- 4 bedroom villa to rent in Marbella, Costa del SolJuly 2022 ★★★★★Lovely stay in large villa with lovely garden and pool. House large and spacious and as described on site. Would have expected given other villas that we have stayed in and late flight times and travelling with young children that a welcome pack with basics were in the house. No black bags for garbage or salt/ pepper, etc in the house so food shop essential as soon as arrive. Very built up house area and although lovely you definitely require a car as most roads have no pavements and long walk to first shop on the road. Any issues we had dealt with straight away, no bbq utensils and were received next day. Organised taxis from airport which was very handy too.LindaFamily from Roslin, United Kingdom
- 3 bedroom holiday villa in Marbella, Costa del Sol, with swimming poolMarch 2019 ★★★★★All sides image and functional apartment. Sheltered and comfortable terraces. A neat apartment that was already 17 years old, which was mainly reflected in the wear and tear of some of the furniture and the small sound of air conditioners. The sofa group should be changed. It has sometimes been luxurious and magnificent, but in its present state it is below the other level of the object. The senses of our team sensed the odor of moisture damage? All in all, a really hot and safe destination. Good traffic connections.Rauno L.
- 2 bedroom villa to rent in Marbella, Costa del SolFebruary 2018 ★★★★★The address of the address wrong, along with A7, was missing a street address! Location on the southern slope is a good, neat area. Locks Tough, 3 "identical" keys to different doors, had to be locked with the key from the inside too. Floor freezing cold, Air heat pump not sufficient. Off-road cleaning is excellent. Rent a car needed, shops fairly nearby. The frustrating environment, traffic hood is somehow. Beautiful pool area, trees and plantings.Liisa
- 3 bedroom holiday villa in Marbella, Costa del Sol, with swimming poolOctober 2017 ★★★★★This is the second time we have rented this house and everything was perfect like the first time in 2015. With this great view of the cabopino golf from the terrace and a relaxing setting we will surely be back for the third time. Only downside as the first time, the internet connection that is lamentable because passing through a key 3g and whose flow is limited, in one week it is found without connection due to the package 3g sold out, in short do not count on this connection if you must use the internet. The tv also dependent on the internet you will find quickly without occupation if it is bad weather.Karim
- 2 bedroom villa to rent in Marbella, Costa del SolAugust 2016 ★★★★★The apartment is a modern Bungalow, all very well cared for both the furniture and the appliances, the only one but would be to put a microwave to heat food or drinks when you go with small children, but everything is perfect, we will repeat.Juan
- 3 bedroom holiday villa in Marbella, Costa del Sol, with swimming poolOctober 2015 ★★★★★Absolutely beautiful setting with a terrace offering a superb view of the golf cabopino, very quiet and very relaxing, the beach and the small marina Cabopino are within 10 minutes walk with a lot of restaurant and bar, cafe , chiringuito ... However the car is essential for going shopping. A lot of supermarket are less than 10 minutes by car. The only downside is the TV which is not a satellite dish as shown but the Spanish cable without any channel in French (to pass the time or busy children can help), also the Wi-Fi internet connection that is mentioned is other than a 3g connection via a router equipped with a sim card that must be carefully positioned in the house so that it captures the signal and the cover is not great at all! Also the person doing the check in did not speak French (English, Spanish). Large pool very well maintained with children's pool.Karim

Where to stay in Marbella
Plenty of smaller resort areas between Sitio de Calahonda and Puerto Banus to choose from for a great holiday. If you fancy yourself a night owl and are looking for a rather vibrant holiday destination, with lots of bars and nightclubs, then Marbella it is. Puerto Banus, 10 kilometres west from Marbella, is also quite buzzy. It’s the hub for celebrities worldwide during summer - big yachts, expensive cars and bling. On the other hand, Sitio de Calahonda is a quiet resort with fine sand beaches and several golf courses strewn around it.

Golf courses in Marbella
Marbella is one of the best golf destinations in Europe. With over 10 golf courses in Marbella alone and over 50 along the Costa del Sol, there’s a great variety and choice when it comes to the game of golf. Sotogrande is one of the best golf courses in southern Spain. Located under an hour from Marbella, this 18 hole course stretches its greens across 6700 metres. Marbella Golf Country Club is also an excellent choice. Natural rolling hills of the course make shots tricky and interesting, especially with risky bunkers and water hazards. Of course, you can never go wrong with Guadalmina Golf Club, which less than 20 minutes from Marbella. There are two courses here - north and south. The northern course was opened in 1973 and has a slightly less challenging layout than the southern. Both courses are in brilliant condition, and there is a restaurant and a cafe at the club.
