Hotels in Marbella
Marbella is a Costa del Sol resort town backed by the La Concha mountain, running from the palm-lined Golden Mile to the marina glamour of Puerto Banús. Its old town of whitewashed lanes sits a short walk from the Paseo Marítimo beach promenade.
Stays in Marbella span the historic Casco Antiguo around Plaza de los Naranjos, the resort strip of the Golden Mile toward Puerto Banús, and the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía inland. Beachfront resorts line the Paseo Marítimo, while boutique hotels cluster in the old town's narrow streets. Travelers come for the coastline, the marina scene at Puerto Banús, and a resort culture built around pools, spas and golf that suits couples, families and golf groups alike.

Local tips
- ✓Base yourself on the Golden Mile if you want beach access and easy taxis to Puerto Banús nightlife.
- ✓Stay in the old town for walkable tapas streets and a quieter, more local feel.
- ✓Choose Nueva Andalucía if golf is the priority, with several courses within a short drive.
- ✓Rent a car or budget for taxis if staying outside the center, since bus links thin out west of San Pedro.
- ✓Visit outside July and August for lower rates and a calmer Paseo Marítimo.
