May is the perfect time to get away from everyday life for a while – especially if you dream of sunshine, a gentle Mediterranean breeze and a premium active vacation. The Costa del Sol, one of Spain’s most desirable places to live and invest, offers not only beautiful real estate, but also a unique lifestyle – especially in spring, when nature awakens to life and temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities.
Cruise on a luxury yacht and watch dolphins
One of the most unique activities we recommend to our clients during the May holiday is a yacht cruise along the Costa del Sol combined with dolphin watching. The waters between Marbella, Estepona and Sotogrande are known for the presence of these fascinating creatures. A luxury yacht, a professional crew and a glass of chilled cava is a recipe for an unforgettable morning – perfect to feel the spirit of southern Spain and stay away from the hustle and bustle for a while.
Golf, trekking and biking – for activity lovers
Costa del Sol is famous for its prestigious golf courses – many of which are located right next to luxury residences. For hiking or biking enthusiasts, spring is the best time to explore the mountain trails around Benahavís or Mijas, where breathtaking views meet the tranquility of nature.
Brunch on the beach or rooftop yoga overlooking the sea
For those who combine activity with relaxation, a morning yoga session on a terrace with a panoramic view of the coast, followed immediately by brunch at one of the beach’s boho-style restaurants – such as those in Marbella East or El Chaparral – could be ideal.
Padel – the sport that has conquered Spain
Costa del Sol is a mecca for padel – a sport that combines the dynamism of tennis with the social nature of the game. Many luxury urbanizations have private padel courts, and exclusive sports clubs such as Puente Romano Tennis Club and Real Club Padel Marbella offer classes with a coach for every level.
An ideal option to get to know the locals and fit in with the coastal lifestyle.
Electric Bikes and Scenic Routes along the Coast
For those who appreciate exercise, but in a slightly more relaxed way, electric bikes are a great way to explore the coast – from the port of Marbella to the golden beaches of San Pedro. You can stop for coffee in Puerto Banús or tapas at a chiringuito by the sea along the way.
Exclusive tours of Andalusian gems
May is the perfect time to explore charming Andalusian towns. From the Costa del Sol, within a one-hour drive are:
– Ronda – a spectacular city suspended over a precipice with the legendary Puente Nuevo bridge. Perfect for a day trip, ending with dinner overlooking the gorge.
– Mijas Pueblo – a white town with cobblestone streets and local galleries, perfect for a lazy afternoon and a glass of wine in an intimate restaurant.
– Málaga – for lovers of art (Picasso, Pompidou, CAC), Andalusian cuisine and an atmospheric old town.
