Benalmádena has several outings best planned separately. Puerto Marina and SEA LIFE work together for a harbour day. The butterfly park or cable car offer different experiences, each with its own pace and visiting time.

Things to do here
Combine a Puerto Marina walk with the SEA LIFE aquarium.
Choose the Mariposario for a visit to the tropical butterfly park.
Check the official Teleférico information if you would like to see the coast from above.
Driving times are estimates from Vitania Resort in light traffic, excluding parking. Check your route before leaving; summer and rush-hour traffic can add time. A route may involve tolls.

With children
Choose one main activity around the children’s ages and interests. Check access, time slots and conditions beforehand. Weather also matters for the cable car.
Make it your day
The checked drive to SEA LIFE took around 28 minutes. The butterfly park and cable car are in other locations; check the route to the correct entrance and allow parking time.
An unhurried itinerary
An aquarium visit, lunch and a marina walk already make a full family day. Another attraction can wait for another day.
