Considered to be the most exclusive destination on the Costa del Sol, Marbella boasts one of the best-preserved old towns in Andalusia, along with Puerto Banús.
Among luxury yachts and high-end boutiques, the most elegant face of Marbella also surprises with its beaches; easily accessible sands with views of the marina, gentle waves and all the comforts within arm’s reach of your towel, from watersports to exclusive beach bars.
Under the fragrant shade of orange trees, this historic Renaissance square founded after the Christian conquest in the 15th century is the beating heart of Marbella, where history coexists with the hustle and bustle of terraces and the slow pace of southern Spain.
Apart from Puerto Banús and the jet set glamour that popularised it, this city on the coast of Andalusia boasts a lovely historic quarter that you can see on a stroll from the Renaissance Plaza de los Naranjos.
In Marbella, the dining is every bit as good as the sunbathing: from the barbecue coals at Dani García, to the most refined Japanese-Peruvian flavours, or the beach huts (or chiringuitos), that embody the spirit of Andalusia, the city offers a sumptuous banquet on the Mediterranean coast.
Nestled between the whitewashed alleys of the old town and the brightness of the Seafront Promenade, this centuries-old green haven, with its cool shade and tiled benches, harks back to a more traditional Marbella that, despite the rapid growth and wealth brought by the jet set, still retains its essence in certain spots.
