Marbella Harbor

A visit to the Marbella harbor will give you the opportunity to see one of the most luxurious marinas in Costa del Sol. Part of the Marbella harbor, Puerto Banus, is known for attracting celebrities as well as visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of them. When Puerto Banus first opened in 1970, film director Roman Polanski, Princess Grace of Monaco, and Hugh Hefner were among the guests in attendance. The Marbella harbor hosted nearly 2,000 guests at the opening of Puerto Banus and served them a large amount of beluga caviar. Today, the marina can accommodate more than 900 boats, many of which are owned by some of the wealthiest people in the world, including the King of Saudi Arabia.
