[post_content] => There are lots of great reasons to come to Marbella, whether it’s wonderful restaurants, the beaches, great year-round weather, sports facilities, or fantastic selection of vacation rentals. But did you know that many people come here for medical procedures and cosmetic surgery?
Spain was recognized as 4th out of 46 destinations in the Medical Tourism Index, thanks to its high-quality healthcare system, state-of-the-art medical technology and skilled healthcare professionals. It was praised for offering a wide range of health and cosmetic procedures for significantly less than the UK and the US. Spain in general, and Marbella in particular, is a popular place to undergo cosmetic surgery, dental treatments, fertility procedures and orthopedic surgery, while enjoying the weather and wonderful lifestyle.
One of the medical procedures which is growing in popularity across the globe are hair transplants. This procedure restores hair loss, particularly in relation to male pattern balding.
There are lots of great clinics offering this procedure in Spain, including Marbella. According to the website Medihair, the average cost per graft in Spain is 0.86 EUR less than the global average. Costs here are on par with the cost of a hair transplant in Thailand, but with the latest techniques, high-end facilities, and experienced doctors, so it is no wonder it’s such a popular place to come.
In this article, we’re going to give you the lowdown on hair transplants in Marbella, to help you find the best option for you.
What is a hair transplant?
Losing your hair can be a really tough experience and can really dent people’s confidence and make them look and feel older than they really are. In men particularly, it’s common to develop bald spots on the top of the head, or experience a receding hairline as we age and many people really struggle with this change and how it makes them feel.
Hair transplants are procedures where your own hair is taken from a place where you have lots of hair, to fill in an area where you have lost your hair, such as your hairline, or a bald spot. These grafts are permanent and you can treat your transplanted hair exactly as you would your other hair.
The surgeon will harvest your hair, create tiny grafts and then implant those grafts into the area where the hair has been lost. The hair that was transplanted will fall out and new growth is usually seen within a few months, covering any bald spots, or restoring the hairline to where it was before. Find out more about hair transplants procedures on WedMD.
Many celebrities have had hair transplants, including Robbie Williams, James Nesbitt, Wayne Rooney, Rafael Nadal, Sam Smith, Louis Walsh, Kyran Bracken and many more.

[post_content] => Do you think of Marbella only as a summer holiday destination? Think again! Autumn is one of the best times to visit Marbella, as the weather is glorious, the place is still buzzing, yet the crowds have gone, so you don’t have to fight for a parking space or a table at the best restaurants.
A visit to Marbella in autumn, allows you to discover another side to Marbella, and in this article, we’re giving you insiders’ tips on how to enjoy autumn in Marbella like a local!
10 Reasons to Visit Marbella this autumn
The weather
This might sound strange, as clearly the weather in Marbella in autumn is cooler than in the summer. However, it’s a glorious time of year in our opinion. You can expect mainly bright sunny days and clear skies, with September seeing highs of 28⁰C and lows of 19⁰C and just one day of rain in the month. It cools slightly in October with highs of 24⁰C and lows of 15⁰C, but those are very comfortable temperatures to enjoy lots of activities and explore, without breaking a sweat. Plus, you can still enjoy sunny days on the beach or dine al fresco!
The restaurant experience
Now the food in Spain is always fabulous and we’re blessed with some wonderful restaurants in Marbella. But the advantage of having a gastronomic getaway in autumn, rather than summer, is that it’s easy to get a table. Plus, because it’s less crowded, the service is much better. There is still a buzz in the tapas bars, but it’s so much easier to cruise from one place to the other sampling dishes in each in the autumn, because you’re not going to struggle to get a table. There’s even a tapas event going on in nearby Mijas Costa, from the 19th of October to the 30th of November if you fancy a foodie day trip.
The perfect adult only getaway
If you’re a couple, or a group of adults traveling to Marbella, autumn is a great time to travel, when the kids are in school and families aren’t tending to travel. This time of year, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of traveling without too many kids around. Just be sure to avoid the Autumn half term – 28th of October to the 1st of November.
Sports
Marbella has amazing sports facilities, and it’s great to combine a holiday with practicing your favorite sports, but summer is just too hot. Autumn is perfect for a round of golf, a game of padel tennis, or your sport of choice.
Art
The art scene on the Costa del Sol is going from strength to strength, and the art galleries in Malaga are a real treat. We recommend visiting these amazing galleries during the autumn. You can take your time and view these masterpieces without the crowds. There’s even a chance to enjoy music at the Picasso Museum in Malaga by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Malaga on the 17th of September and the 1st of October, as part of the Chamber Music Series.
