Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll discover two contrasting coastal towns in one trip – Marbella and Puerto Banus
  • There's time to explore the charming old town in Marbella and stop off at Orange Tree Square
  • The glamour of the Golden Mile, enclave of the rich and famous, is revealed on a scenic drive

  • Your tour is led by an expert local guide with unrivalled knowledge of Marbella and the Golden Mile
What to expect

The charming old town of Marbella and the upscale opulence of Puerto Banus provide a perfect contrast on this trip. Take half a day to discover them both, with plenty of free time to explore. Sonia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Golden Mile has been synonymous with luxury since 1954, when Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe opened the Marbella Club Hotel. His exclusive club tempted royalty and other glamorous figures to pay Marbella a visit. Once they began building their own properties in the area, the Golden Mile was born.'

First, you'll explore Marbella's old town, with time for browsing its boutiques and wandering its cobbled lanes. Maybe sip a coffee in the popular Orange Tree Square – the picturesque hub of the old town – fringed by traditional restaurants and cafés. Take a stroll through shady Alameda Park to admire the tiled benches and fountain, see the Dali sculptures along the Avenida del Mar, or take the air along the palm-lined seafront.

We'll then drive along the famous Golden Mile – Dolph Lundgren, Joan Collins, Hugh Grant and Antonio Banderas are just some of the residents here – to the millionaire's playground of Puerto Banus. Check out the luxury yachts moored in the marina or maybe indulge in a spot of designer shopping. Sonia says, ‘This marina was once an old fishing village. The upgrade was designed by Jose Banus with the international jet set in mind.' When you've had your fill of bling, relax by the water's edge for a spot of people, or celebrity, watching.

    Highly recommended trip with enough time to see what you want to see. We had an amazing meal in the Orange Tree Square and beautiful walks around both places . Ok so we did feel like ********** among all those luxury brands but everyone was so friendly and our guide was really superb. Do the trip- you will not regret it.

    Overall the trip was well planned but it only gives a flavour of what to expect to see and do given more time at each location. With regard to safety, the wearing of seat belts as mandatory was not mentioned until half way through the return journey.

    Robert and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour - guide was pleasant and helpful - bus driver very good as well - enough time in each resort to have a coffee / meal and to have a walk about to take in the sights which were lovely - we were lucky the day we went as there was a classic vintage car rally on in peurto Banus.
