If you are visiting Puerto Banus on holiday, it’s a good idea to have an idea of the beach clubs in the area. Beach clubs are the perfect place to spend a lazy day, soaking up the sun and having a dip in the pool or the sea.

If you are looking for a luxury establishment then you are spoilt for choice, this area of Marbella is like Spain’s answer to Saint Tropez.
Buddha Beach combines a pool on the beach front so you can have your choice of sea or pool. There are a range of bed options on offer from a single sunbed to double beds and four poster beds depending on the level of luxury you want. You don’t need to move as there is a snack and drinks service to the sunbeds.
If you do chose to move you can visit the alfresco restaurant where east meets west. Choose from Sushi, fresh local seafood or Thai fusion cuisine or why not a combination. The menu is varied and will have dish to suit all tastes.
Also away from the sunbed you can visit the spa area, where you can get a head or full body massage or immerse your feet in fish with Aqua Sole fish pedicures.
The day doesn’t end when the sun goes down, Buddha beach hosts Limelight Dance events on Thursday nights and Funky Friday pool parties every Friday. On Sundays there’s the brunch buffet the perfect cure for the night before at 35€ for a buffet of thai, sushi, meat and seafood.

Ski in Sierra Nevada
Most people see Marbella as a summer destination; however Marbella is only a couple of hours drive from the Sierra Nevada, a Spanish Ski Resort.
The Ski Season tends to run from the last week in November until the 1st of May, but there does tend to be snow all year round on the peaks, so you can visit at any time of year. If you are visiting Marbella in the summer, Sierra Nevada is also a great destination for walking, cycling, horse riding and mountain climbing.
The highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada are Mulhacén, Veleta and Alcazaba but there are a number of smaller peaks that make up the range. The southern side has long narrow river valleys. The steeper and craggier northern side is more irregular. The ski resort is located on the Northern slopes of Velata.
At the foot of the slope is the resort village of Pradollano, it is home to a large number of shops that rent and sell ski equipment, a supermarket and a number of bars and restaurants and ski schools. The next resort is at the mid station at Borreguiles which is served by two cable cars from Pradollano, there are cafés, restaurants, ski schools, souvenir shops and some hire shops and lockers.
Outside of the winter holidays and weekends, visitors on weekdays will find a fairly quiet resort that does not really suffer from overcrowding. Even holiday and weekend visitors tend only to find short queues if the whole of the resort is open as it covers a large area.
Over the past few years the number of activities you can do at the resort has grown, you can skate at the ice rink, and there are toboggans, ski-bikes mini-skis and a track for wheeled toboggans. The resort has also recently opened a superpark in an area of the resort called Loma de Dilar. This area is geared up for snowboards with half pipes, s boxes, pyramids, gaps, rails and jumps. The area is away from the skiing area and well supervised so you are unlikely to run into any beginner skiers. New for the 2011-2012 season is a new half pipe 165 metres long and 6 metres deep for some really big jumps.
The resort has a selection of different difficulty runs there are 16 Green runs, 40 blue runs, 50 red runs and 9 black runs. So the resort is suitable for both beginners and advanced skiers alike.
If you don’t fancy a week long ski holiday but want a day out, you can stay in Marbella and visit Sierra Nevada. It’s one of the only places in Europe where you can ski in the morning and swim in the sea in the afternoon. So why not visit our Luxury Villa Rental in Marbella and take some time and visit Sierra Nevada while you are in the area.
