Calahonda

Nestled between Marbella and Fuengirola, Calahonda is often overlooked by the hurried traveler, which makes it even more treasured by those who discover it. With big green fields that stretch across world-class golf courses, the longest and most pristine beach along the entire Costa del Sol (Cabopino), and a gentle blend of rural charm and seaside sophistication, Calahonda is where Mediterranean living slows down just enough for you to breathe deeply and smile often.

Calahonda’s appeal lies in its balanced offering: nature, leisure, and connectivity. Its coastal lifestyle is enhanced by a charming local port (Puerto de Cabopino), dotted with cafés, boutique shops, and traditional fishing boats. A walk through its surrounding pine groves or along the Senda Litoral coastal path awakens the senses with scents of sea salt and jasmine.

🏌️‍♂️ Golf & Outdoor Living

Calahonda is a golfer’s paradise, with 10 championship courses located within a 10-kilometre radius. Tennis enthusiasts, fitness lovers, and fans of paddleboarding or jet-skiing will also find ample space to move, sweat, and unwind. And for those who prefer a more relaxed tempo, a drink at a beach chiringuito or a massage by the waves might be the perfect afternoon.

🏖️ Sun & Sea

Just beside Calahonda lies Cabopino Beach - arguably one of the most scenic, family-friendly, and lesser-crowded beaches on the coast. Here, golden sand stretches between dunes and protected natural spaces, offering a wonderful alternative to the more built-up areas of the Costa del Sol. This beach is also home to elegant venues such as Nikki Beach and La Plage Casanis, as well as the famously atmospheric Secret Garden - Niche’s Restaurant hidden among palm trees.

🚗 Perfectly Connected

Despite its relaxing atmosphere, Calahonda is incredibly well-located. A nearby exit to the AP-7 highway ensures easy and fast access to both Marbella (just 7–12 minutes away) and Málaga Airport (12–15 minutes). Whether you’re flying in for a weekend or planning an extended stay, Calahonda offers both accessibility and seclusion.

📚 A Touch of Mystery

Interestingly, the etymology of Calahonda remains somewhat unclear. Unlike other Andalusian towns whose names reflect Arabic or Latin roots, Calahonda doesn’t reveal its linguistic past easily. But what is certain, is that its present speaks clearly of tranquility, natural beauty, and understated luxury.

Stay in Calahonda and discover one of Costa del Sol’s best-kept secrets. Whether you're here for golf, a romantic escape, a digital detox, or a taste of authentic Andalusian life-this hidden gem will welcome you with open arms, warm sun, and the timeless rhythm of the sea.
