Puerto Banús: Marina, Beaches and Andalusian History

Harbour and Water

The marina in Puerto Banús has 915 berths. From Puerto Banús, yachts and sailboats can be chartered with or without a skipper. Luxury yachts are chartered from Puerto Banús in Marbella for 2, 4 or 8 hours. In Puerto Banús, sailboats or catamarans can be rented for one or more days on the Costa del Sol.

The water-based activities differ according to boat type, rental duration and whether a skipper is included. These three characteristics can be weighted separately: short charter periods can be compared with day rentals, while the question of whether to have a skipper remains a separate point of comparison.

Those wishing to structure their stay by theme can first consider the water-based activities by type and duration, and then by the destination’s other main attractions.

Beach and Indulgence

Banús Beach has sun loungers directly on the beach and offers views of Marbella and La Concha mountain. The Banús Beach beach-club experience combines gastronomy, music and a carefully selected cocktail menu. At Puerto Banús–Levante Beach, assisted sea bathing with amphibious chairs is available; advance reservation is required.

The beach attractions focus on different aspects, without requiring you to combine them into a single programme. The views, sun loungers, beach club and assisted bathing can be considered separately for personal planning; with this bathing service, the reservation must be arranged in advance.

Culture and History

Puerto Banús was inaugurated in 1970 with more than 1,500 guests. The destination was founded based on the concept of a Mediterranean village in the Andalusian style. The Torre del Duque is located next to the main entrance to Puerto Banús, was recently restored and is a watchtower from the Nasrid defensive system dating from the 13th to the 15th century.

The historical information offers two different perspectives: the origins of the destination and the history of a specific building. These aspects can be considered separately for personal planning, without mixing them with the current leisure activities.

Events and Orientation

Marbella Arena is an auditorium and multipurpose venue in Puerto Banús that offers concerts, theatre, monologues and sporting events, among other activities, throughout the year. The Puerto Banús Tourist Office offers a multilingual virtual assistant that provides personalised tours in up to 95 languages. Cívitas Puerto Banús has more than 100 luxury boutiques.

When your interests vary, you can organise the stage programme, virtual tours and boutiques as separate themes. The range extends from events and a multilingual digital assistant to a large number of shops in the luxury segment. You can consciously keep these aspects separate when planning your day, depending on which one you wish to prioritise.

When comparing a holiday apartment in Puerto Banús, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies on the respective property pages. The specific accommodation therefore remains separate from the characteristics of the destination and its offerings.

Other destinations at the same level are Artola, Las Chapas, Elviria, Urbanización Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro De Alcántara.
