A Stunning Setting

Every time when we stroll along the picturesque marina, we love to admire the breathtaking views. The glistening water, lined with impressive yachts and sailboats, set the perfect backdrop for a shopping spree. The palm tree-lined streets, upscale boutiques, and elegant cafes exuded an air of sophistication that is quintessentially Marbella.

Designer Haven

The Marina of Puerto Banús is a dream come true for luxury shopping enthusiasts. With an array of high-end designer stores, every time it felt like a kid in a candy store. From Louis Vuitton, Valentino Max Mara, Jimmy Choo, Tom Ford, Fendi, Dior, VILEBREQUIN and Dolce & Gabbana to Gucci and Zimmerman, the marina boasts an impressive selection of the world's most sought-after brands.

Other shops

It’s nice to know that you will also find the following shops in the Marina of Puerto Banús: a small Apple Store, Sunglasseshut, Sephora, Kiko Milano and MC2 St Barth.

A Shopper's Oasis

One of the things we appreciated the most at shopping in the marina is the relaxed atmosphere in the early afternoon. While the stores are undeniably luxurious, the vibe is refreshingly laid-back. This made for a truly enjoyable and stress-free shopping experience. The store assistants were friendly and attentive, and they were more than happy to help you find the perfect pieces to complement my personal style.We advise against shopping during evening hours, as the area tends to become congested with people.

A Culinary Treat

After hours of perusing the beautiful boutiques, you needed a break to recharge. The Marina of Puerto Banús is home to some of Marbella's finest eateries but more for the evening. If you are looking for a restaurant in the evening we highly recommend Los Bandidos and Naga. During the day and you are just looking for a drink and a small bite it is nice to go to the Martini bar at Dolce & Gabbana store or Benabola Sky Lounge. If you just want to relax near the harbour or grab a good lunch we recommend Divot, Breathe, Ground by Breathe Naga, Rosas Café Marbella.
