Location and history of Marbella

Marbella is situated on the coast between Malaga and Gibraltar. Flights direct to Malaga are available from UK airports through many low cost airlines.

Its position is ideal for inland forays to visit the famous town of Ronda and the mountains, and also other sun-drenched points along the Costa del Sol such as Estepona, Calahonda and Mijas. Marbella's rich diversity of archaeological sites is testament to its long history of human habitation which stretches back to the Paleolithic age. Many civilisations have encompassed the municipality within their influence and each has left its mark in the buildings and placenames in use in the surrounding countryside. These include Roman villas and baths, and the city walls built by its Muslim inhabitants in the Middle Ages.

Marbella boasts 27 kilometres of coastline, much of it highlighted by the golden sands of the many beautiful beaches such as Puerto Banus and Fontanilla and the naturist-friendly, dune-fed Artola beach.
