Torremolinos Holidays 2021

With no less than four main beaches connected by a picturesque promenade, this is a sun lover’s paradise. Holidays in Torremolinos began in the 1960s. Since then, the former fishing village has transformed into an action-packed resort that’s always been a favourite among celebrities. As it’s just a short drive from Malaga, Torremolinos is a beach break destination that also comes with dazzling city highlights.

From its bohemian heyday to today’s live music scene, Torremolinos has earned its reputation as a nightlife hub on the Costa del Sol. Pubs, clubs, discos and beach bars attract thousands of revellers each year and there’s something for all tastes. Dancing under the stars is possible in every season, with a Mediterranean climate that offers more than 300 sunny days a year.

On or off the sand, Torremolinos holidays burst with fun things to do for every type of traveller.

If you’re looking for action on the sand, head straight to Playa El Bajondillo. Hold on tight for banana boat rides and hire a jet ski to zip across the ocean. Beach volleyball courts and a playground bring the action on land.
Hit the slides at Aqualand Torremolinos. The water park features the Boomerang Half Pipe, the Speed Racer and Kidzworld to entertain small children for hours.
The star of the show at Guapatini’s Show Bar is the fabulous drag queen, Contessa Guapatini. Variety shows run five nights a week and entertain audiences with comedy and music.
At over 2,000 metres long, Playa La Carihuela is the longest beach in Torremolinos. Holidaymakers flock to enjoy sunbeds, water sports and charming chiringuitos selling ice creams and cold beer.
La Bateria Park offers an escape into nature, with a manmade lake surrounded by beautiful gardens. Amble across serene footpaths and take the kids on the carousel.
