Marbella - Costa del Sol - Andalucia

Nowhere is sophistication more apparent than in Marbella. Since the Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe chose the his finca on the outskirts of a small fishing village called Marbella as his holiday estate in 1947 – in the 1950’s, this became the Marbella Club. Since then, rich and famous beautiful people from around the world have flocked to Marbella.

Marbella and Puerto Banus today still both retain their star quality and reputation for a sparkling social life. Luxurious secluded villas, well-tended public gardens and parks; wide, clean boulevards and the quaint, historic, Marbella old town littered at every turn with charming squares and unspoiled courtyards are all waiting to be discovered. Marbella has some of the best beaches on the whole Costa del Sol, with beach restaurants ranging from quiet traditional fish restaurants to more contemporary hip cafes with live music and dancing into the wee hours. Marbella is the place to see and be seen, a hub of activity all year round, with plenty to do for all ages, tastes and budgets. Marbella literally means "beautiful sea", which, as the name suggests, is one of Marbella's most beautiful assets, attracting residents and visitors alike year after year.