Top tip - Visit Malaga on a Sunday, as many of the art galleries and museums have free entry!
Flamenco
Many people associate flamenco with the summer ferias, but flamenco is something that you can enjoy year round, in places like Tablao Flamenco in Marbella Old Town. There is also a feria where you can enjoy flamenco and experience the passion and fun of Spanish culture in October. You’ll have to head to Fuengirola to see it, but it is definitely worth the trip. In 2024, the dates are the 6th to the 12th of October.
For the ultimate flamenco experience this autumn, head to the home of flamenco, Seville, to enjoy the Bienal flamenco festival, between the 11th of September and the 5th of October. Sevilla is under 3 hours’ drive from Marbella and an absolute must if you love flamenco.
Explore the great outdoors
We are blessed with some amazing countryside, just inland from Marbella, and hiking, mountain biking, horse riding and canyoning is a fantastic thing to do during autumn in Marbella. The temperatures are cool enough for you to really take on a challenge, like hiking La Concha – Marbella’s most famous mountain.
Events
There are some great events happening in Marbella over the autumn. You can join hundreds of walkers exploring Marbella on foot as part of the Marbella 4 Days Walking event from the 3rd to the 6th of October. There are 10-, 20- and 30-kilometer routes and you can join for just one day, or take part in all four.
You can also enjoy stand up comedy in English in Estepona on Wednesday 18th of October, with Stand Up Comedy Spain. You can see the shows going on during your trip.
On the 26th of October there’s an organized hike of the beautiful pine forest in Estepona’s Sierra Bermeja natural park by Senderismo Seville. It’s a Spanish company, but it’s easy to follow along, even if you don’t speak the language.
Ironman 70.3 comes to Marbella on October 27th 2024 and you can watch the amazing athletes complete this challenging triathlon, which starts and finishes in beautiful Puerto Banus.
Easy driving
We love it when the summer crowds disappear and the roads clear! It makes exploring the Costa del Sol, getting around, or visiting other places in Andalucia so much easier.
Cheaper flights and accommodation
When the kids are back to school and the cooler weather rolls in, it’s off-peak season and this means that flights are cheaper and holiday rentals and hotels lower their prices. That makes traveling to Marbella in autumn a great choice!
What to do in Marbella in autumn?
There’s so much to enjoy in Marbella in autumn, here are just a few recommendations -
Walk from Marbella to Puerto Banus along the seafront promenade.
Where to stay in Marbella in autumn?
It’s important when you choose your holiday rental for an autumn, rather than summer break, that you make sure that the property fits the bill. As there are cooler nights and shorter days, you need to make sure that the property is warm and comfortable, with sunny terraces to soak up the rays. Also, think about the location to ensure you make the most of your holiday.
Autumn is a great time of year for golf. So, if you are on a golf holiday, choose a vacation rental in an area with good access to multiple courses and close enough to all the amenities to give you flexibility if you just want to walk to get a bite to eat or go to the shops. You can view properties rentals in Nueva Andalucia, the golfer’s paradise, which would be perfect for an autumn golf getaway.
We have a large selection of great holiday rental properties in Costa del Sol, Puerto Banus and Marbella which you can browse on our website. As well as great vacation rentals, we also offer holiday extras such as golf club hire, car hire, excursions and more, plus you can get discounted green fees via our website.
We are here to make your holiday unforgettable, so if there’s something you need, please don’t hesitate to ask. We hope to see you in Marbella this autumn!

Experience the power of nature all around Costa del Sol
People know that being out in nature brings a wide set of benefits. The trees, plants, beaches, caves, animals, among other living things provide stress releasing moments and creative boosts possibilities. How often do you go out and immerse yourself into nature? We invite you to come visit Costa del Sol and spend some time trying the mental, physical and spiritual benefits it has for you. Here you can find several ecological tours where you can take a break from “real life” work and anxieties and engage in other activities to have better performance when you go back to the “real world”.
Frigiliana Axarquia, in Málaga Province, is a warm land under the influence of the Mediterranean Sea. A landscape with gentle rolling hills and open valleys, planted with olive, almond trees and vineyards. This county is composed of a great white village like Frigiliana, that seem still to be stuck in the past of Muslim origin. During this trip, you will observe its white walls, its steep labyrinthine and narrow streets, Moorish architecture, its many fountains and colorful pots. Frigiliana is one of the prettiest villages and the best preserved in all Andalucía. If you book a tour in this route, remember to go through the mountains of the Natural Park Sierra Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama.
