Top 5 things to do in Puerto Banus

This small port packs a punch when it comes to things to do. There’s lots to entertain in the vicinity and local area.

It would be remiss to holiday in Puerto Banus and not enjoy a boat trip from the marina. Hop aboard one of the many charters here to go dolphin spotting on the high seas before swimming in secluded bays.
Golf is great here, with plenty of courses just beyond the marina. Aloha Golf Club, just north of the marina, is a popular spot for visitors and locals.
Sitting right on the sea just offshore from Playa Nueva Andalucia, Costa Waterpark is a great place to cool off for the day. Inflatable slides, climbing walls and stepping stones offer a challenging obstacle course on the ocean.
For something a little different, why not hire a segway to explore the marina? There are both independent and guided tours of Puerto Banus and the surrounding coastal towns.
Want to do more than just sail the seas? Book a fishing trip from Puerto Banus marina and you’ll get out on the ocean with a line and hook, ready to catch your lunch.
