Why Atma

Atma is Sanskrit for soul, or the inner self. We chose it because of the neighbour: a Buddhist monument built as a place for calm and reflection, five minutes on foot from the flat.

Living by the Stupa

The Stupa of Enlightenment is a Tibetan Buddhist monument, 33 metres tall and opened in October 2003. It is the largest stupa in the Western world, and it stands on a slope of the Sierra de Mijas, so the terrace around it looks straight out over the coast.

Its gold spire can be seen from far along the shoreline, which makes it an easy landmark when you are finding your way back. Inside there is a meditation room, and the walls are painted with scenes from the life of the Buddha.

For guests, the practical point is this: you are staying a short walk from one of the best viewpoints in Benalmádena, up on the hillside rather than on the busy seafront.
