Description

The Costa del Sol is the epicenter of nightlife in Andalusia and one of the Mediterranean's top party destinations. This itinerary is designed for travelers looking for unpretentious fun from dusk until dawn. It starts in Malaga, the capital of the Costa del Sol, where the Soho district brings together the trendiest bars and the art galleries that turn into clubs after dark. La Malagueta beach offers the daytime relaxation needed before a night of revelry. The Alcazaba and the Picasso Museum are the trip's only cultural concessions, adding context to the nightlife in this city of art. Calle Larios and its surroundings are the heart of Malaga's nightlife, with cocktail bars that stay open until late. On the second day, the itinerary moves on to Marbella, the heart of luxury and partying on the Costa del Sol. Puerto Banus is the showcase for superyachts, luxury cars and the most exclusive clubs on the peninsula. A night at Olivia Valere, with its gardens and pools, is a high-end party experience. Pangea, on the Golden Mile, offers dinner shows and a nightclub. The third day is devoted to Marbella's beach clubs, where the party starts at midday and doesn't end until nightfall. La Fontanilla beach and its upscale chiringuitos keep the festive atmosphere going all day long. The farewell night takes place at the Plaza de Toros de Marbella, which becomes a nightclub on summer nights.
