Hotels near Playa de Calahonda
Spain
Playa de Calahonda is a 900-metre Blue Flag beach in the Mijas Costa municipality, roughly halfway between Malaga city (30 km west) and Marbella (15 km east). It's a wide, sandy beach with calm water, full services, and a pleasant promenade backed by low-rise residential development rather than the concrete hotel blocks that dominate sections of the Costa del Sol. The beach faces south, gets sun all day, and is sheltered from easterly winds by the Punta de Calaburra headland.
Facilities include sunlounger hire (about 12 EUR for two), beach showers, lifeguards in season, and several chiringuitos. The beach bus (Avanza route from Fuengirola, connecting from the Renfe Cercanias C1 line from Malaga) reaches Calahonda in about 50 minutes from Malaga.
Pro Tip: The sections of Playa de Calahonda furthest from the access points (the eastern end, past the last chiringuito) are noticeably quieter in high summer. The central promenade area gets most of the day-visitor traffic; walking 200 metres in either direction from the main access steps consistently gives more space.
