Costa del Sol in the summer: Marbella

There is nothing comparable to southern Spain to enjoy the summer! The Costa del Sol in Malaga is home to many chic holiday resorts. The beautiful city of Marbella is such a place and is often regarded as a playground for the rich and famous. The town itself offers a superb blend of Moorish influences, a former Andalusian fishing village and a beautiful Mediterranean resort.

Of course, Marbella is not just a city for the upper classes of Europe. In fact, many families and couples are spending their holidays in Marbella. Thanks to a very pleasant microclimate, through the Sierra Blanca Mountains, Marbella has become a popular destination for tourists who want to enjoy the sun, beach and sea. Marbella is luxury holiday at its finest and the city is surrounded by an exquisite Mediterranean coast, with great hotels on the Costa del Sol.

The city offers a wide range of recreational opportunities in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Why don´t you spend an evening in one of the many elegant restaurants or bistros? Marbella’s nightlife is also highly attractive and the numerous clubs and discos offer an ideal destination for night owls. A particularly well-known marina, Puerto Banus, is Marbella’s centre of nightlife, with its famous alfresco bars, piano clubs and discos.

In Marbella can be practiced a large number of sports; furthermore boasts the municipality some of the best Golf courses along the Costa del Sol.

A particular aspect of the town is the two-sided atmosphere. Marbella has the upscale, bustling cosmopolitanism, which is characteristic for large tourist resorts, but also provides a glimpse into the quiet heart of Andalucia and the Costa del Sol. Two large parks, an Arab fortress dating from the 9th Century in the city centre and the two city beaches provide visitors with more than just a small insight into Spanish life.

The streets of Marbella are decorated with some works of the celebrated Spanish artist Salvador Dali and his horse and rider sculpture is located in the city centre. With beautiful beaches such as Playa de la Bajadilla and Playa de la Fontanilla, Marbella is an idyllic setting.

With its wide promenades lined with palm trees, its sunny climate and its excellent beaches, it’s no wonder that Marbella magically attracts many visitors from around the globe! Let yourself be seduced by this magical place and book a suitable accommodation, for example, in a Costa del Sol beach hotel or an Costa del Sol apartment.
