Puerto José Banús. Puerto Deportivo de Lujo en Marbella

Where luxury meets the horizon, and every experience creates a memory

"Puerto José Banús, where the sun shares its warm embrace with luxury yachts and the vibrant energy of the Mediterranean Sea resounds in every enchanting wave."

Puerto Banús: where luxury strolls along the quay

Say Marbella, and you’re thinking of Puerto Banús. This chic marina, just five kilometres from the city centre, isn’t just a spot by the sea—it’s a lifestyle shaped like a boulevard. Since 1970, yachts, sports cars, and designer sunglasses have been gleaming in the sun here. Whether you’re here for the vibe, the fashion, or simply a good plate of sushi with a view—everything you do here comes with a little extra sparkle.

From sand to hourglass figures: the birth of Puerto Banús

In the 1960s, José Banús had a vision. Not just another residential area, but a luxury project that would put Marbella on the global map. Together with Beverly Hills architect Noldi Schreck, he didn’t sketch out a skyline, but designed a stylish Andalusian village with whitewashed walls, palm trees, and views worth millions. In 1970, the ribbon was cut—royalty attended, the international jet set flew in, and Julio Iglesias hit the stage.

Strolling, shopping, and seafood with a million-dollar view

Puerto Banús is the ultimate spot for those who love to see and be seen. Stroll past designer boutiques with names that take at least three syllables, grab a pair of sunglasses that cost more than your rent, or order lobster at a beach club where the bill might hit four digits. From Gucci to gelato—everything is within arm’s reach. And if you want to escape the buzz for a moment, the beach is literally just steps away.

Not a destination, but an experience

What makes Puerto Banús different? The unique blend of sun, sea, and supercars. You’ll be wide-eyed here—whether you arrive in a convertible or wander in on sneakers. The marina is like a catwalk on water, with luxury yachts as the backdrop. And as the sun sets into the Mediterranean, the glasses clink and the DJ turns up the volume.
