Marbella is a great destination for both weekend breaks and holidays, with many beach apartments and holiday villas in popular areas. The town is well known as a popular holiday destination for celebrities and royalty. Enjoy the magnificent Golden Mile beach, stretching almost five kilometres from the centre of town to the famous harbour, the shops of the town centre and the town’s quaint Old Quarter, along with many more attractions.
Wining and dining in Marbella
The restaurants of Marbella offer a choice of traditional cuisine including the freshest fish, suckling pig, and roast lamb, along with delicious dishes from all over the world. Dine with the rich and famous in Puerto Banús, enjoy a meal in a beach front chiringuito, or head to the Old Quarter to visit many quaint eateries.
Fun in the sun all year long
While the climate on the Mediterranean is known for its sunny skies, Marbella takes this one step further. Sheltered as the town is by the Sierra Blanca mountains, Marbella has its own “micro-climate” with an average temperature of 19ºC virtually all year around.
Enrich your holiday memories with the sunny coast of Andalusia
If you'd like a moment's respite from the beaches and sea breeze, you might want to try trekking in Sierra de las Neves National Park. You'll get to the park's vicinity via a variety of roads, from larger ones like the A-355 route to steep and winding local roads. Sierra de las Nieves is a mountain range, with the highest peak - La Torrecilla - at 6,300 feet.
It is also worth trying your hand at the golf course and watching the artistry of the game of professionals from around the world. Within a six-mile radius of your vacation home in the central part of Marbella you will find at least five facilities of this type.
There are also a number of golf courses in the area.
