In our days, Puerto Banus is probably the most famous area from Marbella. The marina area is home to some of the most expensive yachts. The Ferrari cars are literally abundant and the marina is also home to designer shops, boutiques and to the great nightlife of the town, not to mention the excellent apartments to rent in Marbella

Puerto Banus from Marbella is considered part of the new town. However, beside the new town area, there is the old town of Marbella, which is also worth visiting. La Plaza de los Naranjos and a maze of narrow streets are home to small shops, bars and restaurants. The old part of this resort  is a great place to find a place to sit and observe the local Spanish life.

Marbella is also a popular destination for those who are looking to play a round or two of golf.  There is a multitude of golf courses near the stretch of coast, so there are plenty options for everybody.  Marbella is one of the tourist towns from Costa del Sol. This fact is often neglected by most tourists. This is because it is considered too exclusive for most people. However, things cannot be more different. This resort has actually a lot of offers for tourists who have less money for their vacations.
