Puerto Banús by car: marina, beaches & parking
Marbella's superyacht marina is pure Costa del Sol glamour — designer boutiques, waterfront restaurants and a beach on each side. It's an easy 10-minute drive west of Marbella.
- Superyachts, designer shops and waterfront dining
- Levante and Nueva Andalucía beaches either side
- Easy underground parking by the harbour
Getting to Puerto Banús by car
It's just 8 km west of Marbella — 10 minutes on the A-7 coastal road. From Málaga airport take the AP-7 toll for about 45 minutes. Exit at Puerto Banús and follow signs to the marina car parks.
Parking and getting around
Don't circle for street parking in season; the underground car parks beside the harbour are cheap by the hour and put you steps from the boats. From there everything — marina, shops and both beaches — is walkable.
What to see and do
Stroll the marina past the superyachts, browse the designer row, and pick a waterfront table for lunch. Levante beach sits right by the port; quieter sand stretches west toward San Pedro. Evenings are the marina's prime time.

More places worth the drive
Three towns in one — a pretty pueblo, a busy beachfront and the playful Puerto Marina — plus a mountain cable car and a fairy-tale castle. A varied, family-friendly stop close to Málaga airport.
The famous cliff-hung walkway through the Gaitanes gorge is a one-way, two-entrance affair in the middle of nowhere — which makes a car by far the easiest way to do it, and turns the trip into a full lake-and-mountain day out.
The 'Garden of the Costa del Sol' keeps a genuinely Spanish old town — flower-filled lanes, a famous mural route and an easy, walkable centre — west of Marbella with long, uncrowded beaches.
