1. General
Marbella is a very sought after place on the Costa del Sol. It is a vibrant city, always encouraging people to stay active. Because of the presence of clubs, shops, golf courses, etc., there is always something to experience here. Marbella may be a glamorous place, but it is very accessible for everyone.
2. Sights
If you would like to explore Marbella, it is recommended to definitely pass by the historic city center. Many people often overlook this, but here you can stroll through the narrow white streets and discover nice stores and art galleries.
At Plaza de Los Naranjos, which is located in the historic center, you can stay in one of the bars or restaurants that are present. The square has not got its name by coincidence, because it is characterized by the many orange trees that can be found there. It was created in 1485 with a typical Spanish-Christian design. Here you can do perfect sightseeing and explore the monuments on and around the square. Stop by Casa Consistorial (now converted into a town hall) and be sure to pass by Iglesia Mayor de la Encarnación!
If you want to take a break in nature, you can visit Parque La Alameda, located south of the historic city center. This 18th century park is very popular with its inhabitants who love to walk and rest in the shade of lush plants and trees. Throughout the year there are also many activities organized such as markets and festivals.
If you leave the Alameda park and walk towards the sea, you will arrive at la Avenida del Mar. This is a beautiful wide promenade where statues of Salvador Dalí are exhibited, and the street looks like a surreal open air museum. Also here you can stroll or enjoy a nice drink in one of the bars.
3. Culinary delights
Marbella is the destination where you can enjoy the variety of gastronomy the city has to offer all year round. If you are walking through the historic center of Marbella and would like to have lunch or dinner on the spot, you can visit restaurant Zozoï. Here they serve delicious seasonal dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients.
In addition, at Plaza de Los Naranjos you will find Restaurante Paco Jiménez. Here the chef prepares the most refined dishes from traditional Mediterranean and international cuisine.
If you want to stay along the coast, that’s no problem at all! Also here there are plenty of great restaurants and bars such as Soleo Marbella.

The design inside brings you to a classic, elegant and glamorous ship and the mirrors ensure that you never lose sight of the sea.

That’s why thousands of tourists come here every year to enjoy all the luxuries that Marbella has to offer.

Here you can dine extensively along the beach or in one of the narrow white streets of the historic center. And if you want to party afterwards, Marbella is the place to be!
Just behind the coast you can go out at La Suite Marbella. The 600m2 of club space combines an NYC loft feeling with the Roman heritage of the hotel where La Suite is located. In addition, La Terrasse is the club’s magical outdoor location. Top national and international DJs regularly play here.
Another attraction in Marbella is Olivia Valère. This is a sophisticated nightclub where everyone can have a nice evening. From party people who want to indulge themselves on the dance floor to people who want to relax on the outdoor terrace.

If you cannot get enough of shopping and would like to go a step further, it is best to pass by Puerto Banús. This fashionable port is about 15 minutes from Marbella and is a paradise for shoppers.

7. Sports & Leisure
With more than 50 golf courses, the Costa de sol is also called Costa del Golf. Some of these golf courses are located in Marbella and are definitely worth a try.
