Set on Benalmádena's marina and right on the beachfront, the 4-star Mac Puerto Benalmádena is a cracking base if your golf trip needs two things: easy course access by day and plenty going on after the round. You're a short walk from Puerto Marina's restaurants and bars, so the evenings take care of themselves, and you're still well placed for Málaga and a good spread of Costa del Sol courses within a short drive.
The hotel itself is modern and bright, with an outdoor pool, direct access onto the beach and a gym if you're keen to keep moving. Dining is flexible too, handy for golfers, whether that's grabbing breakfast before an early tee time or sitting down for something more relaxed later on. The setting is visually impressive, with contemporary design and a vibrant atmosphere that suits groups who want a sociable base rather than somewhere tucked away and quiet.
You're a few hundred metres from the Puerto Marina entertainment and shopping strip, which means an excellent choice of restaurants and bars open throughout the day and into the evening. If you're the sort who likes a quick beer on the marina after 18, you'll be in your element here. The beachfront location means you can step straight onto the sand, with plenty of sun loungers available to hotel guests, while the outdoor pool offers an alternative if you prefer poolside downtime between rounds.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a beachfront marina base with lots of bars and restaurants close by, plus straightforward access to Costa del Sol courses.
Who is it best for?
Groups and couples planning a lively golf break where the off-course options are as easy as the tee-time logistics.
