Geographically at the midpoint of the Costa del Sol, bang in the middle of the Andalucian coastline and at the centre of world-class entertainment, jet-set Puerto Banus, shopping, nightlife, dining, dancing and real estate development is the world-renowned resort of Marbella.
A-list entertainers flock to its golden beaches and superb choice of places, palaces and hotels to stay in or make home (Melanie and Antonio are often seen about town as have been the ilk of Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Rod Stewart – to name a few).
Nightclubs, piano bars and dance-till-dawn party places are easily found – from the VIP (by invitation only) to the Irish Pub complete with ex-pat Mick the barman.
Cosmopolitan is a word that easily springs to mind when describing the mix of residents and tourists who flock here from all over the world for vacations, to live or to do business. English can be heard as frequently as Spanish – with a smorgasbord of other languages and accents in between.
With an average number of 320 sunny days a year, this destination offers plenty of opportunities to play golf at a huge number of superb courses, indulge in water sports, play on the beach, eat al fresco aside the Mediterranean and shop world-class brands. Is it any wonder Marbella is in such demand?
The area has been growing in size and popularity since the 1970’s, but the mesmerizing backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains, the glitter of the Mediterranean and the easy access to a still strong Andalusian passion make it as delectable now as ever before.
