Puerto Banús

Marbella's glamorous marina

Since its opening in 1970, Puerto Banús has been the playground of the Mediterranean jet set. Superyachts line the marina, flagship boutiques from the world's leading fashion houses frame the waterfront, and the restaurants and beach clubs set the rhythm of the Marbella summer.

Property here is among the most coveted on the coast: frontline-marina apartments and penthouses with sweeping sea views, walking distance to everything that has made Banús a global byword for glamour.

Frontline living

The most sought-after homes are the frontline-marina apartments and penthouses that look directly over the yachts and out to sea. Behind them, a ring of established, gated complexes offers larger apartments, garaging and resort-style pools and gardens — the lock-up-and-leave formula that suits owners who split their time between Marbella and elsewhere. Terraces, sea views and proximity to the water are the currency here, and the best penthouses are tightly held.

The Banús lifestyle

Everything is on foot. The marina's boutiques, the casino, beach clubs and a dense concentration of restaurants sit at the door, while El Corte Inglés and the shops of the surrounding district are minutes away. The beaches of the Golden Mile begin just along the promenade, and Marbella's old town is a short drive east. In summer the port is the social heart of the coast; in winter it settles into an easy, year-round rhythm.

An investor's address

Few locations on the Costa del Sol combine lifestyle and yield as effectively. The Puerto Banús name commands premium short- and long-term rental demand throughout the year, making frontline apartments a resilient store of value as well as a place to enjoy.
