Why buy a property in Puerto Banús

Why Puerto Banús beach apartments are in such high demand

The marina at Puerto Banús dates back to 1966 when the architect Noldi Schleck managed to convince José Banús to build an Andalusian village with a port instead of simple residential buildings without much charm. Now, Puerto Banús has become one of the best-known locations on the Costa del Sol. Puerto Banús beach apartments are also some of the most sought-after properties and the marina is one of the most famous in the world!

Today, it still attracts the rich and famous who enjoy the rarefied atmosphere. It is impossible to tire of enjoying a harbourside meal while watching the superyachts gently sway in the marina and watch as the beautiful people stroll by. This is the paradise of Puerto Banús.

Pretty white pueblo

Puerto Banús was designed with a specific vision in mind. Rather than replicate the modern style apartments springing up along the coastline the architect designed homes with a traditional Andalusian style pueblo (white village) feel. The pretty whitewashed facades and pan tiled roofs, have a slightly higgledy-piggledy feel to them, providing bags of character. For example, this charming development of luxury apartments in Puerto Banús, is located 100m from the marina. This is just one of the many luxury properties for sale in Puerto Banús.
