subject: 4-star And 5-star But Cheap Marbella Hotels [print this page] Marbella is a picture of considerable contrast following sequences of apartment-villas. It has evolved to become an undisputed "quality resort" of the famous Costa del Sol. Aside from various accommodations ranging from luxury and cheap Marbella hotels to world class and budget-friendly resorts; this vacation destination also offers a thriving nightlife. In fact, you'll find that bars and restaurants here are more stylish and quite expensive. Perhaps, this won't come as a surprise to people who frequent Europe because it's a known fact that Marbella, Spain has the highest per capita income throughout Europe.
Even its Old Town successfully retained its charm close to the sea and other new developments. Although it's only partially walled now, it is actually still hidden from the main road so there's a tendency to miss it. For the truly rich, staying in one of the luxury or cheap Marbella hotels isn't an option. They are most likely booked in a villa tucked away in the surrounding hills or are phenomenally staying in a luxurious and large yacht by the casino complex of Puerto Banus as well as the marina.
As a prime destination, Marbella offers an excellent climate, natural surroundings, beaches and many major sports complexes. A good example of its high quality infrastructure is that of Puerto Banus - deemed as one of Marbella's most emblematic spots. Apart from the exclusive housing developments that surround it, this marina welcomes some of the world's most luxurious and biggest yachts annually. Facilities offered include a leisure area with restaurants, shops and business premises that sell luxury items as well as big international designer labels. Its 26 kilometers of coastline that runs from Cabopino to Guadalmina offers an array of sun-drenched beaches, residential complexes and modern luxury as well as cheap Marbella hotels.
Even sports buffs will agree that Marbella is the place to be. It has dozens of magnificent golf courses, 3 marinas, a couple of riding schools, tennis clubs and other outdoor sports venues. Another place of interest you'll love in Marbella is its historic quarter where you'll discover the Sierra Blanca hills which feature an amazing layout typical of Andalusian charm. There is also the Plaza De Los Naranios that dates back to the Renaissance Period with its 16th Century City Hall and 17th Century Chief Magistrate's Office. By the small church square, there is the Greater Church of La Encarnacion and the old Arab Fortress.
