At Lew Hoad, your wedding is more than an event, it’s an experience. We’re committed to exceeding expectations and creating a celebration that resonates long after the last dance.
Fuengirola enjoys a sun-kissed Mediterranean climate year-round, but the ideal windows for your wedding are late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to mid-October).
During late spring, daytime temperatures hover between 22 °C and 26 °C while gardens burst into bloom, and early autumn offers sea-warmed days of 26 °C to 30 °C with gentle evening breezes.
These shoulder-season months bring fewer crowds and more comfortable conditions for outdoor ceremonies and photography.
If you prefer a cosy indoor celebration, winter (December to March) is mild (16 °C–18 °C) and often comes with attractive off-peak rates, whereas July and August tend to be very hot (above 32 °C), busy and best avoided for outdoor events.
Your guests will find plenty to enjoy when they’re not celebrating. They might stroll the three-kilometre Paseo Marítimo, pausing at beachside chiringuitos for fresh espetos and sunset views, then explore the historic Sohail Castle with its panoramic sea vistas, seasonal concerts and night markets.
Families and nature lovers will love Bioparc Fuengirola’s jungle-style habitats, while culture seekers can wander the charming lanes of Los Boliches, sampling tapas and browsing artisan shops. Adventurers can try jet-skiing, paddle-boarding or kite-surfing at Playa de los Boliches, while others may prefer a day-trip up to white-washed Mijas Pueblo for donkey-taxi rides and flamenco shows.
For wine enthusiasts, half-day tours to nearby Axarquía bodegas offer tastings of sweet muscatel and bold reds, and those seeking relaxation can unwind in Fuengirola Marina, savouring seafood by the water or embarking on a sunset sailing cruise.