Things to do in Marbella
Art lovers might appreciate a visit to Avenida del Mar, exhibiting Dalí's sculptures and temporary art and media. If that's not enough, then get your cultural fix at the Spanish Contemporary Engraving Museum in the Hospital Bazán - the most important museum of its kind and home to the exhibitions of engravings and art works from national artists such as Picasso and Miró. But Marbella still retains a traditional Andalucian charm. In the heart of the historic old quarter lies the famous Plaza de Naranja; otherwise known as Orange Square, set in a beautiful bay with whitewashed houses and orange trees embellishing its ancient streets. The town’s jewel, well worth a visit, is the 16th century Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation that stands out as an exquisite piece of architecture. Step back in time with archaeological sites like the Roman baths of San Pedro, or walk down the 300 steps leading to Casa del Rey Moro fortress and water mine, with the singing birds and lapping water providing a peaceful soundtrack. Cross the road from the Old Town and you’ll find yourself at La Alameda Park. With a large ceramic fountain surrounded by exotic plants and trees, the park is a true oasis of peace, where you can enjoy some shade from the midday sun.
Activities for kids in Marbella
With its exuberant nightlife, Marbella city and the resort are perfect for an upbeat, energetic holiday with friends. Marbella is okay for families as well but some nearby resorts, like Sitio de Calahonda or Estepona, might be a better choice. Apart from beach activities, shopping and occasional visits to fast food joints there aren’t many activities that will keep the kids occupied here. However, Selwo Aventura is an animal park north-east from Estepona. The park has quite the animal collection and they offer walking and vehicle tours of the park which kids find amusing. There is also an excellent water park in Fuengirola called Aquamijas with wave pools, water slides, play area and snack food bars.
Getting around Marbella
If you’re planning on staying in the city and not venturing outside that much, then you should be fine on foot. Marbella city isn’t large and most amenities, including parks and shops, can be found nearby. Taxis and car hire are always an option if you’re planning a trip outside the city, but may cost an arm and a leg. However, CTSA-Portillo transportation company is inexpensive and has regular lines between Malaga and Algeciras. Purchasing a ‘Bonobus’ card is much cheaper than buying single tickets, and minimum recharge for the card is 5 Euros.
Where to eat in Marbella
Marbella has plenty of places to eat and drink, from cheap fast food joints and upscale restaurants dotted along the Paseo Maritimo boulevard, to the lively port promenade where you can sip your favourite drink at one of the many luxury bars, while watching the world go by. The best restaurant in the city must be Paco Jimenez Restaurant in the old town, excellent food with a cosy atmosphere. It’s tucked away a bit but definitely worth the effort of finding it. Bogart's Tapas Bar & Restaurant in Sitio de Calahonda is inexpensive with cocktails and a great menu that includes various dishes. Breathe Marbella in Puerto Banus is an upmarket all-round venue with outstanding food and drinks, atmosphere and shows.
Nightlife in Marbella
Let your hair down, mingle and dance the night away, with plenty of clubs, bars and venues to choose from. Most night clubs are concentrated in Puerto Banus and Marbella city, with the most popular being Olivia Valere, midway between Marbella city to Puerto Banus. There is also a great choice of bars. Crystal’s Banus is a premium karaoke bar and an excellent venue with quality drinks. The Claddagh is an Irish bar in Torremolinos with live music entertainment, great food and, most important, beer aplenty.
Shopping in Marbella
Since it’s a playground for the rich and famous, no wonder some of the most prestigious fashion stores can be found right here in Marbella. Forget Paris and New York, everything is here - from Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Dior and Versace. There are also some department stores and malls selling everything and anything. El Corte Ingles in Puerto Banus sells everything from haberdashery, men’s and women’s clothes, electrical appliances to jewellery, glasses and newspapers. There are also cafes, fast foods and restaurants. La Canada, north from Marbella city, is similar plus there is a cinema there.
