The Benalmádena Stupa is a striking 33-meter-high Buddhist monument, built in 2003 and one of the tallest in the Western world. Set on a hilltop, its gleaming white dome and golden spire rise above terraced gardens with olive trees and cacti. Visitors can walk meditation paths, spin prayer wheels, and enjoy tranquil views of the coast. The site hosts occasional teachings and retreats, offering a unique spiritual oasis on the Costa del Sol.