Another great natural experience can be lived in Torcal, in Antequera. In this protected natural area you will discover the history of Antequera and the wilderness of the Natural Park of El Torcal, an amazing geological miracle! A spectacular hiking route around a unique landscape known for its unusual landforms, is one of the most impressive karst landscapes in Europe. El Torcal stands out for his incredible limestone formations. It’s one of the best things to do in Málaga hinterlands; in the middle of Andalusia region you can find this geological huge formation where enjoying a natural spirit.
The Roman Sulphur baths of Hedionda, near Casares village, have a special stream with high Sulphur content in the water due to the spring flowing from a limestone outcrop above the valley. It attracted the attention of the Romans 2000 years ago and an arched bathing complex was created of which four chambers still exist. This bath has been always used as a healing tool and still today people go there trying to cope with their skin illnesses. A small first chamber leads via an archway and tunnel to a much larger inner chamber.
One of the most interesting natural activities will take you to Benahavis, 7km away from Marbella that will take you navigate down a water course by a combination of walking, climbing, swimming, abseiling, jumping and generally scrambling down the river and its banks. Though this trip you will have full contact with natural landscapes such as waterfalls, amazing Gorges, to never forget this adventurous day. This activity is suitable for most ages, though you should be fit and agile enough for a couple of hours of scrambling in and around flowing water, be a competent swimmer and be willing to push yourself when it comes to jumping into pools of water from natural surroundings.
If you prefer to be on your own two feet and have a different experience by practicing mindfulness when you walk, the region also offers excellent hiking trails. One of the most well-known ones is La Puerta Verde a long route connecting Marbella with Ronda. This area goes through the mountain zone of the Malagueña Serranía, situated in the Natural Park of Sierra de las Nieves. This park is one of the most important ecosystems in Andalucía, considered by UNESCO as biosphere reserve. This will guarantee extremely impressive landscapes and beautiful sunsets such as the Peñón de los Enamorados next to Torrecilla. This trip might take you two days to do until you get to Ronda so we recommend splitting the excursion into two, the first half from San Pedro to Las Conejeras or Quejigales, and the second half from there to Ronda.
Finally, we have the La Concha hike in Marbella’s most famous mountain. You can do it from Juanar, 25 minutes from central Marbella and takes 8km to get to the top of it. We can help you contact an experienced guide to coordinate your first summit, because there are numerous paths and some parts of the climb are treacherous. This hike is not recommended for children under the age of 12. At 1200 meters above sea level, the mountain of La Concha is one of Marbella’s most recognized landmarks with its chiseled shape and deep grooves. Through the trail you can see olive groves, pine trees, berry bushes and walnut trees along the trek as well as Spanish goats, eagles and owls. Remember that you must be as comfortable as possible, take water and phone charged with you all the time.

[post_content] => Do you think of Marbella only as a summer holiday destination? Think again! Autumn is one of the best times to visit Marbella, as the weather is glorious, the place is still buzzing, yet the crowds have gone, so you don’t have to fight for a parking space or a table at the best restaurants.
A visit to Marbella in autumn, allows you to discover another side to Marbella, and in this article, we’re giving you insiders’ tips on how to enjoy autumn in Marbella like a local!
10 Reasons to Visit Marbella this autumn
The weather
This might sound strange, as clearly the weather in Marbella in autumn is cooler than in the summer. However, it’s a glorious time of year in our opinion. You can expect mainly bright sunny days and clear skies, with September seeing highs of 28⁰C and lows of 19⁰C and just one day of rain in the month. It cools slightly in October with highs of 24⁰C and lows of 15⁰C, but those are very comfortable temperatures to enjoy lots of activities and explore, without breaking a sweat. Plus, you can still enjoy sunny days on the beach or dine al fresco!
The restaurant experience
Now the food in Spain is always fabulous and we’re blessed with some wonderful restaurants in Marbella. But the advantage of having a gastronomic getaway in autumn, rather than summer, is that it’s easy to get a table. Plus, because it’s less crowded, the service is much better. There is still a buzz in the tapas bars, but it’s so much easier to cruise from one place to the other sampling dishes in each in the autumn, because you’re not going to struggle to get a table. There’s even a tapas event going on in nearby Mijas Costa, from the 19th of October to the 30th of November if you fancy a foodie day trip.
