Costa del Sol Long-Stay

Trade the Cold for Spain’s Sunny Coast
March 2 to 24, 2027
Winter Living on the Costa del Sol

Say goodbye to winter and hello to sun-soaked days on Spain’s Costa del Sol, where Mediterranean warmth, coastal rhythms, and an easygoing lifestyle set the tone for a slower, more satisfying escape.

Settle in for 21 nights at the 4-star Sunset Beach Club in Benalmádena, your beachfront home with a sea-view apartment, daily breakfast and dinner, and full resort amenities. With the sea just steps away and the promenade at your door, days unfold at your own pace, whether that means lingering over coffee, walking along the coast, or simply soaking up the sunshine.

During you escape, enjoy guided experiences in Málaga, Gibraltar, and the charming villages of Nerja and Frigiliana, balanced with plenty of free time to relax, explore independently, or do absolutely nothing at all. This long-stay getaway will blend comfort, culture, and flexibility, creating the perfect winter escape.
