The beautiful mountain town of Benahavis is located a few kilometres west of San Pedro de Alcantara on the Costa del Sol. Situated 7km inland from the coast amid the emerald foothills of the Serrania de Ronda mountain range, holidaymakers heading to Benahavis will be struck by its stunning location, peaceful atmosphere and pretty whitewashed buildings. The village is often referred to as ‘The dining room of the Costa del Sol’ thanks to its large concentration of exquisite restaurants and tapas bars; each one invariably inviting, well-priced and of an extremely high standard.
Golfers have over nine world-class courses to choose from in the immediate vicinity, while tourists simply seeking a relaxing holiday in the Spanish sun should look no further – Benahavis’ beauty, ambience and accessibility make it a firm favourite with couples and older holidaymakers.
The village’s tight, hilly streets were obviously cobbled together before the proliferation of the motor car, so exploration on foot is the recommended option and the perfect way to discover the delights and sights of this picturesque village. Hotels in the area are excellent and varied, ranging from modern luxury and style to quaint accommodation and homely service.
