Founded in 1954 and part of the Bupa Group since 1989, Sanitas is one of Spain's most established private health insurers — with a medical network reaching across Andalusia · Málaga Province and the rest of the country.
The Costa del Sol is one of Spain's biggest international regions — a stretch of Málaga province running from Nerja in the east through Málaga city, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Mijas to Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona in the west. It is home to long-established British, Scandinavian, German, Dutch, Irish and other Northern-European communities, plus a fast-growing remote-work scene.
It is one of the strongest private health-insurance markets in the country, driven by retirees, second-home owners, families at international schools, NLV and DNV applicants and long-term residents who want faster specialist access, private clinics and English-speaking support when arranging cover. Private insurance is also widely used alongside the public system or an S1 form.
