1. Wander the old part of town

The luxurious holiday rentals in Puerto Banús contrast with the charm of the historic centre of Marbella, which still retains the essence of a small fishing village. The narrow cobbled alleys, preserving an irregular layout typical of the Arabic era, are flanked by whitewashed houses with balconies full of colourful and bright geraniums. Quaint cafes on pretty corners offer you a selection of the best coffees. Pretty squares like Plaza de los Naranjos, with magnificent noble buildings such as the City Hall, House of the Magistrate and Chapel of St James, draw the attention of bystanders and tourists. The Alcazaba or the Castle are also worth visiting. Let the heritage and artistic legacy of Marbella surprise you.

Luxury is not only linked to upmarket boutiques or exclusive nightclubs. Diving is another of the city's great attractions, where you will find several diving centres that offer courses or day dives from Marbella to Gibraltar. You can explore the impressive marine world beneath the surface and even the occasional sunken ship. Enjoy the underwater world and discover the richness of unique marine life. All the attractions are a short distance from your villa in Marbella.

5. Time to hit the beach!

Venus Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Marbella, between the old fishing port and the marina. Explore the extensive services and lots of bars and restaurants along the busy promenade. A less crowded beach is Cabopino, ideal for naturism enthusiasts. The virgin dunes constitute a faithful reflection of the Costa del Sol in its purest state. Puerto Banús Beach, Río Verde and Duque beaches are also great stretches of sand for spending a day basking in the sun, enjoying water sports and feeling the laid-back vibes. Alternatively, find an affordable holiday letting in Fuengirola and explore the beaches in Marbella and beyond.

6. Get stunning views of Marbella

The most rewarding feeling when reaching the peak of a mountain is the satisfaction of accomplishing an effort and, of course, getting stunning views from a privileged position. Climb up to La Concha, and after a 4-hour hike to the top, you will get sweeping views of Marbella and the Mediterranean. On clear days, you can see the mountains of Morocco! This hike is suitable for all fitness levels as it is not very demanding. The effort is worth the views. Make sure you wear comfortable walking gear and start your ascent!

7. Puerto Banús, a yachting paradise

The day Prince Max Egon’s car broke down in Marbella by chance marked the beginning of a glamour and exclusivity era when he decided to build the first luxury hotel there. As years passed, the town became popular, drawing in celebrities and HNWI. The prestigious marina, built by José Banús, has 377 dockages, several sailing competitions and lessons for the little ones and is a reference for all yacht lovers. So, dock your boat or rent one fully staffed to enjoy the blue Mediterranean waters during the sail. It’s time to set sail!
