Marbella, the Dream Lifestyle
Marbella is considered one of Spain’s most glamorous cities and among the top vacation destinations. The entire municipality is located within the Andalusian Mediterranean Basin, on the southernmost edge, only an hour’s drive from Gibraltar and a short ferry ride from the African coast.
Its origins date back to Roman times, with abundant archaeological remains. It also preserves two towers from the Arab period and the walls of the Castle. From the Christian era, it retains the Church of the Incarnation, the Corregidor’s House, and the Hospital of San Juan de Dios, all located in its exceptional old town.
Marbella offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle in Spain. Just 60 km from Malaga, it is filled with peaceful spots to relax and enjoy.
The Costa del Sol offers visitors the highest concentration of golf courses in continental Europe, with more than 60 courses along the Mediterranean coast, making it the perfect destination for any golf enthusiast due to their variety and high quality standards.
The Costa del Sol is only two hours from the Sierra Nevada ski resort, making it an unforgettable experience for snow sports lovers.
Sea and Mountains
Marbella has a typical Mediterranean climate. Protected to the north by the Sierra Blanca mountains, it enjoys a unique microclimate with an annual average temperature of 18°C, often described as the best in all of Europe.
It is the sunniest spot on Spain’s southern coast, with the highest number of sunny days on the continent. Thanks to these exceptional features, Marbella offers an outdoor lifestyle year-round.
The municipality also includes natural areas in the mountains, where chestnut, cherry, fern, and Spanish fir trees grow.
On the other hand, Marbella’s coast lies on the Alboran Sea, situated at the confluence of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. This southern latitude makes Andalusia’s coastline one of the richest in Europe. The extensive stretch between Estepona and Marbella provides one of the area’s main identities, both in terms of landscape and in cultural and economic aspects.
Marbella, Gastronomy and Leisure
Marbella’s gastronomy and leisure offerings have cemented it as a top holiday destination for tourists.
Some of the most important clubs in the country are located in Marbella, including Olivia Valère and Puente Romano, both nominated for the Golden Moon Awards, a global ranking of top nightlife venues organized by the International Nightlife Association. Recognized for their DJ line-ups, live concerts, high-end gastronomy, and luxurious VIP experiences, these venues add a distinctive edge to the Western capital of the Costa del Sol.
The city boasts a scenic promenade and one of the “most luxurious” marinas on the Costa del Sol, Puerto Banús. This area offers a variety of luxury shops and fine dining options.
Sports are also prominent, as Marbella has the highest density of golf courses in Spain, making it one of the most popular destinations for golf enthusiasts.
