The Costa del Sol is a region in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, comprising the coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coastline of the Malaga province and the eastern edge of the Cadiz province.
The area is particularly famous for its towns like Marbella, which provides the Costa del Sol with its reputation for being a playground for its super-rich and famous visitors. Visitors seeking accommodation in Marbella can reserve 4 star and 5 star hotels on our website.
Marbella is one of the Mediterranean's most representative tourist venues and a top favourite for travellers. What was once a small white village of fishermen is now one of the most cosmopolitan beach resorts on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia. Although a modern town, Marbella is full of history, its origins date back to 1600 BC so it's fair to say there is a little part of history to be found in every corner of the old town, with its Moorish castle, and famous Orange Square. The historical old quarter with the Andalucian and Moorish mix can still be found with its flower filled balconies and narrow streets.
Time has transformed this small maritime village of humble homes into a splendid tourist city that every year opens its doors to hundreds of thousands of visitors attracted by the wonderful climate, the warmth of the people, and the renowned parties and nightlife. Marbella is the choice of the rich and famous.
The resort is large and stylish, with around 28 km of beaches. Set against the stunning backdrop of a mountain, Marbella is a mixture of old and new, with stylish apartments lining the seafront. The centre of the Jet-Set and Show Business offers beautiful boulevards, parks and gardens, as well as romantic narrow lanes full of boutiques and restaurants.
For those who like to see the sights, taxis are cheap enough and plentiful, though if travelling any distance, you would be advised to agree the fare in advance.
