Marbella at a glance
Nestled under the La Concha Mountains, in Andalusia, Marbella is situated on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.

Holidays in Marbella – Europe’s Playground
Marbella has become a preferred destination for Europe’s rich and famous. Simply mentioning its name conjures up thoughts of casinos, expensive cars, multi-million dollar yachts and luxury hotels. However, today it is not only the preserve of the mega-rich; thanks to its location, just a 30-minute drive from Malaga airport, Marbella is only a budget flight away from almost anywhere in Europe.
Marbella Holidays – Traditional Spanish Feel
Even though the town may be filled with hotels and restaurants, there is still a lot of history to be discovered. Meandering through the streets of old Marbella will bring tourists to places that date back to the 16th century. Visitors will also enjoy the quaintness of small galleries, shops and cafes that are a world apart from its bustling modern centre.
Take a stroll around the old town and sample the atmosphere of traditional Spain, where small shops line the streets, vying for position with bars filled with local residents. Orange trees sprout from the pavements and you can listen to flamenco guitars being played as you sit and enjoy a coffee at one of the many street cafés.
Marbella Holidays – The Sierra Sermeja Mountains
If strolling through the streets of town sounds too relaxing for you on your Marbella holiday, there are always the Sierra Bermeja Mountains to explore. They are to be found, standing tall, behind Marbella and can be accessed easily either by vehicle or on foot. There are many places where you can stop and take in the two and a half miles of coastal views across Marbella and beyond.
