With stunning scenery, prestigious Michelin-star restaurants, and beachfront properties, Marbella is the ideal place to visit for a relaxing vacation.

The La Concha mountain range provides a gorgeous backdrop to the city, and many people visit El Mirador, which is one of its highest points that offers great views of Marbella. The town also has six parks and gardens that make for enjoyable strolls, including Nagueles Park at the foot of the Sierra Blanca Mountain, King Fahian Gardens which overlook the Golden Mile area, El Calvario designed around the rock garden theme, Parque de las Medranas which has a large lake, La Alameda in the center of town, and Parque de la Constitucion, which was formerly the garden in a private residence. Another must-see is the Paseo Maritimo, a seaside promenade where many restaurants and sidewalk cafes are located. Beaches that are popular include La Fontanilla and Playa Faro, both of which have abundant bars, restaurants, water sports and more. If you’re in the mood to walk and sightsee, Los Cuchillos is a well-known circular route that offers pleasant sites and views along its various trails.

One of the most popular day trips from Marbella is a visit to Gibraltar, which is an hour southwest by car and where the 18th century Great Siege Tunnels are located, along with the remains of a 14-century Moorish Castle.
