Benalmadena Butterfly Farm

The Benalmadena Butterfly Garden is a must for nature lovers travelling to the Costa del Sol. This beautiful tropical garden is home to more than 1,500 exotic butterflies from all over the world. As you enter the Thai temple, you enter a world full of life and colour, with butterflies fluttering around you and lush vegetation including a waterfall and stream.

The Butterfly Farm tour is a fascinating journey of discovery, with opportunities to learn all about the life cycle of butterflies, from eggs to larvae, chrysalis and adult butterflies. Visitors can observe the butterflies at all stages of their development and, if they are lucky, they may even see some of the butterflies emerging from their chrysalises. In addition, the Butterfly Farm also has an exhibition room with information on the biology, behaviour and the different species of butterflies that inhabit the place, which gives an account of the conservation work carried out by the institution.

The Benalmádena Butterfly Farm is a peaceful and relaxing place, ideal for those who want a pleasant stopover when strolling around the outskirts of Málaga. The tropical atmosphere and natural beauty of the place make it perfect for photography and nature enjoyment. The experience of walking through the garden and seeing the butterflies in their natural habitat is truly magical and offers a unique insight into the life of these fascinating creatures.

Finally, if you want to take home a souvenir of your visit to the Butterfly Farm, there is a gift shop on site selling souvenirs, books and other butterfly-related items. You can also purchase an annual pass to the Butterfly Farm if you wish to return and visit again.
