Listen Later

If you’re dreaming of a move to Spain - but Marbella feels overdone, and Málaga feels too hectic - there’s a place quietly ticking all the boxes for lifestyle buyers, families, and smart investors alike.

In this week’s episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra and Warner are lifting the lid on Benalmádena - their hometown, their base, and one of the most underrated places to buy property on the Costa del Sol.

You might know Benalmádena as a holiday spot- but trust us, there’s so much more beneath the surface.

It’s not just a tourist town. It’s a year-round, beautifully walkable, culturally rich hub with three distinct zones, top-tier international schools, easy access to Málaga and the airport, and a thriving international community that actually lives here - not just passes through.

Whether you’re relocating from a fast-paced city like London, Dublin or New York, or simply want a smart, lower-stress alternative to Marbella - this episode gives you the full picture.

You Will Discover:

✅ Why Benalmádena is a smart investment alternative to Marbella (without compromising lifestyle).

✅ What daily life actually looks like living here - from beach walks to top-rated international schools.

✅ The best zones to live in Benalmádena - and who each one is perfect for.

✅ The food scene: Warner & Sandra’s personal restaurant picks for every taste.

✅ How living here has impacted their family’s quality of life—and how it could shape yours too
