The Bioparc of Fuengirola is an animal park located in the city center dedicated entirely to nature conservation and the preservation of tropical species. At first, when we think of Bioparc, we might assume it’s a regular zoo, but that’s not the case. Bioparc is a very special enclosure that deviates from the typical conventional zoos we all know.
Bioparc Fuengirola, an incredible animal park
One of the great features of this park is that they recreate every detail of the natural habitat for each species. This means that animals are not confined in typical cages but in enclosures perfectly adapted to how they would live in the wild.
In the case of Bioparc Fuengirola, they have managed to impressively recreate various tropical zones of the world, such as the Island of Madagascar, Equatorial Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Indo-Pacific Islands. In these areas, they not only try to reproduce the vegetation but also aim to recreate the interaction and organization among species as they would in a wild environment. In other words, in the same park enclosure, you can find different species of animals belonging to the same ecosystem, coexisting, just as they would in their natural habitat.
This has made Bioparc Fuengirola a worldwide reference among animal parks. By prioritizing animal welfare and creating such suitable facilities, the animals develop very natural behavior.

How to get to Bioparc Fuengirola
Getting to Bioparc Fuengirola is quite easy as it is located in the city center, very close to the highway and public transportation.
- If you come walking: the park is next to the Fuengirola Town Hall, 15 minutes from Sohail Castle, and 5 minutes from the beach.
- If you come by Car: on the N-340, take exit 208. In these cases, we recommend parking at Alfil parking (right next to the park) as buying your Bioparc ticket gives you a 50% discount if you park your car inside. To do this, you must request your discount from the store staff, so when you go to pick up the car and pay for parking, they discount half of the amount.
- If you come by Train: when you get off at the Fuengirola station of RENFE Cercanías, you will have to walk 600 meters straight southwest. If you come by train, remember that you have the combined Bioparc + RENFE Cercanías ticket, which can save you the cost of the train.
