About the Port
Built in the 1970s along the Costa del Sol of southeast Spain, Puerto Banús blends the whitewashed charm of an Andalusian fishing village with the polish of a modern marina town. Rows of yachts line the harbor, framed by mountains and a coastline that has long drawn a well-heeled international crowd. Boutiques, cafés, and waterfront promenades invite unhurried strolling just steps from the pier.
A few miles east, the resort city of Marbella offers golf courses, sandy beaches, and an old quarter worth a wander, making it an easy pairing with a stop in Puerto Banús. Travelers come for the marina's polished atmosphere and Mediterranean light, whether browsing the shops, watching the boats, or simply relaxing at a seaside café. The compact scale of the port makes it simple to explore on foot in a single visit.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Puerto Banus .
Marina Yacht-Watching
Stroll the harborfront lined with superyachts and spot the occasional supercar parked along the quay. It's a short, flat walk right from the pier, easy to fit into any amount of free time.
Explore Marbella's Old Town
Wander the whitewashed lanes, orange-tree-shaded plazas, and Moorish walls of Marbella's historic quarter, about a 20-minute taxi or bus ride east. Casco Antiguo rewards an hour or two of unhurried exploring.
Relax on a Costa del Sol Beach
Settle in at a beach club near the marina or in Marbella for Mediterranean sun and sea without straying far from the port. Loungers and seaside cafés make it simple to unwind between bouts of shopping.
