Costa del Sol family holidays

The Costa del Sol has been one of Spain's best-known family holiday destinations for generations. Its southern Andalucian coastline combines beaches, established resorts, family hotels and a wide choice of things to do.

Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Fuengirola are particularly useful for families looking for easy access to beaches, restaurants and resort entertainment, while places such as Estepona offer another option further along the coast.

A family holiday here can be as relaxed or as busy as you want it to be. You can spend days around the hotel pool or at the beach, then mix in waterparks, cable cars, aquariums, boat trips and sightseeing.

What are the benefits of a Costa del Sol package holiday?

Flights & accommodation

Flights and accommodation are normally brought together within one package holiday booking.

Less to organise

Combining the main parts of the holiday can make arranging a family trip more straightforward.

Transfers may be included

Airport transfers may form part of your package or be offered as an optional extra.

Baggage options

Luggage allowances vary, so always check exactly what the package includes.

One main booking

The main elements of the trip can be organised within one package rather than booked individually.

Depending on the hotel, this can include breakfast, lunch and evening meals, selected drinks and some snacks.

What age counts as a child on a Costa del Sol package holiday?

Do not assume one fixed child age applies to every holiday.

The age at which a traveller is treated as a child can vary depending on the tour operator, accommodation, room type, occupancy and individual holiday offer.

Enter each child's correct age when searching. This allows the booking system to show appropriate rooms, prices and any qualifying Free Child Place offer.
