The resort of Calahonda is located 10 minutes from
Marbella and is an ideal base
to go exploring the attractions in the Costa del Sol area. It was purpose built
as a resort in 1963 and has won many awards over the years including one for
“Best Spanish Urbanisation”. Although it is a developed area, the designer was
keen on green space and so there is an abundance of grassy areas to make use of.
Main Tourist Attractions
The main attractions of Calahonda include the fabulous golf courses - all ten of
them! The clean, sandy beaches are popular with families, watersport enthusiasts
and divers, who may enjoy looking at the artificial reefs located at either end
of Cabopino Beach. There are also several sport and leisure complexes where you
can play tennis, badminton and workout in the state-of-the-art gym. Other
facilities such as cinemas and bowling alleys are available at the commercial
centres. There are also many fiestas held throughout the year in the surrounding
area which are fun, vibrant and definitely worth a visit.
Shopping Opportunities
With three main commercial centres, Calahonda is a shopaholics delight! As well
as the usual supermarkets to buy fresh food, there is a wealth of shops to cater
for fashion and clothing at excellent prices. You will also find hardware shops,
boutiques, hairdressers, garden supplies and businesses that offer gifts which
are the perfect souvenir to take home. There are also local traditional Spanish
“flea” markets held in the towns and villages surrounding Calahonda. Here you
will find authentic gift ideas such as jewellery, leather goods and local arts &
crafts. If you can learn to haggle well, you may just pick yourself up a
bargain!
Eating out and Nightlife
Most of the opportunities for eating in Calahonda can be found in any of the
three commercial centres. There are at least 45 restaurants and numerous cafés
and bars to be found within the centres themselves. The restaurants and cafés
are a mix of flavours including authentic Spanish, with a range of international
cuisine to choose from. You will also find a range of restaurants, bars and
cafés at the Cabopino Marina.
The nightlife of Calahonda is energetic and busy. There are several nightclubs
to dance the night away in, then walk to your hotel in the early hours. Some of
the clubs put on live music and even have traditional flamenco dancing shows.
