Holidays to Puerto Banus in 2025 & 2026 can be full of the glitz and glamour you'd find in Marbella but perhaps not such a high pricetag. It can still be a little more expensive than other part of the Costa del Sol but there are some fantastic accommodation options ranging from self catering holiday apartments through to beautiful, five-star spa resorts, and you can also enjoy staying around the marina or the beach, or a littler further inland around one of the many golf courses available in the area. Whether you're after a fun, family holiday or a couples luxury retreat in the sunshine, Puerto Banus is definitely a destination worth considering.
Located halfway between Malaga and Gibraltar, Puerto Banus is within an hour's drive of both airports, meaning you've got even more choice in terms of flights options from the UK, with airlines including British Airways, easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair and TUI all offer flights to this part of Andalucia from across the UK, including regional airports like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford and Belfast.
The journey to Puerto Banus can take between 45-60 minutes depending on your route and traffic if you're in a taxi, private transfer or hire car. If you're booked onto a shared coach transfer from either airport, this can take longer due to the lower journey and potential additional stops at other resorts and towns along the way.
Once you've arrived in Puerto Banus, walking is a great way to get around and explore the town on foot, however, taxis are available at popular tourist spots and you may want to think about taxis or a hiring a car if you're a bit further away from the action. A hire car is also a great way to travel around the region, visiting some of the smaller towns along the coast and in the mountains.
Buses are another great option and very affordable if you want to explore further afield, with many buses stopping along the A7 motorway, so a day trip up to Marbella or down to Estepona can be a fun and cheap day out.
