Occidental Puerto Banús is a smart base for a Costa del Sol golf break if you want your courses by day and a bit of Marbella buzz by night. You're right by the action here, just 300 metres from the marina and 600 metres from the beach, with high-end shops, bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Málaga Airport is around 40 minutes away, so it works well for short stays and long weekends.
Golf-wise, you've got serious choice nearby, with 22 highly rated courses across the Costa del Sol within easy reach. If you fancy ticking off a couple of big names, Aloha is a classic in the so-called Golf Valley, while Finca Cortesin is a proper championship test and a brilliant day out. The key benefit is flexibility: you can build a trip around top-end venues, then come back to Puerto Banús for dinner and a wander along the front.
Back at the hotel, you'll find two outdoor pools and 291 bright rooms designed for switching off between rounds. It's a straightforward, well-located option for groups and couples who want reliable comfort, easy logistics and plenty to do when the clubs are back in the bag.
Who is this for?
Groups and couples looking for quality Costa del Sol courses, sunshine and a slice of Marbella's glamorous lifestyle, all within easy reach of the airport.
Who is it best for?
Golfers who want a well-located base to play championship courses while enjoying lively nightlife, luxury shopping and Mediterranean dining just outside the door.
