Puerto Banús
Puerto Banús is located just west of Marbella, before you reach the small town of San Pedro de Alcàntara. People come from far and wide to ogle at the fabulous luxury Puerto Banús yachts while sipping a drink at one of the many open-air restaurants and bars. The setting is close to ideal, with its impressive mountain backdrop and ocean views.
Since its inception some forty years ago, the port has steadily grown and now features a casino, commercial shoppingcentre, a Corte Ingles department store, marine observatory and a multi-cinema with films shown with their original soundtrack.
Nightlife in Puerto Banús simply buzzes with your choice of alfresco bars, piano clubs and discos while during the day this is a window shopper´s dream with several of the world renowned fashions houses featured here, in addition to small, interesting shops and boutiques. Shopping in Puerto Banús is a veritable tourist attraction in itself with the likes of Versace, Louis Vuitton, Armani plus much more lining the edge of the port.
If you really want to have a bird's eye view of the port's magnificent position, then regular boat trips are the ideal solution and available on a regular basis from the central promenade. The beach adjacent to Puerto Banús holds a European blue flag.
Every Saturday morning at Puerto Banús, by the bullring, is a very popular street market where you can pick up all sorts of bargains.
