Puerto Banús, the marina located in Nueva Andalucia southwest of Marbella was one of Spain’s first “village-like” port complexes. If you are the least bit interested in yachts and expensive cars, you should definitely go there. Forty kilometers from Fuengirola. Drive the A7 towards Marbella and continue for 10 kilometers and you will get there. You can park on the large access road down by the harbor. Whitewashed apartments, restaurants and bars line the marina.

Hike the Golden Mile to Marbella
The Marbella Golden Mile is a 5km promenade along the Marbella coast, from Puerto Banús to the port of Marbella and the Piruli (a type of monolith that resembles a lighthouse). Puerto Banús to Marbella is a great walk or cycle ride. Here you have the mountains and the nice houses on your left and the Mediterranean on your right.

Take a boat here from Marbella harbour
From the port of Marbella you can also take a catamaran to Puerto Banús. Tickets are bought in Puerto Deportivo and the journey takes about 30 minutes. The Blue Ferry boat glides along the golden mile so you get a great view throughout the journey.
