Benahavis Holidays

Tucked away in the rolling hills between Marbella’s glitz and Estepona’s charm, Benahavís is the Costa del Sol’s best-kept secret. This whitewashed Andalusian village serves up stunning views, gourmet delights, and a laid-back, luxurious vibe – all wrapped up in sun-drenched scenery.

Start your day by wandering the cobbled streets of this quaint pueblo, known for its art galleries, boutique shops, and spectacular mountain views. If you’re a golfer, you can get in the swing of things, at world-class courses like Los Arqueros Golf and La Quinta Golf & Country Club right on your doorstep. Fore!

But food is where Benahavís truly steals the show. Nicknamed the ‘Gastronomic Corner of the Costa del Sol’, this village is a feast for both your eyes and your taste buds. Picture sizzling grills, the aroma of fresh herbs wafting through the cobbled streets, and plates piled high with Mediterranean masterpieces, from succulent steaks that melt in your mouth to inventive twists on traditional Andalusian favourites. Just follow the delicious scents drifting from cosy kitchens – and whatever you do, save room for dessert. You’ll thank yourself later.

Work off your lunch, by grabbing your hiking boots and setting off on the Acequia del Guadalmina trail. This scenic path winds through lush greenery, offering jaw-dropping views of the surrounding hills and valleys. It’s perfect for a peaceful stroll, a heart-pumping hike, or simply soaking in the natural beauty of Andalusia.

As night falls, the village hums with a low-key, sophisticated nightlife that’s as charming as its cobbled streets. You’ll find an abundance of intimate bars with twinkling fairy lights and cosy terraces where the soft strum of Spanish guitar drifts through the warm night air.
