Puerto Banus

Built by Don Jose Banus in 1970, it was the Costa del Sol’s first pleasure harbour, and its impact has been so great that it is no longer simply a marina, having become a residential area for high-class tourism. The harbour is not only a berthing place for some of the world’s most spectacular yachts and sailing ships, it is also home to some of Marbella’s premier tourist establishments.
