Bonita Casa Cuca
Stephans place was amazing. The location is great for people visiting the old town wanting to explore. Once you arrive it might be a little difficult to find but nothing google maps cant help you with. Check in was a breeze and the home is super cozy. I loved the balcony! Would definitely come back to marbella and stay here again

Duplex penthouse by Principe1
We had a wonderful time at this apartment! The place is beautifully furnished and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The absolute highlight was the terrace with its breathtaking view – having breakfast there in the morning and unwinding in the evening with a glass of wine was simply perfect. A big thank you to Mery and Javi for the warm welcome and the super flexible check-in and check-out. They were both very helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d love to come back!

Casa Calma ǀ Private Pool ǀ Close to Beach + Golf
It’s been a fantastic family vacation, and the place delivered on all that was promised. A wonderfully decorated property, sleek yet stylish with a cozy ambient and enormous feel good factor. The house itself is super chill as Casa Calma should be;)…. the garden and pool are lovely add ons making it a perfect spot for a family get away. Dirk has been very helpful and responsive and his restaurant recommendations are spot on, we have had some amazing diners, from posh beach clubs to a cozy restaurant in the mountains, each place unique and worth a small drive. Overall a very satisfying stay that was enjoyed by the whole family. Till next time ;)

1st line Beachfront | Marbella
Eric was a kind person who explained various things in detail before I arrived. He also helped me with parking, so I was able to stay comfortably for 4 days. I was especially happy because I could see the beautiful ocean view every day.

Your guide to Marbella
Welcome to Marbella
Marbella embodies the essence of Spain’s renowned Costa del Sol, with 17 miles of shoreline luring sunseekers to its azure Mediterranean waters, as it boasts 320 days of sunshine a year. The sea is a way of life here, with four marinas, including the popular Puerto Banús. But there are just as many treasures on land, all doused with Andalusian flavors, represented in its whitewashed architecture and orange trees aplenty: It’s no wonder that the historic area is anchored by Plaza de Los Naranjos, or Orange Square, dating from the Renaissance era. Also within the winding streets of Old Town, which sits in the Sierra Blanca’s foothills, are preserved sections of Islamic walls and towers that formed the ninth-century Arab fortress. But above all, Marbella just has that sense of elevated living, drawing celebrities, culture seekers, and beach lovers alike.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Marbella
Of course everyone wants to be at the Spanish Mediterranean destination in the summer when the beach weather is idyllic, but that also makes May through August the busiest period, with higher prices and heavier crowds. April, September, and November may feel more manageable and the water temperatures are still suitable for a swim. The winter temperatures dip low enough that it’s simply too cold to get into the water, but the land temperatures remain moderate enough for exploration by day. The major annual festivals include the Marbella Carnival in February, Festivities of San Bernabé in June, Virgen del Carmen in July, and San Pedro Alántara Fair in October.
Top things to do in Marbella
Beaches
The famous blue waters of the Spanish Mediterranean draw visitors to the golden sands — and with two dozen beaches lined along the city’s southern coast, there’s no shortage of choices. Artola-Cabopino Beach within the Dunas de Artola nature preserve offers a relaxed landscape among the dunes, while Playa de la Bajadilla, Playa de Rio Real, and Playa de Venus are closer to the action in the city center.
Marbella Old Town
Wander the charming streets of the historic city center, where ruins of the area’s Roman, Arabic, and Christian pasts are all preserved. Highlights include the Arabic Castel’s ruins, the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation, and Orange Square. Also make sure to wander down Avenida del Mar, which has fountains, gardens, pergolas, and 10 sculptures by Salvador Dalí along its route.
Museum of Contemporary Spanish Engraving
Housed inside the 16th-century Renaissance-style former Bazán Hospital, the museum’s collection of more than 4,000 prints includes works by all the Spanish masters.
