Benalma Hotel Costa de Sol — Beachfront Conference Venue in Benalmadena
Set directly on the seafront in Benalmadena, Benalma Hotel Costa de Sol brings a relaxed, Mediterranean take on the corporate event, with the ocean as a backdrop to every meeting, dinner and reception. This 4-star hotel sits roughly halfway between Malaga and Marbella, making it a genuinely convenient Costa de Sol conference hotel for UK groups who want easy access without sacrificing a beachfront setting.
With five adaptable event spaces, sea-view dining and a full range of leisure facilities on site, Benalma works equally well for a focused day meeting, a multi-day incentive programme or an evening reception with the Mediterranean as the view.
For UK based event planners, AbleMaxx is your dedicated point of contact for enquiries, site visits and proposals, making the booking process straightforward from the first call.
Why Choose Benalma as Your Benalma Hotel Conference Venue
Benalma isn't a convention centre bolted onto a hotel. It's a beachfront property that has built its event spaces around the same sea views and relaxed atmosphere that define the rest of the hotel, which makes it a natural fit for UK planners who want something a little different from the standard corporate box.
The hotel's team works closely with clients to adapt spaces, layouts and technical set-ups to the brief, with audiovisual equipment and high-speed internet as standard, so presentations and hybrid sessions run without a hitch. For groups looking specifically at Benalma hotel Marbella meetings, given the short hop along the coast from Marbella itself, the hotel offers a genuine alternative to the town's larger conference hotels, with a more intimate scale and a distinct beachfront setting.
Add in Mediterranean dining throughout the stay and warm, personal service from arrival to departure, and Benalma offers a complete package for corporate groups rather than just a room booking.
Meeting & Event Spaces at Benalma
Benalma offers five named event spaces, each suited to a different type of gathering, from a full-scale reception to an intimate boardroom session. All can be adapted in layout and capacity to suit the brief, and full technical specifications are available through AbleMaxx.
The hotel's largest and most flexible event space, Night Bar holds up to 150 delegates theatre-style and up to 200 guests for a cocktail reception, with classroom and U-shape configurations also available for training days and smaller briefings. It's the natural choice for a plenary session, an awards dinner or a larger evening reception.
