main pros when this area is chosen as living destination, even just for sightseeing. There are a great variety of exclusive and luxury clubs, especially in the so-called Golf Valley, which mainly comprises the Nueva Andalucía and Benahavís courses. In this area we find famous greens such as Los Naranjos, Aloha or Magna Marbella, Villa Padierna Golf Club or La Quinta Golf & Country Club, among many others.

Dream Spas & Beach Clubs

We offered in a previous blog a selection of the best Spas on the Costa del Sol.   and we can't miss the opportunity to highlight that, going to a Spa is one of the best first class activities you can practice in Malaga and surroundings. When it comes to enjoying the water,  outdoor rather than indoor,  we prepared a list with the most chic beach clubs on the coast.

Top brand shopping

An other fun activity when it comes to top luxury, is shopping. Puerto Banús and the exquisite shops of its Marina would certainly give free rein to our fashion craving. In addition, Banús itself is home to one of the most emblematic Corte Inglés department-store in Andalusia, as well as an other pleasant shopping centre, Marina Banús. In Marbella, La Cañada stands out as a multi-brand centre and in Fuengirola retail scene is represented by Miramar. In Malaga, without a doubt, the most eye-catching shopping quarter is the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet of top brands.

But there are also festivals and concerts, you can rent a boat for sailing, partecipate to a dolphin watch excursion; you can have fun family activities, enjoy mountain life, follow a routes to other villages in Andalusia...
