Marbella Holidays - The St. Tropez of the Costa del Sol

The holiday resort of Marbella in Spain has been attracting visitors from the UK and northern Europe since the 1950s. Marbella holidays have been popular with families for over 30 years thanks to the excellent facilities for both adults and children. With its reputation for glamour and sophistication, it is not unheard of to see rich and famous celebrities and even royalty relaxing on luxurious yachts in the port of Marbella. Beach holidays are the attraction for most British tourists in Spain and with 17 miles of fantastic golden sand and no less than 24 named beaches, Marbella will certainly not disappoint in that respect.

The most popular beaches have first-rate amenities, with a myriad of water sports, along with shower facilities, bars and eateries. ‘Funny Beach’ in particular is very popular with families because of the range of children’s entertainment including trampolines, mini motorbikes, kart tracks and water sports. Marbella golf holidays are another big attraction of a region sometimes known as the ‘Costa del Golf’, with a dozen swanky golf clubs in the Marbella area alone.
