A coast with more layers than most couples expect
Most people think of Benalmádena as the seafront - the big resort strip between Torremolinos and Fuengirola. But the municipality extends well inland, up to the original white village perched on the hillside and the resort hotels above the tree line. That range of settings is what makes it interesting to work in.
El Higuerón is one of the best venues in this section of the coast - contemporary architecture, unobstructed sea views and afternoon light that falls cleanly across the terraces. The Castillo de Colomares offers something different entirely: a fairy-tale folly with a visual quality that exists nowhere else. And Benalmádena Pueblo, often overlooked, has the whitewashed charm of the inland villages without requiring a long drive.
Whether you're planning wedding photography alone or adding a wedding film, the variety of locations here - beach, village, hillside - means there's always something strong to work with.
- Three visual settings in one municipalityVillage, seafront and hillside resort - Benalmádena offers more visual contrast across a single wedding day than most locations on the coast.
- Strong international communityBenalmádena has deep roots with UK, Irish and Scandinavian couples - the area is familiar and practical for international weddings, with good transport links and accommodation.
- Close to Mijas PuebloFor portrait time in an authentic Andalusian white village, Mijas Pueblo is 15 minutes away - an easy addition to a Benalmádena wedding day if the light and schedule allow.
Local knowledge
Venues and locations in Benalmádena
From hilltop resort to beachfront venue and white village - here's where we work in Benalmádena.
Castillo de Colomares
The world's largest monument to Christopher Columbus - a fairy-tale castle folly on the hillside above Benalmádena. One of the most visually unusual backdrops on the whole coast.
Benalmádena Pueblo
The hilltop original village, separate from the coastal strip. Whitewashed houses, panoramic views and a genuinely Andalusian atmosphere close to the sea.
Sunset Beach Club
One of the established larger wedding venues on the Benalmádena seafront. Direct beach access, a dedicated event space and ceremony options right on the sand.
Villa Torrequebrada
A grand hotel with event facilities set in extensive gardens above the coast. Good for larger celebrations that need ceremony and reception under one roof.
Puerto Deportivo
Benalmádena's lively marina has a different energy to the seafront - boats, colour and an animated atmosphere that works well for couples who want something social.

Benalmádena wedding questions
What areas does Benalmádena cover?
Benalmádena is actually three distinct areas: Benalmádena Pueblo (the original hilltop white village), Benalmádena Costa (the coastal strip with most of the hotels and venues), and Arroyo de la Miel (the inland commercial town). Most weddings take place in the coastal and pueblo areas.
Is El Higuerón in Benalmádena or Fuengirola?
El Higuerón sits on the boundary between the two municipalities - it's often listed under both. We cover the full area, and the resort itself is one of the strongest venues on this stretch of coast.
Do you offer photography and film for Benalmádena weddings?
Yes - combined photography and film packages are available for all Benalmádena venues. We cover the full municipality including the Pueblo, the coastal venues, and the hillside resorts.
Can you incorporate Mijas Pueblo into a Benalmádena wedding day?
Yes. Mijas Pueblo is about 15 minutes from the coastal Benalmádena venues. For couples who want portrait time in an Andalusian white village setting, incorporating a short Mijas session into the day is something we can plan for.
How much does wedding photography cost in Benalmádena?
Photography packages for Benalmádena weddings start from €1,350 for up to 6 hours, and €1,750 for a full wedding day. Combined photo and film packages start from €3,000. All prices are confirmed clearly before you book. See the pricing page for full details.
