On the Costa del Sol, the terrace is another room of the house —and often the most enjoyed one—. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, investing in good outdoor and terrace furniture means getting the most out of your home in Mijas, Marbella or Fuengirola. In this 2026 guide we explain how to choose it and what to keep in mind.
Materials that stand up to sun and sea breeze
The Mediterranean climate calls for materials that resist humidity, salt and UV. The most recommended are:
- Aluminium — lightweight, rust-free and low maintenance
- Synthetic fibre (rattan) — weatherproof with a natural look
- Teak and treated woods — warm and very durable
- Technical outdoor fabrics — for cushions that won't fade or hold water
Create zones: dining, chill-out and shade
A well-planned terrace defines areas: an outdoor dining space for summer dinners, a chill-out zone with sofas and low tables, and good shade solutions (pergolas, parasols or awnings). Add warm lighting and plants to complete the mood. For interior inspiration, see our guide to living room furniture in Mijas.
Indoors and outdoors in harmony
Ideally your terrace should speak the same language as the interior: the same palette, repeated materials and a smooth transition. At MÁXIMO we design both spaces as one, through our interior design service.
