With a seemingly endless supply of high-end boutiques, exquisite dining options and exclusive events &#8211; not to mention plenty of sun, sea and sand &#8211; it\u2019s a veritable hotspot for millionaires, celebrities and some of the most fabulous people in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re planning to take an extended holiday or move out to Marbella on a semi-permanent (or permanent) basis, you\u2019ll want to start making the most of the fabulous lifestyle opportunities as soon as you land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Marbella travel<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting to Marbella is as simple as a flight to Malaga (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marbellataxis.com\/blog\/malaga-airport-continues-to-grow-in-numbers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spain\u2019s fourth busiest airport<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), followed by a 30-minute drive into the city. While there is the option to do this by bus, most people find a private transfer to be much more comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for travelling around while you stay in Marbella, a luxury rental is the only way to go. There are a number of exotic car dealerships in town, so browse their offering online and make sure to have a reservation waiting for you. Whether you prefer the comfort of a Bentley or the style of a Lamborghini, nothing looks out of place driving along the Golden Mile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might also want to look at going off-road and into the water with a private yacht charter. Again, there are plenty of companies offering luxury vessels of all sizes, so if you\u2019ve got a special occasion to celebrate (or simply want to avoid the crowds on the beach), you\u2019re sure to find the perfect yacht for your group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Accommodation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a wealth of exceptional places to stay in Marbella, from five-star hotels and serviced apartments, to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.panorama.es\/rentals\/results\/rental_type\/holiday%20rentals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unique villas in exclusive neighbourhoods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Swimming pools, hot tubs and luxury terraces are commonplace, and you\u2019ll have plenty of choice between villas in the traditional Spanish style and more contemporary designer homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever type of trip you\u2019re planning \u2013 whether it\u2019s a romantic escape, a family vacation or an extended break with your friends \u2013 it\u2019s easy to find the perfect pad once you know where to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Mile is the hub of all activity, and a villa or apartment close to the seafront will put you within easy reach of the boutiques and beach clubs along the coast. If you\u2019re looking for a more private escape, choose somewhere in La Zagaleta or Sierra Blanca. These tranquil neighbourhoods are highly exclusive but will afford you complete privacy once you\u2019re away from the centre of Marbella. The residential areas of Los Monteros and Guadalmina are more accessible but equally enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/luxury-living-in-marbella-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"675\" \/><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Source:<\/i><\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/beach-blue-coast-dawn-274127\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pexels<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Socialising<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s face it \u2013 a trip to Marbella is mostly about seeing and being seen while you soak up the sun and splash some cash. Knowing the hotspots for brushing shoulders with the most elite crowds on the coast is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city is known for its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spain-holiday.com\/Marbella\/articles\/best-clubs-in-marbella.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incredible beach clubs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where you can sunbathe and sip champagne during the day, before retuning after dark to dance the night away. Whichever club you choose, expect fabulous VIP areas, renowned DJs, international celebrities and partying until the early hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikki Beach is perhaps the most famous, known for having clubs in some of the world\u2019s best resorts. Funky Buddha is another favourite, offering a huge dancefloor in amongst exotic, Asian-themed d\u00e9cor. Heading into Puerto Ban\u00fas, you\u2019ll find TIBU packed with the young trendy crowd and Pangea, which delivers unrivalled views over the marina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dining<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If clubbing isn\u2019t your scene, Marbella has plenty of other exquisite experiences to savour \u2013 such as its exceptional dining options. The best part is that many of the city\u2019s top restaurants can be found within its hotels and beach clubs, meaning you won\u2019t even need to interrupt your day to enjoy them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myguidemarbella.com\/restaurants\/the-marbella-club-grill\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Marbella Club Grill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example, is particularly popular in summer, when service moves onto the stunning terrace of the Marbella Club Hotel. The menu combines Spanish cuisine with international dishes, expertly put together by Michelin-starred chef, Juan Galvez. You should also try Tahini, a fantastic sushi bar within the Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, although Marbella hosts Spain\u2019s first Nobu if you would prefer something a little more familiar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those that love the Harrod\u2019s Food Hall experience, the famous El Corte Ingles shopping centre offers similar options. Located on the second floor, you\u2019ll find multiple restaurants, a trendy gastro bar and the opportunity to purchase luxury treats to take home with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This barely scratches the surface of the wonderful lifestyle that awaits you in Marbella. If you\u2019re looking to blow off some steam in a luxurious destination that has anything you could wish for, there\u2019s no doubt that this is it. Sunshine, fast cars, luxury boutiques and champagne all day long \u2013 what\u2019s not to love?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Panorama Properties Marbella is, without a doubt, the most luxurious place you can be on the Costa del Sol.
