A MAJOR new family leisure complex is set to be open in Malaga in 2026.
The 15,000-square-metre entertainment project, near Plaza Mayor shopping centre, will feature everything from a roller coaster to the region’s biggest bowling alley.
The developers aim to attract three million visitors annually with its extensive amusement area, bumper cars and themed mini-golf course, SUR reports.
Fuengirola-based company Sould Park is investing €15 million in the project, which will be located next to the Porcelanosa shop and the coastal motorway.

The bowling alley, which will be among the largest in Andalucia, will include a sports bar and karaoke rooms where visitors can record their performances.
The complex will also feature VIP areas for private events and a 2,500-square-metre mini-golf course.

“We aim to provide a family leisure space that currently doesn’t exist in Malaga,” said Miguel Ángel Notario, founder and president of Sould Park.
The complex will operate on a pay-per-attraction basis using a dedicated card system, and is expected to create 80 direct jobs and 40 indirect positions.
The company is currently awaiting final permissions from Malaga city council before beginning construction.
