Family-friendly vacation rentals in Benalmádena

What an amazing stay, we could not have asked for any more, the place, the welcome and the lovely gifts. Everything and more that would could have wanted.

Amazing place to relax. We recommend it!

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful stay and Nicholas’ apartment in the heart of the Golden Mile Marbella. This quaint apparent nestled amongst beautiful gardens is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities required. The complex itself has a lot of traditional charm amongst with its beautiful facade that gives a welcomed contrast to the flash of the Golden Mile. Nicholas is a real people’s person and spent time chatting to us about the history of the area as well as going above and beyond to accommodate us. He also has some amazing recommendations for local places ! We absolutely loved our stay here and we will definitely be back to this little gem.

My friend and I stayed at this beautiful apartment in May for a long weekend to see a mutual friend who lives in Elveria, so as I go regularly it is nice to find a comfortable place to return to, and I will! Bright and cheerful and immaculately clean, exactly like the photos. Isabelle provided towels and beach towels so was easy to come for a few days with a carry on suitcase. It is 2 minutes to the beach and a welcoming new beach bar at the bottom of the road. Nikki beach is over the road but did not intrude in any way, we walked on the beach every morning to find beach bars for breakfast and coffee (plentiful). The pool area was lovely with well maintained gardens and a pool bar for snacks and drinks, again very tranquil. All in all I would definitely recommend and go back as I have stayed in lots of apartments in the area and this was the best by far. All in all the apartment is well equipped with everything you need and you’re sure to have a fabulous time!

A perfect host and a perfect apartment.

We always like to give an honest review of the places we stay in as I would appreciate it from other travellers. First off Carols and his wife are great hosts. They are responsive and helpful. The location of this place is what sells it. It’s pretty much on the beach and boardwalk and very close to old town Marbella. Perfect location. Now a few things to be aware of. Not necessarily negative but I would have liked to have a heads up. First up parking. Yes there is free street parking but if you have any issues with parallel parking you will have to consider other options. The laneway is so freaking narrow with cars on both sides your collision sensors will be lighting up like a Christmas tree. Get the rental car insurance. Secondly since the place is on the main floor there is no outdoor seating so it can seemed closed in. Thirdly the bed is fairly hard and a double size so prepare for that if you have back issues. All in all very clean. Would recommend for a budget option.

We enjoyed staying at Ana's place, the apartment is modern and tastefully renovated. Everything was clean and smelled good. The kitchen had every kitchenware we needed, but be advised you need to bring your own cooking essentials(oil, seasoning, tea, coffee etc.) The view to the sea is beautiful and it is very close to the park. The doors and windows are not soundproof, but I have seen this is a common issue in Spain. So you can hear noise from the street.

This was a return visit to Nuscha's apartment. Everything was perfect for our nice relaxing stay. There are great restaurants on the doorstep and a beautiful quiet pool area in the private community area. Nuscha was a warm and welcoming host and was great at communicating throughout our stay. Hope to return to Alhoa Gardens again soon.

The apartment is very nice, large, clean (there are small ants in the kitchen), comfortable beds, lots of light and wonderful views (mountain and sea), the spectacular terrace (eye!! beware of the dogs, because we receive the visit of a black cat every afternoon), very quiet residential area, essential to have a car, being on the side of the mountain, they are all slopes, there are people living all year, so you can go at any time and do not feel you alone and isolated. I recommend anchoring the pots on the terrace, usually strong wind and the tombs on the ground, a little risky if you have children playing or dogs. I recommend it 100%.

Absolutely beautiful flat. A perfect rooftop for a board game and a glass of wine. Space was chilled with AC, had excellent facilities and even though we only stayed for one night it was perfect and extremely affordable. One note is that this is run by a business and you can feel that in both good and bad. Loads and loads of instructions which feels like everything is getting answered but can feel overwhelming with apps and admin - fine for me, but not sure I could recommend to my parents who aren’t tech savvy for example.

This villa is beautiful and the view is absolutely stunning! The view is so beautiful that it almost didn’t seem real, we kept joking that it looked AI generated, like it was a Microsoft desktop wallpaper! Being able to communicate directly with the house manager (Pepe) was great to answer any queries we had. Pepe did a great job showing us around when we arrived and was flexible with arrival considering we had a 2.5 year old with us. The villa is as described. We spent the majority of our time in the pool mesmerised by the view. Marbella and Puerto Banús is only a 20 minute uber away. Plus we managed to get some uber eats delivered to us one night. There’s a mini market a 10 minute walk away. Unfortunately it started heavily raining (unusual) while we were in the mini market and the owner was SO kind to offer us a car ride back to the villa! Thank you Hamza! Overall we had an amazing time & will be back again!

