Torremolinos is one of the original Costa del Sol resorts and still a firm favourite with UK holidaymakers. Long sandy beaches, a buzzing seafront and excellent value keep families and couples coming back for sun and an easy good time.

It is well set up for British visitors, with a short transfer from Malaga, plenty of food options and a friendly, lively atmosphere that suits a classic Spanish beach week.

Where to stay in Torremolinos

The 4-star Puente Real is a beachfront hotel in Torremolinos, handy for direct access to the sand. The 4-star Occidental Torremolinos Playa sits on the beach in the Los Alamos area, while the 4-star Hotel Pez Espada offers a beachfront stay with direct access to La Carihuela beach. For an adults-focused break, the 4-star Hotel Fenix Torremolinos (adults only recommended) sits in the heart of town near the coast.

Getting there and when to go

Malaga airport is one of the best-connected in Spain, with year-round UK flights and a very short transfer to Torremolinos. Summers are hot and busy, while spring and autumn are warm and a little calmer, which many couples prefer.

Beaches and resorts

The resort has a long run of golden sandy beaches backed by a wide promenade. The famous La Carihuela area has a more traditional, fishing-village feel, while the main stretches are busier with sunbeds, cafes and watersports.

Food and things to do

The seafront is lined with chiringuitos serving grilled fish and tapas, alongside plenty of international menus. Days revolve around the beach, the promenade and the pool, with easy day trips and a lively evening scene for those who want it.

Who it suits

Torremolinos suits families wanting value and long beaches, couples after a sociable resort and anyone who likes a classic, lively Costa del Sol holiday.
