Marbella has a reputation as a magnet for the glamorous international jet set, with no lack of facilities to indulge their exacting taste for luxury in all things. Michelin-starred fine dining, an exclusive marina for opulent yachts surrounded by designer boutiques as well as exclusive beach clubs and discreet five-star hotels for pampered breaks are just a few of the attractions of Marbella for the world’s itinerant wealthy.