The perfect adult only getaway
If you’re a couple, or a group of adults traveling to Marbella, autumn is a great time to travel, when the kids are in school and families aren’t tending to travel. This time of year, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of traveling without too many kids around. Just be sure to avoid the Autumn half term – 28th of October to the 1st of November.
Sports
Marbella has amazing sports facilities, and it’s great to combine a holiday with practicing your favorite sports, but summer is just too hot. Autumn is perfect for a round of golf, a game of padel tennis, or your sport of choice.
Art
The art scene on the Costa del Sol is going from strength to strength, and the art galleries in Malaga are a real treat. We recommend visiting these amazing galleries during the autumn. You can take your time and view these masterpieces without the crowds. There’s even a chance to enjoy music at the Picasso Museum in Malaga by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Malaga on the 17th of September and the 1st of October, as part of the Chamber Music Series.
Top tip - Visit Malaga on a Sunday, as many of the art galleries and museums have free entry!
Flamenco
Many people associate flamenco with the summer ferias, but flamenco is something that you can enjoy year round, in places like Tablao Flamenco in Marbella Old Town. There is also a feria where you can enjoy flamenco and experience the passion and fun of Spanish culture in October. You’ll have to head to Fuengirola to see it, but it is definitely worth the trip. In 2024, the dates are the 6th to the 12th of October.
For the ultimate flamenco experience this autumn, head to the home of flamenco, Seville, to enjoy the Bienal flamenco festival, between the 11th of September and the 5th of October. Sevilla is under 3 hours’ drive from Marbella and an absolute must if you love flamenco.
Explore the great outdoors
We are blessed with some amazing countryside, just inland from Marbella, and hiking, mountain biking, horse riding and canyoning is a fantastic thing to do during autumn in Marbella. The temperatures are cool enough for you to really take on a challenge, like hiking La Concha – Marbella’s most famous mountain.
Events
There are some great events happening in Marbella over the autumn. You can join hundreds of walkers exploring Marbella on foot as part of the Marbella 4 Days Walking event from the 3rd to the 6th of October. There are 10-, 20- and 30-kilometer routes and you can join for just one day, or take part in all four.
You can also enjoy stand up comedy in English in Estepona on Wednesday 18th of October, with Stand Up Comedy Spain. You can see the shows going on during your trip.
On the 26th of October there’s an organized hike of the beautiful pine forest in Estepona’s Sierra Bermeja natural park by Senderismo Seville. It’s a Spanish company, but it’s easy to follow along, even if you don’t speak the language.
Ironman 70.3 comes to Marbella on October 27th 2024 and you can watch the amazing athletes complete this challenging triathlon, which starts and finishes in beautiful Puerto Banus.
Easy driving
We love it when the summer crowds disappear and the roads clear! It makes exploring the Costa del Sol, getting around, or visiting other places in Andalucia so much easier.
Cheaper flights and accommodation
When the kids are back to school and the cooler weather rolls in, it’s off-peak season and this means that flights are cheaper and holiday rentals and hotels lower their prices. That makes traveling to Marbella in autumn a great choice!
What to do in Marbella in autumn?
There’s so much to enjoy in Marbella in autumn, here are just a few recommendations -
Walk from Marbella to Puerto Banus along the seafront promenade.
Where to stay in Marbella in autumn?
It’s important when you choose your holiday rental for an autumn, rather than summer break, that you make sure that the property fits the bill. As there are cooler nights and shorter days, you need to make sure that the property is warm and comfortable, with sunny terraces to soak up the rays. Also, think about the location to ensure you make the most of your holiday.
Autumn is a great time of year for golf. So, if you are on a golf holiday, choose a vacation rental in an area with good access to multiple courses and close enough to all the amenities to give you flexibility if you just want to walk to get a bite to eat or go to the shops. You can view properties rentals in Nueva Andalucia, the golfer’s paradise, which would be perfect for an autumn golf getaway.
We have a large selection of great holiday rental properties in Costa del Sol, Puerto Banus and Marbella which you can browse on our website. As well as great vacation rentals, we also offer holiday extras such as golf club hire, car hire, excursions and more, plus you can get discounted green fees via our website.
We are here to make your holiday unforgettable, so if there’s something you need, please don’t hesitate to ask. We hope to see you in Marbella this autumn!
