Alminar de Marbella is greatly located only 5 minute drive away from the excellent beaches of Marbella's which have been cleaned up and 'landscaped' with oases of palms. Kilometers of sandy beaches are visited by tourists from all over Europe every summer but only a few residents enjoy them all year long due to the great weather which the region enjoys and which has made this coast so famous.

For the ultimate in coastal charisma it would be hard to beat Puerto Banús, just west of the centre of the town. This is the place to be pampered and watch the world go by or window shop at one of several of the world renowned fashion houses and boutiques. The port has grown considerably over the years and now includes a casino, commercial shopping centre, El Corte Ingles department store, marine observatory and a multi cinema with films shown in their original soundtrack. The nightlife is buzzing here with alfresco bars, piano clubs and discos which are open dusk until dawn.
