Discover Marbella with Las Dunas Hotel!

August 6, 2024

August is the perfect month to enjoy Marbella, one of the jewels of Spain’s Costa del Sol.

With our Mediterranean climate, some of the most spectacular beaches and an exciting social life, Marbella offers a host of leisure activities for the whole family, for a couple’s getaway or for trips where you’re looking for fun and laughter with friends.

Hotel Las Dunas, located just 10km from Marbella, is also the ideal choice for those who want to enjoy the charms of Marbella or discover Puerto Banús, but at the same time relax and be pampered when it’s time to return to their room.

With the arrival of the month of August, and being that it is a question that many of our guests ask us, we have prepared an article in which we tell you what are in our opinion the things that you cannot miss in Marbella.

Let’s get started!

Some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean

The beach is always a plus on summer trips and even more so during the month of August.

In this case, Marbella is well known for both the quality of its beaches and its transparent water. There are many beaches to visit, most of them with incredible clubs where you can have a snack or a cold drink, but, in our opinion, these are the beaches that cannot be missing in your list:

• Fontanilla Beach: located close to the city centre, this beach is ideal for families and has a wide variety of chiringuitos (beach bars) where you can enjoy the best gastronomy or a refreshing cocktail.

• Puerto Banús beach: perfect beach for those looking for a more exclusive atmosphere, with views of the sea where you can often be surprised by yachts and an exciting social life.

• Cabopino Beach: with natural dunes and a more relaxed atmosphere, this beach is the best recommendation for those looking for a quieter environment.

Marbella as a historic centre in Andalusia

The Old Town of Marbella is a place full of charm and history that is able to transport us to another era and take us back in time in the blink of an eye.

Strolling through its narrow streets, the most picturesque squares, its white houses with flowers on their balconies and the art that oozes from all four sides are more than enough reasons to make it a must on a trip.

But if there are two key points that you should not miss, it is these:

• The Plaza de los Naranjos: the heart of the Old Town, surrounded by restaurants and cafés, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

• The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación: a beautiful baroque church dating back to the 16th century that will take you through the centuries and take you on a journey through the history of Marbella.

Gastronomy with the best Mediterranean flavours

Marbella is a paradise for lovers of good food. Not only can we enjoy the best flavours of the typical Mediterranean diet, but also the best products that come directly from the port and the fish markets.

A tip, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Central Market to see the freshest local produce.

As an international capital, Marbella also boasts some of the best international restaurants and the most reputable and distinguished chefs.

Visit Puerto Banús and let yourself be carried away by its glamour

Puerto Banús is the epicentre of luxury and glamour in Marbella. Just sitting on one of its terraces is reason enough to make a getaway and find your way to the port.

Without a doubt, the best restaurants, the most luxurious shops and high-end brands or admiring the yachts moored in the port are an excuse to spend at least one day in Puerto Banús.

Hotel Las Dunas, an oasis of tranquillity in the midst of Marbella’s social life

Las Dunas is a large 5 star luxury boutique resort on the beachfront in Estepona, Malaga. It is located midway between the rustic charm of Estepona and the glamour and hustle and bustle of Puerto Banus, which is only 10 kms away. And we are only 15 minutes from the vibrant offerings of Marbella.

Las Dunas is a five-star luxury beach and health retreat, an ideal place for relaxation, rejuvenation and rebirth, featuring a spa, a new state-of-the-art gym and yoga studio and two restaurants. Guests can choose from a selection of detox and wellness programmes consisting of a personalised combination of healthy diet, gentle exercise, medical consultations and spa treatments. Guests will leave feeling completely revitalised and with a new lease of life.
