The Dream

Marbella offers an array of lifestyle options that appeal to a variety of people, it is one of the reasons its population is so diverse! It is famous throughout the world for its glamour, the exclusive nightlife venues located in Puerto Banús and on the Golden Mile, but also for its history and charm, and sun seeker adventures.

The Old Town with its narrow cobbled streets and flower-filled plazas is packed with delightful shops and art galleries selling pretty clothes and accessories, as well as handmade wares and unique paintings and sculptures. Whilst the tropical gardens alongside the long marble promenade and miles of sandy beaches are the best place to feel relaxed and connected to the beauty of the world.

The beaches are run for miles and they are one of the main reasons most visitors come to Marbella - to enjoy the sun, sea and sand, which has been drawing expatriate communities since the 1950's when Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe fell in love with the place and built a beachfront house, drawing all the A-list Hollywood celebs.

Marbella has it all: beaches for families, couples, friends and singles alike. Some of the beaches have been awarded Blue Flags (an eco-label). In 2018, Marbella council announced its new "Beach Plan" to increase lifeguard presence on the surrounding beaches, so they are also safe.

Marbella is also named the "Golfer’s Paradise" because it has 16 golf courses. Since golf first arrived in the area nearly a century ago, its popularity has grown to the extent that the Costa del Sol now ranks as a top golf destination worldwide.

Also, whatever your kids are into, you’ll find a club that will feed their ambition: gymnastics, football, basketball, chess, swimming, taekwondo… Plus all private, international and public schools offer after-school activities and clubs.
