There are many prestigious golf courses in the La Quinta/Benahavis area including El Higueral Club de Golf, La Quinta, La Zagaleta, Gran Flamingo Golf, Los Argueros designed by Seve Ballesteros, Los Flamingos Golf and Monte Mayor Golf. There is even a Golf Academy complete with practice ground and putting green. It is a wonderful area to enjoy a hike or cycle, exploring the fauna and flora as well as the views. The terrain is traversed by the Guadalmina, Guadaiza and Guadalmanza rivers. The Guadalmina River offers great canyoning opportunities with its many waterfalls and plunge pools. The top attraction of Benahavis is its natural surroundings and uninterrupted views of mountains, woodlands and rivers. The village itself is picturesque with well-kept narrow streets and squares flanked by Andalusian whitewashed houses. The delightful Parque Torre Leoneras Park contains the ruins of a medieval tower and a lake. The 10th century Montemayor Castle is mostly ruins but still has several sections of walls and the Queen’s Tower standing. Benahavis boasts a lovely car boot style Sunday market in the grounds of a shrine. Benahavis’ Holy Week has some of the loveliest processions on the Costa del Sol. The annual Benahavis Fair takes place in August and the whole village enjoys processions, fairground rides, fireworks, eating and drinking. There are also summer concerts and culinary events in the many Benahavis restaurants. Close to Benahavis, La Aldea is almost a village within a village, the brainchild of the British sculptor David Marshall. His gallery is one of La Aldea’s main features, along with the marble fountains, antiques and old-fashioned doors and grilles.
The Costa del Sol boasts twenty three stunning, sandy beaches along its 27 kms of gorgeous coastline. Guests staying at Villa Cerrojo enjoy the beautiful San Pedro Beach, Playa Fontanilla, Playa Naguelese, Playa Cabopino, Playa de la Rada and Playa del Padron in Estapona.

The glamorous and glitzy Marbella holds its own with the French Riviera and other hot-spot destinations in Europe. Michelin-starred restaurants, manicured, challenging golf courses, marinas bustling with high-end yachts, chic, designer boutiques, glitzy entertainment and never-ending golden sandy beaches are all in abundance in Marbella. The Arabic characteristics of Plaza de los Naranjos, the old part of Marbella and its balconies adorned with beautiful, vibrant flowers are totally captivating. The square’s restaurants place their tables in a small formal garden bordered by orange trees. Visitors enjoy a labyrinth of narrow pedestrian streets laid with red tiles and crazy paving and beautiful plazas full of trendy, upmarket bars and restaurants and unique shops offering souvenirs, olive oil, local pottery and lace. The buildings are all whitewashed, wrapped in bougainvillea and topped with terracotta roofs, many dating back to the renaissance. Alameda Park is just a few steps south of the Old Town and feels like a private garden. There are marble walkways, fountains and benches, all under a thick canopy of tropical foliage. Many of the benches are clad with azuleos, classic Andalusian hand-printed tiles. The handsome walkway, Avenida del Mar, leads from the park to Playa de la Venus, next to Marbella’s first class marina. It boasts towering palm trees and bronze sculptures designed by Salvador Dali. The central Plaza de la Iglesia is very beautiful and often hosts vibrant markets and concerts. Besides the typical Andalusian cultural events, there are annual festivals dedicated to music including the Marbella International Opera Festival held in August, the Marbella Reggae Festival in July plus the Marbella International Film Festival in June.
The celebrated Puerto Banus was designed and built in 1970 by local property developer Jose Banus. It is renowned for its marina, designer shopping, dining and celebrity spotting. It is a playground for the rich with plenty of Ferraris parked outside the glamorous eateries and luxury yachts moored in the marina. The luxury Sala Beach and Ocean Club Marbella are just two of the upmarket beach clubs offering delicious cocktails, plenty of champagne, gastronomic delights and attentive staff.   
Estepona is another Andalusian hotspot, tucked between Marbella and Manilva.
