Puerto de la Duquesa | Manilva

Where sun, sea and serenity come together!

"The enchanting Puerto de la Duquesa, where sunsets caress the horizon and the sea whispers about ancient stories. Here the soul finds peace in the harmony of Mediterranean charm."

Puerto de la Duquesa: beach, fun and convenience on the Costa del Sol

On the western side of the Costa del Sol lies Puerto de la Duquesa, a marina town where peace and activity go hand in hand. Sun-drenched beaches, lively bars and restaurants, and sporty adventures alternate effortlessly here. With both Málaga and Gibraltar just a short drive away, it’s an easy-to-reach destination for anyone who wants to enjoy the good life in Spain.

Sun, sand and plenty of space to relax

No crowded promenades or packed beaches here—Puerto de la Duquesa is still a place where you can truly unwind. You’ll find kilometres of quiet coastline where you can lay down your towel without having neighbours right next to you. The seafront promenade is lined with beach bars, cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or a delicious lunch with a view of the sea.

Everything within reach at the marina

The marina is the practical heart of Puerto de la Duquesa. It’s not just a place to moor your boat—you can also pick up fresh bread, a pair of sunglasses or a snorkel set. The restaurants serve up local favourites, international dishes and a good glass of wine while you gaze out at the bobbing boats.

For golfers and active holidaymakers

A proper 18-hole golf course lies just minutes from the marina—perfect for working on your swing under the sun. But there’s plenty more to do for sporty types, too: from tennis courts to water sports, there’s no shortage of options for those who like an active holiday.

A weekly market worth exploring

The weekly market is a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Browse stalls filled with local cheeses, fresh fruit, handmade jewellery and more. It’s the ideal place to spend a morning strolling around before heading back to your apartment or holiday home with a well-stocked bag.

Easy to reach, hard to leave

At 36° 21' 13.16" N and 5° 13' 42.29" W, Puerto de la Duquesa is quite literally on the map. Whether you’re arriving from Málaga or Gibraltar, you’ll be there in no time. And once you’ve arrived, you won’t want to leave.

Puerto de la Duquesa may not be big or flashy, but it’s charming, compact and complete. Just the kind of place you’re looking for when planning a sunny getaway with your family, partner or friends.
