Marbella

With its cosmopolitan confidence and an unbeatable climate, Marbella has been Spain’s most desirable resort for over 50 years. Marbella might be chic but it’s not exclusively for the wealthy.

Loved for its glamour, golf and a golden mile of hotels, clubs and casinos, Marbella is popular for good reason; sheltered by a coastal mountain range, you’ll be basking in a microclimate which provides an average annual temperature of 18°c and enjoys amazing views of the sea and mountains.

And there is still plenty of the city’s original beauty to be discovered in the old town. Pass through spotless alleys, fancy shops and classic Spanish churches to find the soul of old Marbella, Plaza de los Naranjos. On hot summer nights, it turns into a buzzing open air restaurant: just sit back and drink in the atmosphere.
