Beach holidays on the Costa del Sol.
“Costa del Sol” literally means “The Coast of the Sun” and Calahonda is right in the middle of it all!
Stretching miles in either direction, the beaches of the Mediterranean, close to La Orquidea, are a mixture of popular, wide beaches and secluded coves and bays of soft golden sand.
From the party atmosphere of Fuengirola Beach with its freshly caught sardine barbecues and wealth of beach holiday activities, to the relative peace and quiet of Cabopino and its small marina, there is a beach choice for everyone here on the Costa del Sol.
La Orquidea Holiday Resort is in the hills of Calahonda, about 1km from the beach. It’s a great place to return to for drinks and food whilst admiring the resort’s gardens and pools, after a day on the beach.
