Fuengirola Holidays

Fuengirola boasts over seven kilometres of pristine sandy beaches, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. Playa de los Boliches and Playa de Fuengirola are two of the most popular beaches, offering golden sands, clear waters, and a range of beachfront bars and restaurants. Relax under the Mediterranean sun, take a refreshing dip in the sea, or try your hand at paddleboarding or jet skiing. As the sun sets, Fuengirola comes alive with a vibrant nightlife scene. Whether you prefer a laid-back beach bar, a lively pub, or a chic nightclub, there’s something for everyone. The Plaza de los Chinorros is a popular spot for evening drinks, offering a variety of bars and terraces where you can enjoy a cocktail and watch the world go by. For a more energetic night out, head to the area around Calle de la Cruz, known for its buzzing bars and clubs.

Fuengirola’s marina is a bustling hub of activity, filled with luxury yachts, charming shops, and lively waterfront bars. A starting point for various boat trips, including dolphin-watching excursions and fishing charters; take a stroll along the promenade, book a seafaring adventure or simply sit back and watch the world go by. Nearby, Fuengirola’s Old Town, with its narrow streets and whitewashed buildings, is the perfect place to soak up the local culture. Visit the Plaza de la Constitución, the heart of the Old Town, where you’ll find a beautiful church and a plethora of cafes and shops. Don’t miss the Mercado Municipal, a traditional market where you can sample local produce, cheeses, and cured meats. Sohail Castle is another must-visit for history buffs. This 10th-century fortress offers stunning panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding area. Throughout the year, the castle hosts various cultural events and concerts, adding to its allure. 

For a family-friendly adventure, visit the Bioparc Fuengirola, an innovative zoo that focuses on conservation and natural habitats. Unlike traditional zoos, Bioparc Fuengirola immerses visitors in lush, recreated environments where animals roam freely. From lemurs and tigers to exotic birds and reptiles, the park is home to a wide variety of species. Fuengirola’s prime location makes it an excellent base for exploring the wider Costa del Sol. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the glamorous town of Marbella, the picturesque village of Mijas, and the vibrant city of Málaga. Each offers its own unique charm and attractions. 

Fuengirola is a food lover's paradise, offering a wide range of dining options. From traditional Spanish tapas to fresh seafood, the town’s restaurants are sure to delight. Try local specialities like espetos (grilled sardines) at a beachfront chiringuito, or indulge in a paella brimming with fresh shellfish. Pair your meal with a glass of Spanish wine or a refreshing sangria. Of course, there are plenty of familiar international dishes as well to keep the little ones fuelled for more fun in the sun.
