Marbella, a true treasure of Andalusia, is famous for its magnificent coastline, luxury villas or yachts and vibrant nightlife. It is here that famous celebrities have been settling for years, as well as tourists from almost every corner of the world, to experience the beauty and charms of the place – the crystal waters, the hot sun, the golden beaches, the architecture and the dynamic rhythm of life.
Marbella is also known for its excellent and tried-and-tested establishments, offering delicious food and cocktails in a unique setting.
