Marbella

Marbella, meaning Beautiful Sea in Spanish, is a world renowned destination located in the Sunshine Coast. It lives up to both names: long sandy beaches bordering the clear, sparkling blue Mediterranean boasting the best possible sunny weather year-round.

Through its history it has become a marvellous city offering all that visit the true taste of Andalusia: whitewashed buildings bordered by narrow streets, wonderful flower filled plazas and corners, horse drawn carriages lazily taking its passengers on a relaxed tour through yesteryear, friendly and open people, quaint churches and exciting nightlife. Storybook beaches; countless golf courses that challenge any player no matter what their handicap; sports marinas world renowned; an unbeatable natural surrounding on the slopes of the sierra that protects the entire area, offering it an enviable microclimate; world famous hotels; restaurants; shopping centers and boutiques catering to all needs and an exciting and intense nightlife make Marbella the ideal setting for your holidays or business meetings and conventions – even if you mix them together.

Marbella is close to the major metropolitan areas and cities imbibed in rich history and tradition such as: Málaga, Córdoba, Granada and Seville; or the enticing and mysterious North African destinations, just a ferry ride away from Algeciras – gateway to Africa and its also millenary cultures. What was once a sleepy port and fisherman’s village, has now grown up into a vibrating and cosmopolitan city… the perfect blend between tradition and modernity.
