The popular resort of Calahonda is situated around halfway between Marbella and Fuengirola. It’s a very popular resort. The beach here is a mix of sand and pebbles. The sprawling resort starts beachside and reaches across the highway and up into the rolling hills behind. Just along from Calahonda, towards Marbella, you can walk to the pretty Cabopino beach and harbour, with its popular beach restaurants, bars and cafes. Heading towards Fuengirola, you come to Calypso, a small urbanisation of villas and apartments. There is a little supermarket, bars and restaurants and a sunday market, held in the little roadside commercial centre.

Calahonda is a top favorite among families, couples, golfers, and younger people. The area has everything you need for good sports and leisure activities.
