Things to do in Puerto Banus

Welcome to Puerto Banus!

Puerto Banus is a luxury yacht harbour, a benchmark in Europe. It is inseparably linked to Marbella, the two great tourist enclaves of international fame and prestige.

In this very interesting article with original photos you can find out more about the beginnings of Marbella.

A fishing village surrounded by farmland, where one day in 1947 Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe arrived in search of suitable land to attract the international jet set.

Within a few years it became a favourite destination for international high society, royalty, singers and actors.

You don’t want to walk, so rent a bike. If you don’t want to cycle, rent an electric bike.
