Spain's Marbella is one of Europe's most famous holiday towns that never fails to surprise first-time visitors with its aristocratic charm and beauty. It's a microcosm of the Costa del Sol, with almost as many faces as it has visitors each year. Marbella offers sweeping beaches, immaculate promenades and excellent shopping facilities.
Marbella's old town is a maze of narrow cobbled streets lined with white washed houses, shops, bars and restaurants. In the heart of the old town is Plaza de los Naranjos, a delightful square shaded by orange trees where you can enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants whilst watching the world go by. There are several museums and the remains of the old castle, located just off the square which is well worth a visit during your villa holiday to Marbella.
Once you've finished exploring the narrow streets, shops, bars and restaurants of Marbella's old town why not take a leisurely stroll through the Parque Arroyo de la Repressa. This pleasant park is made up of terraced gardens and lakes which offer some welcome shade from the warm Spanish sunshine.
Marbella is also well-known for its 27km of coastline with the most famous part being Marbella's Golden Mile. The Golden Mile is made up of many different beaches between Marbella and Puerto Banus and is flanked by a recently built promenade, designer hotels and beach bars. Many of Marbella's beaches such as El Faro, La Fontanilla and La Venus have held the Blue Flag award since 1992 and offer an array of facilities including bars, restaurants, sun loungers and water sports. Marbella's beautiful sandy beaches make it the ideal choice for a family villa holiday.
For those who enjoy relaxing on holiday with a round of golf then Marbella is the perfect base for a Spanish golfing holiday. There are several good golf courses within the area, including Los Naranjos, Dama de Noche, Guadalmina and the world famous Valderama course.