Perfect stay! The apartment is large, ideally located and the view from the balcony is simply wonderful. There are several amenities and we have everything we need in this apartment (very well-equipped kitchen, everything you need to do laundry, etc.). The host is super nice and responds quickly. A 100% rating. I would recommend it in a second!

The villa was stunning, me and my 9 friends stayed for my 30th. We opted for the warm pool and was worth it. 20 mins to Puerto Banus and 10 minutes to breathe breakfast. Kitchen amenities were class and all the bedrooms were a good size. Nacho was very responsive and answered any questions I had quick. He also accommodated our late check out which was a relief. Hairdryers and iron board was good. Bed was comfy in my opinion. Showers were always hot, I liked the long table outside for drinks. Air con was good with the remote control addition. Supermarkets were 10 minutes walk away. Some tea and coffee was provided. Room was edited based on our preferences of single or double beds. Nah I sorted out a shuttle bus to and from the airport which was cheap and classy. It’s a lot bigger than the pictures suggest. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a lovely stay at Marina's apartment. Communication was super from our host and she kindly arranged to allow us to check in early when our flight was moved up. Accommodation was exactly as described with a beautiful view from the balcony. Pool area is lovely and the location is superb for the beach and restaurants and bars. We would be delighted to return in the future.

We spent 3 nights at Alberto's place. The property is faithful to the photos (Very clean, with the necessary amenities), it is located about 15 minutes from the center of Malaga and close to a small restaurant, a convenience store and a gas station. Communication with the host was very smooth; Alberto is responsive, clear, precise in his instructions and very friendly (willing to ensure the well-being of his "guests").

What a find! We have had the best few days staying in the most peaceful but accessible location. The kids absolutely loved the pool, this ment we could relax and not have to constantly watch the them as it was so well set up. The Villa is all you need for a home from home feel, so clean and well maintained. Only a short distance from a lovely seaside town for dinners out and the other direction the busy town if your looking for more amenities. The beautiful mountain town of Mijas is also a short drive, well worth a visit. Thanks Abe we had a wonderful stay and look forward to seeing you in the future.

We loved staying at Sergio’s place . Great host and extremely helpful. Communication was second to none. Can’t praise him or his place highly enough. Will def stay again ! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Javier and Claudia were great hosts and went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. Everything great about the accommodation but it takes 25 minutes (by foot) down to beach and it is not near a bus stop.

David is a charming and very helpful host, always ready to answer any questions. We had a wonderful time, despite unlucky weather. The house is cozy and perfectly adapted for all the needs. We were stunned by the views, and the garden full of vegetables, orange trees, and chickens made each morning a delight <3 Just make sure to rent a reliable car, as the road from Cartama centre to the house is quite steep.

Antionia's place was absolutely amazing. It was like a dream, the view, how modern and renovated the apartment was. Antonia is incredibly nice, service-oriented and has many good tips on what to do! It is rare to see such a modern apartment in this area. Everything was included, it was possible to sunbathe in the morning with good sun loungers, nice furniture, a fantastic bathroom and a good bed! The kitchen was very well equipped and very functional. The building felt very safe with the concierge watching at the entrance, the elevator to the beach and proximity to restaurants and grocery stores, etc. We will be back for sure!

great apartment in Benalmadina. very close to the Marina. Bus stops at the top of the road for going up and down the coast. loads of restaurants and bars close by. great balcony with sea views and lively people in the apartment block. great communication by owner. recommended.

This is our second time staying in one of Carlos’ villas and it will definitely not be our last. The villa is incredible. We were a group of 12 and there was plenty of room for everyone. All bathrooms were ensuite and the rooms were all great sizes. The house is incredibly well stocked anything at all that you could think of needing it’s there. Carlos is so easy to communicate with and provides great local recommendations. Would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone.

Everything was in order, the terrace was beautiful, we had a great time and the owner was available if we needed anything

Kumar was a great host! He gave us relevant information and was very helpful. The apartment was Lovely and clean. We had a great time!
