Day 01 :

Wednesday 5th May

Upon our arrival in Malaga we will transfer to the hotel the Soho Boutique Los Naranjos.

Set just metres from the beach, this charming, Mediterranean-style hotel is located in a privileged residential area of Málaga.

The smart, continental-style decor of Los Naranjos creates an inviting venue for our visit to the Costa del Sol. Relax with newfound friends in the elegant lounge area, complete with plenty of sofa space.

Take the short, 5-minute walk down to the Malagueta Beach where you can soak up the sunshine and take a refreshing dip in the mild Mediterranean waters, as well as take the short stroll into Málaga’s historic city centre.

Throughout the tour we will be staying in twin rooms with balconies but there is an option to have a room to yourself for the trip. If you wish to have a room with a balcony to yourself for the 5 nights the supplement will be £180. The supplement will be payable at the same time as the balance.

The Travel Buddies trips work on the basis that as long as you are having a good time then that is what matters, if you don’t feel like coming on one of the excursions or joining the rest of the group for dinner one evening then that is absolutely fine. This is an adventure for everyone and there is nothing worse than having to go somewhere/do something that you don’t really fancy!

Feel free to do as much or as little research as you like, some members will know what they would like to visit as soon as they book the trip, Others will just turn up at the airport and have not researched at all. Either is absolutely fine. We all have different ideas as to what constitutes a great time away!

Day 02 :

Thursday 6th May

Three perfect activities await today..

We start with a guided walking tour, a full 360º journey through the city’s past and present.

From glorious empires to dark legends, from famous stories to the secrets hidden in plain sight, we’ll see you the real Málaga: both the good and the not-so-good, the famous and the forgotten.

Because every city has two stories, and we will hear them both.

We’ll hear the untold stories, curious facts, and mysteries that give Málaga its unique personality. History, fun, and a touch of the unexpected.

This afternoon we have the opportunity to spend time at the Museo Picasso Málaga housed in the breathtaking 16th century Buenavista Palace, this is an absolute must-see that pays homage to the city’s most famous native son.

Spanning over eight decades of Pablo Picasso’s groundbreaking career, the intimate collection showcases more than 200 works ranging from early classical sketches and revolutionary Cubist masterworks to ceramics and late sculptures offering a deeply personal look into the evolution of a modern art genius.

Dinner will be booked at a traditional local restaurant

Afterwards…..Watch the sun set over the sea from the comfort of a luxurious catamaran. Enjoy a drink and chill-out music on board, and admire stunning views of Malaga’s skyline.

Day 05 :

Sunday 9th May

As our trip draws to a close, the final day belongs entirely to you, unfolding at whatever pace you choose.

If the sun is beaming, you might sink into a sunbed for an effortless beach day, or perhaps you’ll wander through the lively local shops and boutiques, hunting for special mementos to take home, or seek out a few last hidden pockets of art, history, and culture.

If your spirit craves one last bold adventure, the day is open to head further afield—whether marveling at the dramatic gorge of Ronda or stepping across the border into Gibraltar. Whatever path you take, the day is yours to design as you wish. And as night falls on our final evening, we’ll gather together around a wonderful dinner, raising a glass to toast a truly fabulous Málaga holiday.
