Benalmadena is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Costa del Sol, and for very good reason. This beautiful location is full of sun, sea, and some of the most beautiful beaches that you've ever seen in your life - perfect for lying on while you are recovering from the night before!
Fun fact - Benalmadena Stag Dos have been around for decades. In fact, there is a myth that this was the first ever stag do destination when the town was first founded back in prehistoric times. After all, even back then it was important to go somewhere with the lads before settling down!
Edit - I’ve been advised to tell you that the “fun fact” above cannot be proved to be true. But it still sounds right, doesn’t it? Essentially what I’m saying is that Benalmadena Stag Dos have been around for a long time for very good reason indeed. This place is amazing and is a perfect destination for you to visit before getting married.

Benalmadena is no slouch in the accommodation department, offering a range of excellent options to suit all budgets. If you're looking for a place to stay on the cheaper end of the market, we highly recommend renting Stag Apartments.
This gives you and all of the members of your group comfy beds and plenty of living space, all without breaking the bank. Our apartments are often located near the marina or the beach, meaning you can walk to the bars without needing a taxi. They also usually have access to a pool, which is essential for cooling off in the Spanish sun.
Alternatively, if you are looking for something a little more up-market, Benalmadena also offers a range of incredibly posh 4-star hotels with a wide array of luxury features. Who doesn't love a hot tub to unwind in?
When you're not relaxing in the sun or enjoying a cold pint on the beach, there are plenty of stag activities to populate your day with. Some of the most popular options available include the Catamaran Cruise – because what’s a better way to relax than drinking and sunbathing on a boat as you take in the gorgeous scenery?
For petrol heads, a trip around the area in the famous Buggy Safari allows you to experience the amazing local terrain first-hand. Or stick to the old traditional stag do activity favourite – Go-Karting.
However, there are two activities unique to Benalmadena that we always recommend. The first is the local Waterpark (Aqualand Torremolinos is nearby). For the adventurous types, the park includes a 22m high free-fall slide, making it one of the tallest in Europe and definitely worth experiencing.
The second unique activity is Fly Boarding, in which you get to hover above the sea with nothing but a skateboard-style deck between you and the powerful jets. As a bonus, it's also great fun to watch your mates get fired into the ocean when they wipe out!
For the adrenaline junkies, Coasteering is fantastic. This involves making your way around the rocky coast through a combination of climbing, swimming, and cliff diving.
There's plenty to do during the daytime, but what about your evenings? You’ll be pleased to hear that there are plenty of options for you to sink your teeth into.
24 Hour Square (Plaza Solymar): This is the neon-lit heart of the party. It is packed with bars, clubs, and late-night venues. It’s loud, lively, and where you’ll likely end up every night.
Puerto Marina: For a slightly classier start to the evening, head to the Marina. It’s been voted the 'Best Marina in the World' several times and is lined with restaurants and cocktail bars. It’s the perfect place for a Stripper Dinner or a nice meal before hitting the clubs.
If you’d like some help in finding the best places, why not arrange a Guided Bar Crawl? You’ll be shown the best nightlife by a friendly local guide who will ensure you get a couple of free drinks and have loads of fun while you are out and about!
When travelling to Benalmadena, you are looking to fly to Malaga Airport. The great news is that a huge selection of UK airports offer direct flights to Malaga, so no matter where you and the lads are flying from, you should be able to find cheap and convenient flights.
