Holiday Overview
The 2027 Green and Blue pointed, winter EBU Congress will take place in Andalusia at the 4-star Meliá Hotel Costa del Sol. Our hotel occupies a wonderful position overlooking Bajondillo Beach in Torremolinos and features a rooftop terrace with fantastic views over the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel is just a short drive from Malaga Airport, and Torremolinos itself is just 500 metres from the hotel and can be easily reached via the elevator next to the property (available for a small extra cost). This Spanish paradise is dotted with beautiful beaches, tapas bars and botanical gardens – perfect to explore during your free time.
Also nearby is Puerto Marina, considered one of the world’s top marinas thanks to its many restaurants, shops, attractions, and vibrant nightlife. Officially opened in 1979 under the name “Port au Prince,” it was renamed Puerto Marina Benalmádena in 1982. Known for its unique architecture and design, the marina can accommodate more than 1,000 boats and yachts.
We include a full-day excursion to the beautiful historic town of Ronda, where you’ll visit a winery for a guided tour and enjoy a tasting of three selected wines, each paired with traditional Spanish tapas. If you’re feeling adventurous in your free time, you may like to visit Mijas, a charming hilltop village on the Costa del Sol with stunning views of the Mediterranean. Wander its narrow streets, admire the whitewashed houses and flower-filled squares, and enjoy browsing the local shops and viewpoints. With a mild climate at this time of year, Andalusia is an ideal location for the 2027 winter congress.
