Puerto Banus is a must-see place in Marbella. Located to the east of the city centre, it is Spain's best-known marina. A symbol of luxury, it is full of yachts, sports cars and celebrities.
It is the perfect place to have a drink and party in one of the many clubs in Puerto Banus.
Take advantage of the golfing facilities
Marbella is one of the most beautiful golf destinations and attracts thousands of golf lovers every year. With almost 50 golf courses, there are plenty of options and there is something for everyone.
The mild and temperate climate almost every day of the year is one of the main reasons for the popularity of golf in this part of Spain.
Discover Dali's sculptures in Avenida Del Mar
Avenida Del Mar is an open-air museum, as you will be able to stroll through this 5000 m2 space while discovering the sculptures of the famous Salvador Dali.
In fact, no less than 10 sculptures are on display in the open air on Avenida Del Mar - the avenue of the sea.
Take a breath of fresh air along the sea promenade
There is a fully developed sea promenade, which is 7 km long and connects La Bajadilla beach and Puerto Banús.
Whether you're cycling or walking, feel free to take in the air and sea spray as you stroll along this palm-lined coastline, for example to watch the sunset as you head to Puerto Banús for a drink.
Discover the remains of Las Murallas del Castillo
In the heart of the historic centre, you can discover the remains of the castle that once stood there while admiring the remains of Las Murallas del Castillo. It is an impressive place that is well worth a visit.
Part of the castle and the walls are currently being rebuilt.
Going to discover the seabed
Many specialists agree that Marbella is one of the best diving spots in Spain.
Whether you've never been diving before or are a seasoned diver, there are many facilities to help you discover the sea bed in Marbella.
Taste Marbella's specialities
To discover Marbella without taking the time to discover its culinary specialities would be a heresy! Between tapas, churros, paella or fried fish, lovers of good gastronomy will not be disappointed.
Whether you are in the historic city centre, along the beach or in Puerto Banus, really take the time to discover the local specialities – you won't regret it!
Organize a boat trip
Take advantage of the many services at your disposal to cut yourself off from the world for a day or for a few days by renting a boat to get away from it all. Enjoy the freedom of discovering the region and the beaches with this means of transport.
It is possible to rent a boat to stay along the coast, even if you don't have a boating licence.
Shopping
And yes, Marbella is also a must for shopping lovers! The shops have multiplied in recent years and you will find all your favourite brands.
You can go to La Cañada, a huge shopping centre of over 100,000 m2 if you want to save time by finding over 300 shops in one place.
