60 km. from Malaga Airport, Puerto Banus rivals Marbella for the right to be called the most popular holiday destination and expensive entertainment.
The eight-kilometer stretch of Costa del Sol from Puerto Banus to Marbella is called the 'Golden Mile' - here are the mansions, villas and castles of the world's richest people. On warm summer evenings, the respectable public moves to restaurants and bars on the coast, and then the proceeds of one day can provide the owner of the establishment with excellent well-being for the whole next year.
The central place in the city is the port - a brilliant exhibition of the most expensive yachts in the world and no less luxurious cars of their owners. Many tourists come to Puerto Banus specifically to take pictures against the backdrop of expensive Ferraris and Rolls-Royces.
Puerto Banus was opened in May 1970. Its 'heart' is a marina (yacht parking) with 900 seats. The most 'glamorous' place in Marbella.
Despite the abundance of ships in the harbor, the water here is unusually clean and transparent, and a huge number of large fish swim near the embankment, which is willingly fed by numerous tourists.
Of the city's attractions, we advise you to admire the monument to Giacomo Casanova and the monument 'Victory' by Zurab Tsereteli, installed on the shore.
After dark, a different life begins in the city - every evening here you can show off and see many celebrities at the same time (for example, Belmondo walking his dog or football player David Beckham). Puerto Banus is a real paradise for shoppers, with all the riches of fine boutiques, El Corte Ingles department store, Marina Banus shopping center, and on Saturdays a fair next to the bullfighting arena.
