Villa Vanesa

Villa Vanesa is located near Puerto Banús, which lies to the west of Marbella. However, this hasn’t always been the case - It was conceived and built by a property developer, Jose Banús, in 1970 – a kind of playground for the rich and famous with a yacht-filled marina, restaurants, designer boutiques and plenty of sports cars around. It certainly enjoys a spectacular location, with the La Concha mountain in the background, and the equally glamorous city of Marbella so close by.

It’s not all fine dining in Puerto Banús – you will find plenty of places to enjoy a pizza, burger or simple breakfast, most of which is only a 5-10 minute walk from the villa. You’ll find no shortage of nightlife if you’re looking for it, but Puerto Banús also has something for younger visitors too, with a children’s play area on Antonio Banderas Square. In summer there are daily street markets on this square too, contrasting with the high-end fashion labels you will find lining the Port area. Even if you’re not buying, it’s fun to people-watch.
