As the owners of Marbslifestyle.com, we know a thing or two about luxury living in southern Spain. And when it comes to relaxation and slowing down, there's no better place than Sotogrande. Every year, we make it a point to visit this charming coastal town, as it offers the perfect blend of tranquility and luxury.
One of our favorite ways to travel to Sotogrande is by renting a boat in Puerto Banus Marina.

From Puerto Banus it's a nice day trip by boat with time for sightseeing and having lunch in Sotogrande. Whether you want to explore the coastline or just relax in the sun, renting a boat is a must-do activity in Sotogrande.
