Hotels in Fuengirola: prices, timing and districts
Fuengirola is a sunny Costa del Sol resort in Andalusia, less than half an hour by train from Malaga. It is known for its eight-plus kilometres of beaches, such as Playa de Fuengirola and Playa de Los Boliches, and for the long promenade running along the sea. The medieval Sohail Castle overlooks the town, while in the centre you will find the Roman villa Finca del Secretario and the Mezquita mosque. With children it is worth visiting the Bioparc Fuengirola zoo or the Parque Acuático Mijas water park. Guests usually stay about five nights, mixing the beach with trips to Malaga or Ronda. You get around town on foot, and the cercanías train reaches the nearby towns. This list has 2 033 properties, from a cheap two-star hotel to a five-star property with a spa. Below is what really drives the price of a stay in Fuengirola: the month and day of arrival, the choice of area and the standard of the property.
When to book a stay in Fuengirola for less
It is cheapest in February, when the beach season sleeps and the town keeps a calm pace. August and the whole summer are the most expensive, when the beaches draw the crowds. The day of the week matters: it is usually cheaper on Monday, while Thursday costs the most as the weekend seaside arrivals begin. A typical stay runs five nights, just right for the beach, sightseeing and nearby trips. The mild Mediterranean climate means people come to the sea here almost year-round.

Where a stay is cheaper or pricier
Guests rate properties in the central Fuengirola City Centre, near the beach and the promenade, most highly, home to hotels such as Casa Consistorial at 9.0 or the boutique Hotel Las Islas at 9.6, though prices there run higher. The Los Boliches beach area and seafront hotels also score well, such as the Terrace Costa Hotel at 9.0. It is cheaper and quieter a few streets back from the beach and in simpler properties such as Hotel Galicia. The closer to the sea and the higher the standard, the higher the price. For value, choose a property off the seafront or a date outside summer.

When Fuengirola is pricier
August and the whole summer are the most expensive, when the sun and warm sea draw holidaymakers to the beaches. October can be pricey too, during the Feria de Fuengirola, a colourful week-long fair with music and local food. February and winter are the cheapest and quietest, though the mild Mediterranean climate invites promenade walks all year. In summer, beachfront hotels and those with a spa book up fastest, so it pays to book ahead.
