Puerto Banus is situated in Nueva Andalusia, Marbella. It was built in 1970, just after the tourist boom of the Costa del Sol turned Malaga into a privileged place. Jose Banus and Noldi Schreck (who participated in the design of Beverly Hills) were the people who developed the project with the aim to create not only a luxury port, but also an exclusive area inside Marbella.
Puerto Banus is situated 64 kilometres away from Malaga in an area protected by the Penibetica Mountain Range, that produces a microclimate on the whole Costa del Sol of which Puerto Banus benefits from. Its average annual temperature is 18ºC (64ºF) although during the months of July and August it can reach up to 40º.
Puerto Banus is visited annually by a great amount of tourists, around 5 million people each year decide to visit this place, mainly visitors from the UK and the UAE.
A walk around Puerto Banus will show us some of the most luxurious shops that are situated in this marina, some examples are Christian Dior, Gucci, Bvlgari, Versace, D&G, amongst many others. A perfect place to go shopping, to see the latest fashion tendencies and eat in one of the many restaurants or bars in the area that offer a varied gastronomy with Spanish and international cuisine.
The nightlife in Puerto Banus is active and we’ll find pubs and discos where to have loads of fun if we enjoy the nights.
