Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol in Spain

Puerto Banús opened in 1970, built by the property magnate Jose Banús. It rapidly became popular for the rich and famous and has been dubbed the millionaires playground. And sure enough, the port has seen countless of playboys over the past decades. It is still somewhat an experience to walk along the piers and watch the luxury yachts moored. Some of the most luxurious yachts in the world have anchored in Puerto Banús; the Nabila of Adnan Kashoggi, the Príncipe Abdulazis, the Tritona, and the Shaf.

In the old days, one could drive straight into the port, but nowadays it is limited to people with a port pass. This has however, not stopped the exhibition of luxury vehicles such as Ferraris, Aston Martins and Bentleys. During the summer months it can become a bit much with playboy posers but nevertheless, Puerto Banús still offers world-class cuisine, a fantastic nightlife and an exhilarating atmosphere.

Puerto Banús also offers some fantastic shopping facilities with designer outlets such as Armani, Karen Millen and Boss. And of course there are three shopping centres; Marina Banús, El Corte Ingles and Cristamar offering you everything you could ever imagine. Puerto Banús also has the only English screen cinema in Marbella with films often screened a week or two before the UK premiere.

With all the facilities on offer it is no surprise that Puerto Banús is visited by nearly 5.000.000 visitors every year. Luckily there are plenty of parking facilities.
