Puerto Banus is Marbella’s celeb-studded marina district, where luxury yachts, supercars and designer boutiques cluster along the waterfront.

By day you can wander the artisan market, sip coffee while people-watching by the yachts or hop along the coast to Marbella’s Old Town. As the sun goes down, Puerto Banus shifts up a gear, with late-opening restaurants and bars giving the resort its famous party atmosphere.

Puerto Banus, Costa Del Sol, Spain

Wake up to a generous buffet breakfast with international and Spanish favourites – it’s included in your Bed & Breakfast stay. For the rest of the day, you’ve got a trio of venues to graze your way around:

Buffet Restaurant
Main restaurant serving buffet and some à la carte options for breakfast and dinner. Expect a mix of international dishes and Spanish classics, with show-style set-ups and a relaxed, contemporary dining room. Highchairs and a kids’ menu are available. The hotel kindly asks guests not to wear beachwear at dinner.

Breeze
Poolside à la carte spot serving international cuisine, snacks and leisurely lunches between roughly April and October (opening dates and times depend on occupancy). Ideal for light bites between dips, from salads and grilled dishes to something more indulgent.

Dolce Vita
Italian à la carte restaurant open for dinner, pairing wood-toned interiors with comforting favourites – think pizza, pasta and desserts. Highchairs and kids’ options mean families are just as welcome as couples. Smart-casual attire is recommended.

Lobby Bar
Late-afternoon and evening bar pouring everything from coffees to classic cocktails (typically open 17:00–00:00, hours may vary).

Reservations may be required for à la carte dining, and supplements may apply depending on your board arrangement. Facilities, opening hours and menus are based on the previous season and can change from year to year. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The hotel’s pool scene is designed for laid-back days in the sun. There are two outdoor freshwater pools, each with a surrounding sunbathing terrace lined with loungers and parasols.

One pool features a separate children’s section, ideal if you’re travelling with younger guests and want them close by while you relax. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can pack lighter.

Both pools are typically open between late March and early November (roughly 28 March–1 November), but opening dates, depths and facilities may vary by season and weather conditions.

When you fancy a change of scenery, the nearest beach is around 550m away. Puerto Banus’ coastline blends sandy stretches with beach clubs and laid-back chiringuitos (beach bars), so you can switch between chilled sunbathing and champagne-fuelled afternoons with ease.

Occidental Puerto Banus keeps things relaxed and lifestyle-focused, with the buzz of Puerto Banus itself providing much of the action.
