ROMANTIC PLANS FOR YOUR GETAWAY TO THE COSTA DEL SOL
The Costa del Sol offers a wide variety of experiences for couples. Whether you’re after a peaceful retreat or something more adventurous, this region strikes the perfect balance between tranquillity, charm and excitement. A truly special moment to share is watching the sunset from the famous Balcón de Europa in Nerja. This iconic viewpoint, perched above the sea, offers dreamlike views of the Mediterranean and makes the perfect backdrop for a photo to capture the magic of the moment.
If your goal is to switch off and unwind, nothing compares to a traditional Arabic bath. The soothing scents, warm steam and gentle sound of flowing water create an atmosphere of pure relaxation. In cities such as Málaga or Ronda, you can enjoy couples’ massages and a sensory journey inspired by the ancient traditions of Al-Andalus.
And of course, the sea itself is an idyllic setting for a romantic experience. A boat trip – whether aboard a private vessel or as part of a group excursion – offers the chance to witness a spectacular sunset, accompanied by the sound of the waves, making it an experience you’ll never forget.
If you love discovering new places, a tour of the region’s whitewashed villages is just what you need. Driving along winding mountain roads, stopping off in charming spots like Frigiliana or Mijas, strolling leisurely through quiet streets and taking in breathtaking viewpoints – all of it will make your getaway feel like you’re living out a film together.
And to round off the day, there’s nothing better than a gourmet dinner with sea views. The Costa del Sol offers an extensive array of dining options, with most restaurants providing romantic settings, special menus for couples and a thoughtfully curated selection of local wines. Some highlights include:
- La Cala, a sure bet for a special evening: excellent seafood cuisine, cosy traditional décor and the soothing sound of the sea in the background.
- For something more refined, Restaurante Sollo, led by Michelin-starred chef Diego Gallegos, is renowned for its innovative, sustainable approach. It’s the perfect choice for an unforgettable evening à deux.
- Also in the area is Restaurante Arara, another of Gallegos’ creations, offering a more relaxed atmosphere while maintaining his signature creative flair. With unique flavours, attentive service and an intimate setting, it’s the perfect way to end a day full of unforgettable moments.
