Guide to Puerto Banus

'A playground for the rich and famous, Puerto Banus walks the line between Tinsel Town gloss and Spanish style.'

Set in the south of Spain, Puerto Banus is right next to its glamorous big sister, Marbella. And it's every bit as glitzy. A Spanish alternative to St Tropez, this party port is all about the see-and-be-seen lifestyle. We're talking a marina packed with sleek millionaires' yachts. Shiny super-cars purring through the streets. And a shopping scene that's all about names - Chloe, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, it's all here. You can almost smell the money. So it's little wonder it's such a hit with the jet-set. Everyone from celeb royalty to real-life royals have been papped on their summer holidays here. It's not unusual to see the likes of Cheryl and Ashley Cole or the Westlife boys strolling along the seafront. But that's just the famous face of Puerto Banus. On the flipside of the coin, you've got a kilometre of golden sand, high street shops and some of Spain's best golf courses. And there's still a trace of authentic Spain to be found, too. Head away from the super clubs and champagne bars of the marina and you'll discover plenty of tapas bars and pavement cafes. That said, if your pockets are deep enough - check out some of the celebrity haunts like the Ivy Marbella and Nikki Beach to mingle with those beautiful people.
