Benahavís, Marbella, Spain

Marbella Royal Suites can be found close to the idyllic, whitewashed village of Benahavís in the middle of Spain’s most celebrated tourist hotspot, the Costa del Sol. Here you have the choice of partaking in the dazzling designer shopping and vibrant nightlife of celebrity favourite Puerto Banús, or taking it easy in the remarkably unspoiled Moorish Benahavís.

The village of Benahavis is set inland, approximately 7 km from the coast, and was recently featured in "The Mail on Sunday" as one of the most affluent villages in Europe!

Benahavís is synonymous with excellent cuisine and boasts a very high concentration of top-class restaurants. Filled with art galleries, winding narrow streets and ancient architecture, Benahavís is just a ten minute drive from the golden sands of the glorious Mediterranean Sea.

How accessible is it?

A little over two hours away from the UK by plane with an abundance of flights from more than 10 major and regional airports throughout the UK, Spain is literally as accessible as you want it to be.

Both Málaga International Airport to the east and Gibraltar International Airport to the west are accessible in under 45 minutes via traffic-free motorways.
