Your Ultimate Guide To Marbella by Celebrities in Marbella

Why do so many people choose to visit Marbella?

People choose Marbella for many different reasons but the overriding reason is because of the local infrastructure and sunny climate. Marbella is within 3 hours of most northern European cities and there are usually a good choice of low cost flights between Malaga and other European countries.

Where is Marbella, Spain?

Marbella is located in southern Spain on a section of coast known as the Costa del Sol and within the stunning region of Andalucia. Just 45 minutes from Malaga airport and within an hour of the British enclave of Gibraltar, Marbella is the ideal resort whether you want to stay put and enjoy the local hospitality, or if you want to explore the many delights that Andalucia has to offer.

The coast of the Costa de la Luz is an hour away heading west where you will find the bohemian town of Tarifa and ferry access to Morocco. Seville is about 2.5 hours away and you can be in Portugal in around 4 hours. Heading the opposite direction Granada is about 2 hours drive and during the moths of December through to March / April, you can head to Sierra Nevada for skiing.
