If you like "people watching" and want to see how some others live, then Puerto Banus in Costa del Sol is the place to visit on your villa holiday. Puerto Banus is located just west of Marbella before you reach the small town of San Pedro de Alcantara. The port is named after its designer, "Jose Banus" and was opened in 1970. This fashionable marina can be reached by driving along the Golden Mile, the stretch of coastal road from Marbella which houses some of the most luxurious hotels and properties in the area such as the Marbella Club, Puente Romano and the Mosque and palaces belonging to King Fahd.
Some of the most luxurious yachts and cruisers that one will ever see are moored at Puerto Banus marina and all are set against a backdrop of luxury apartments, expensive shops and boutiques, night clubs, piano bars and restaurants. Puerto Banus is the haunt of the poseur. You will see Rolls Royces and Bentleys gliding along the quayside or parked alongside one of the super yachts – and holiday makers enjoy strolling and admiring, whilst trying to get a glimpse of somebody famous. Puerto Banus tends to wake at noon and life carries on until 6am. Boat trips are available on a regular basis from the central promenade. The popular beach adjacent to Puerto Banus holds a European blue flag.
