Mingle with the

rich and famous

at Puerto Banús

Beaches are

golden but – be

warned – popular

in high summer!

With its orange trees

and historic fountain,

Plaza de los Naranjos

is one of the city’s

hidden gems

Wel come to

millionaire’s

playground!

TRAVEL

SNAPSHOT

Nestling at the base

of Spain’s Sierra Blanca

mountains, Marbella on the

Costa del Sol is quick and

easy to get to. The area offers

a mix of culture, nightlife, golf

courses, sandy beaches and, of

course, the famous marina of

Puerto Banús. Past and present

residents include Simon Cowell,

Sean Connery and late pop

legend, Prince.

INSIDER’S

GUIDE

Packed with yachts,

sports cars and designer shops,

Puerto Banús is the exclusive

haunt of folk who have cash to

flash! But for those of us who

don’t have a millionaire’s bank

balance, it’s great for a bit of

celeb-spotting. Keep your

eyes peeled for TOWIE stars

or even a WAG or two!

Created as a jet-set resort in the

50s, Marbella is still a favourite

with celebs. But whatever your

budget, you can enjoy a taste

of the Champagne lifestyle...
