The resorts of the Costa del Sol in Spain have long been favourite destinations for those who want to take a break in the sun. But that’s not all this area of Spain has to offer: the sunshine coast also makes an ideal place to mix business with pleasure, so all the resorts have great hotel conference venues to attract delegates.

They can be reached easily from the airport at Malaga, with flights to and from the UK and other countries all day every day. Fast rail links make easy travelling between the Costa del Sol and other areas of Spain.

A few miles from the airport, in the city of Malaga, the Hotel MS Maestranza Malaga is perfect for a small conference venue, offering an exceptionally central location with views over Malaga’s famous bull ring and with the attractive backdrop of the city’s stunning walled fortress, the Alcazaba.

There are also plenty of beachside hotel conference venues to choose from further along the Costa del Sol. Head south west to the next main resort of Torremolinos and in the heart of desirable La Carihuela you’ll find the four star Hotel Tropicana right beside the sea. This will take up to 130 delegates.

For a major conference needing seating for up to 1600, the five star Hotel Torrequebrada at Benalmádena is just a few miles further along the coast and offers a central location which is excellent for golf, if indeed that is on the cards for extra curricular activity.

Just a little bit further along the coast you’ll come across Fuengirola where there is a wide range of hotel conference venues and then continuing on west you’ll reach Marbella and hit a whole host of possibilities, from the renowned Guadalpin chain to the Fuerte group and of course the Gran Melia Don Pepe, well known for its extensive hotel conference facilities.

Why not try out the Costa del Sol for your hotel conference venue this year? Many resorts; many hotels; many possibilities.
