Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort

Marbella works in different seasons, which is why many people come back more than once a year. Spring and early summer are great for restaurants, golf, events and beach clubs without the full summer rush. Summer is for beach clubs, pool clubs, parties and long evenings. Autumn is ideal for golf, restaurants and a more relaxed Marbella rhythm.

Málaga Airport is the main arrival point for Marbella. Most regular visitors create their own routine: rental car, local taxi, private driver or airport transfer. A rental car gives the most freedom, especially if you want to visit restaurants, beach clubs, golf courses, schools, villas and different areas during your stay.

Yes, if you want to enjoy Marbella properly, a car is important. Marbella is spread out. Restaurants, beach clubs, golf courses, schools, villas and residential areas are not all in one walkable centre. A car gives you freedom and makes regular stays much easier.

Family suitability depends on the location and time of day. Check the location details before planning with children.
