More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto teak and fiberglass at Puerto Banús as the marina exhales—engines purring, gulls arguing overhead—and the coastline peels away in a ribbon of white sand, villas and cliffs. For an hour the sea becomes the frame: the harbor’s luxury berths recede, Playa de Nagüeles and Nikki Beach slide past, and the water dares you to look beyond the shoreline for flashes of dolphin backs.
