Its location is also one of the strongest points of the Hotel Puerto Marina, since the resort is located on the Avenida del Puerto Deportivo, next to the marina and the local beaches. To sunbathe, swim and relax in Benálmadena, there are 13 different beaches waiting for you! There is something for everyone, so if you like it loud and lively or on the contrary, rather quiet and family orientated, Benalmadena has so much to offer!. As well as the attractions at the theme park Tivoli World, you can visit the Sea Life Aquarium, which is located a 5-minute walk from the hotel, showing more than 2000 different marine species in several aquariums. You should also visit the Parque de la Paloma, in which countless birds and water birds and rabbits roam freely. Finally Puerto Marina, is one of the most famous marinas on the Costa del Sol, with a wide range of shops and entertainment. In addition, you must pay a visit to the local restaurants, which we have already presented in this blog, and submerge yourself in the culinary world of Andalusia.
Although Benalmadena Costa, where the hotel is located, is a very developed tourist area in the Costa del Sol, the traditional and original Andalusia has not disappeared. On the contrary, Benalmadena Pueblo, where time seems to have stopped, can be reached with several bus routes (M 112 or M 126) at about 7 km to the West. There, one must wander through the picturesque streets, enjoy the smell of orange trees, look at the whitewashed houses and take a seat on one of the traditional bars and restaurants with a glass of wine or beer and a tapa.

In Benalmadena Pueblo there is much to discover! First you should visit the romantic Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, which was built in the 17th century and is located close to the Plaza de España. From there, you can reach the well known Castle Colomares in about 10 minutes. It was built between 1987 and 1994 to commemorate the conquest of America by Cristopher Columbus and can be described almost as a symbol of Spanish history. It is a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic, but with Moorish elements that form a unique symbiosis. Another 20 minutes walk and we are in the Stupa in Benalmádena, which with its 33 meters above sea level, is the highest Buddhist Stupa in Europe. Next door is the butterfly garden of Benalmádena (open daily from 10:00 to 18:00), where you can admire more than 1500 different species of butterflies, caterpillars and tropical plants.
As you can see, you have found not only a fantastic and fully equipped accommodation at the Hotel Puerto Marina, but also the ideal starting point to discover the beauties of the Andalusian Costa del Sol.
