Port of Marbella
Puerto Banús was conceived by José Banús in the late 1960s. He was looking for something that would develop Marbella economically and as a tourist destination. He devised the look and feel of Puerto Banús: a beautiful Andalusian white village with a luxury marina in front. Since the 1970s, Puerto Banús has become one of Spain’s most famous marinas. A visit to the marina can immerse you in a world of wealth and luxury.
Whether you look left or right into the harbour, more than 900 yachts bob up and down on the water. In the shop windows, you will see many luxury brands such as Gucci and Chanel. Chic cocktails are served at the beach clubs. Are you a car fanatic? Then you will also be amazed in Puerto Banús! The most luxurious cars drive around here. All brands, all colours and all sizes… Spot a nice four-wheeler and take a picture with it. The nickname Saint-Tropez of Spain did not just happen…
