Marbella
One of the original resorts on the Costa del Sol, Marbella is a fabulous holiday destination only 30 minutes from Malaga airport and renowned for its popularity with the rich and famous. Nowadays, however, you don’t have to be a member of the jet set to enjoy this thriving city which boasts up to 320 days of sunshine annually thanks to its own unique microclimate.

Although Marbella is a bustling city, it still retains much of its Spanish charm. The lesser-known old town features stately buildings exemplifying traditional Spanish architecture and exploring its back streets will reveal many traditional shops and cafes. Marbella’s old town is a great way to escape from the modern world and become acquainted with the famous Spanish slow-paced and relaxed way of life. To get even further away, the spectacular Sierra Bermeja Mountains sit behind the resort ready to be explored by those eager to absorb the views of Marbella’s beautiful coastline.

Marbella’s facilities for water sports, horse riding, tennis and even paragliding mean that even the most adventurous holiday-maker won’t be disappointed.
