These air-conditioned 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments have a distinctive colonial feel incorporating exotic woods and rattan furniture, big-name kitchen appliances, satellite TV and CD/DVD equipment – and that’s not all, master bedrooms have a Jacuzzi.

Outside the resort, the infinite possibilities on the Costa del Sol are waiting to charm and entertain you. Explore beautiful landscapes, fabulous beaches and delicious food. Discover a rich cultural heritage, amazing coastal areas and pretty white villages. Enjoy stunning golf courses, the best visitor attractions and a vibrant nightlife.
In search of a cultural experience, an excursion to the spectacular mountaintop city of Ronda should be on your bucket list. Famous worldwide for its dramatic views, and the deep El Tajo gorge that carries the rio Guadalevín through its centre, Ronda is one of Spain´s oldest towns. You should make a beeline for the 18th century Puente Nuevo ‘new’ bridge, which straddles the 100m chasm below, for its unparalleled views out over the Serranía de Ronda.
Over the decades millions of visitors have made their way to the Costa del Sol and for many the word Malaga is synonymous with airport. But now the city of Malaga – vibrant, beautiful, and rich with history and culture – is less of a hidden gem as many more visitors to southern Spain take time to discover this city of exuberance and colour.
Malaga is compact and easy to manage; full of beautiful churches, elegant buildings restored to their former glory following a busy renovation programme and a stunning array of museums and galleries. Day visitors from the Costa del Sol explore the city streets alongside tourists from the big cruise ships that are now a familiar sight moored in the harbour.
MALAGA
Golf in southern Spain? Simply sizzling! Among Europe’s top golfing destinations, the Costa del Sol now boasts around 60 superb courses designed to offer something for golfers of every ability, from low-handicap club players to golfing ‘rabbits’ on holiday. Visitors are welcome virtually everywhere and most courses are easily accessible within just an hour’s drive of CLC Club La Costa World.

The Costa del Sol is a shopper’s paradise, from stylish department stores and high-end boutiques to food markets and classic shopping centres, there’s something for everyone within easy reach of CLC Club La Costa World.
El Corte Inglés has established itself as a world-class luxury department store since it first opened its doors in 1940.
SHOPPING ON THE COSTA DEL SOL
A magnificently preserved old town with a maze of lanes, convents, museums, churches, palaces and monuments, all of it a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a major part of Ronda’s visually gorgeous appeal, its gargantuan El Tajo gorge is another.
It’s impossible to remain unmoved as you drink in the astounding views from the walkway that skirts the gorge and the 18th century El Puente Nuevo bridge that links the historic centre with the ’new’ town, below it a yawning chasm.
RONDA
Fuengirola Bioparc is a visitor’s ‘must do’ – step through the gates into simulated tropical forests, lush vegetation and cooling waterfalls. Crocodiles bask, barely blinking, Sumatra tigers prowl, lemurs chase each other through the branches of the zoo’s iconic Baobab tree and orang-utans play up to their laughing audience. Everywhere you wander are birds and animals living in as near as possible their natural habitat, including a Komodo dragon!
BIOPARC FUENGIROLA
Easily reached on a day-trip excursion from CLC Club La Costa World on the Costa del Sol, Granada – steeped in incredible history and culture – is a dream location for holidaymakers who love their cameras and is undoubtedly one of Spain’s most photographed cities.
No visit to Granada – or even to Andalucia – would be complete without seeing the jewel in the city’s crown that is the Alhambra Palace. Visited by around 3 million people every year, the Alhambra is Spain’s best preserved monument from the period of Moorish occupancy and richly deserves its status as a World Heritage site.
GRANADA
For Fuengirola read FUNgirola as this busy and very popular seaside town is dense with a huge variety of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs along and behind its 7km swathe of broad sandy beaches.
A traditional destination for holidaying families that originally – like so many other places along the Costa del Sol – was a tiny fishing village, Fuengirola may have all the tourist trappings but has never lost its Spanish identity; this despite it long being an ex-pat stronghold for Europeans eager to embrace the sunshine lifestyle, chiefly Brits.
FUENGIROLA
As the warm spring sunshine makes life – and holidays – on the Costa del Sol so much more enjoyable, the improved temperatures also signal another key development for tourism on the coast – the opening of the Parque Acuatico, Mijas.
Better known simply as the ‘aqua park’, the Parque Acuatico Mijas opens on April 28th and is a great place to go for a fun day out with the family – without a grain of sand anywhere in sight! Better still, it’s very easy to reach, just a few minutes away from the CLC Club La Costa World resort by car, taxi or even on foot.
AQUA PARK MIJAS
One of the most amazing views of the Costa del Sol – covering some 300km from Gibraltar to the Sierra Nevada mountains in Granada province – is to be enjoyed from the top of the Calamorro mountain, which can be accessed via the Teleférico cable car from Benalmadena.
You can get to Benalmadena very easily by train from Fuengirola, or it’s just a short, 15-minute drive from CLC Club La Costa World. The lively town centre and busy marina both have plenty to offer for a day or evening out, but the cable car is a holiday experience all of its own!
BENALMADENA CABLE CAR
