Look after yourself! Get yourself a haircut, get your nails done or sign up to a gym

Malaga’s sport city: Ciudad Deportiva de Carranque
“City” is no an exaggeration when it comes to the Ciudad Deportiva de Carranque. This sports complex is enormous! In fact, this elite level facility is used by local amateur and pro athletes but it’s also open to the general public. It’s ideal for those who want to get a proper workout, using proper facilities, but who don’t want to (or can’t) commit to a gym membership. Carranque has practically everything you need: a running track, indoor and outdoor pools, a […]
The Place Soho
If you’re going for a complete change of look, head to The Place – a one-stop shop in the fashionable Soho district. Comprising the Art-Shampop hairdressers, the My Life Tattoo parlour and the Disaster Street Wear clothing shop, you will find some of Malaga’s most alternative-looking people in here for sure!
Sweety Nails
In need of a quick fix-up for your nails? Pop into Sweety Nails, right in the city centre, in the Entorno Thyssen. If time’s of the essence, this tiny side-street salon can, more often than not, do walk-ins. This Chinese-run shop is filled with beauty products, nail polish and Oriental decorations. Added bonus – they speak English.
Bioshop El Cambio
What was once just a small shop on Calle Compañía, El Cambio has grown to become a large supermarket on Calle Carretería with a large selection of vegan and ecological products. The self-proclaimed “vegan and organic supermarket with most variety in Malaga” was conceived with the “understanding that we are part of nature and responsible for it”. All types of dietary needs are catered for whether you’re following a gluten-free, lactose-free or raw food diet. Run by Raquel Cervantes and […]
Gyms in the centre of Malaga
If you’ve chosen Malaga for your new home, you’re probably going to need somewhere to burn off those newly developed excesses you’ve acquired (especially if you want that beach bod!) There are plenty of gyms to choose from in the city but, as you might expect because of their dimensions, not so many in the city centre. Head to the western side of the Guadalmedina river or towards El Ejido and you’re spoilt for choice. To get a membership, you […]
COCCO Beauty
‘Centres of Cosmetic Care & Organic Beauty’. That’s what the letters in COCCO Beauty stand for. Though they specialise in a wide range of manicures (gel nails, acrylic nails, decorations…), this now long-established chain of salons also does pedicures, eyelashes and various spa treatments. Either show up on the day or make an appointment and treat yourself to a relaxing massage or face treatment (you deserve it!) or get beach ready fast in their epilation studio. Would love to come […]
Hammam Al Ándalus Málaga
It’s hard to describe the Hammam Al Ándalus experience… but you’ll certainly come out of there feeling much more relaxed than when you went in! This unexpected oasis of calm, right in the city centre, is particularly welcoming after a long day taking in the sights of the city. The stunning decor at the Hammam Ál Andalus is true to the tradition of Andalucía’s Arabic past, whether the coffered ceilings, arches, murals and mosaics, or the beautiful skylights and delicate […]
DK Peluquería barber shop
Though DK Peluquería is described as a barbershop, in reality it’s a unisex hairdressers – so don’t be put off ladies! Compared to the more boho vibe of the Entorno Thyssen in which it is located, DK Peluquería stands out thanks to its retro feel, with big, comfortable vintage barber chairs and hairdressers dressed in aprons with leathery details. You’ll certainly be able to find a cheaper haircut in Malaga city centre, but these guys certainly know what they’re doing. […]
