With a coastline bathed in over 300 days of sunshine per year, Málaga is a dream destination affectionately known as Ciudad del Paraíso (Paradise City). Located along Spain's stunning Costa del Sol, this vibrant port city is known as the birthplace of Picasso. But Málaga is more than just an art lover's haven, it's a destination designed for relaxation with world-class golf courses, wellness retreats, and an exciting culinary scene.

Start your journey at Muelle Uno, Málaga's modern marina and waterfront promenade, lined with upscale boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and lively cultural spaces. Dock your yacht here and step straight into the city's energetic heart. The port itself is one of the oldest in the Mediterranean, dating back almost 3,000 years. Overlooking the harbor, the Alcazaba fortress and Gibralfaro Castle transport visitors back to Málaga's Moorish past. The Alcazaba, an 11th-century palace, is one of the best-preserved Moorish citadels in Spain, with gardens and breathtaking views.
