About Marbella

Marbella is one of the most exclusive summer resorts in Europe, an old town that stills preserves its character. It is located south of Spain by the Mediterranean Sea in the "Costa del Sol". Marbella is close to major cities and legendary cultural centres: Málaga, Granada and Seville. Marbella has the typical Andalusian flavour. It is well serviced by two close international airports: Málaga and Gibraltar.

The average temperature is 19º C and the sun shines for 320 days a year with fewer than 50 days of rain. Marbella has been called "golfers paradise". You can play golf every day and even at night in the first European illuminated golf course. Marbella is famous for its lovely beaches, countless golf courses, world-renowned yacht harbors, beautiful natural surroundings, luxury hotels, shopping centres and a vibrant night life.
