Costa del Sol

Why Go

Costa del Sol holidays are set in the Mediterranean's biggest holiday playground, with vast swathes of sandy beaches along its coastline and dramatic mountain ranges further inland. Last minute holidays in the Costa del Sol occupy one of the most diverse regions in Spain - Andalucía. The diverse surrounding landscape ranges from the lush green mountains of Las Alpujarras, to the scorched and dry riverbeds of the valleys. There is a beautiful nature reserve at Cabo de Gata, with stretches of green plains at Huelva in the west - a stark contrast to the sand-filled, bright and electric resorts at the coastal resorts of the Costa del Sol.

Costa del Sol holiday resorts can be calm or crazy - just read below to see which resort suits you. And whatever you are after - nature, adventure, parties or sunbathing - you're bound to be sated.

Spain - and particularly holidays in the Costa del Sol - is pretty much where package holidays all began. So much so, that they've been satirised somewhat in the media. Yes, some of the resorts can be a like a little Britain, but flights to the Costa del Sol offer the chance to explore both tradition and tourism. And the natural beauty of the region is testament to why this area is so popular, and you're guaranteed to find everything you need within easy reach of your Costa del Sol hotel. From authentic, busy little Nerja in the east - perched on the cliffs overlooking a series of smashing bays, to big and bold Fuengirola, and swanky Marbella in the west, Costa del Sol holidays encompass every shade of Spain you could imagine.
