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.
