Marbella Centre Villas

For travellers who want the real Marbella — historic streets, buzzing tapas bars and golden beaches all within walking distance — nothing beats staying in the centre of town. Central Marbella pairs the charm of a centuries-old Andalusian Old Town with a modern seafront and some of the coast's best beaches. A villa in Marbella Centre puts the city's culture, dining and sand right on your doorstep.

Authentic Marbella, beach and Old Town in one

While the marinas and the Golden Mile grab the headlines, central Marbella is where the city's soul lives. Here you will find narrow whitewashed lanes draped in bougainvillea, lively plazas, family-run restaurants and an easy, year-round rhythm of local life. It is the most walkable part of Marbella — the kind of place where you leave the car at the villa and explore on foot.

The Old Town & Orange Square

The Casco Antiguo (Old Town) is the jewel of central Marbella: a maze of cobbled streets opening onto the picture-perfect Plaza de los Naranjos (Orange Square), with its 16th-century town hall and orange trees. Browse independent boutiques, settle in for long tapas lunches and soak up an atmosphere that has been centuries in the making. Nearby, the Avenida del Mar links the town to the beach past a collection of original Salvador Dalí sculptures.

Beaches & the seafront promenade

Central Marbella enjoys excellent beaches and a long, palm-fringed paseo marítimo (seafront promenade) that stretches for kilometres in both directions. Spend lazy days on the sand, lunch at a beachfront chiringuito, then walk back into the Old Town for dinner as the lights come on. Few destinations make it this easy to combine beach, culture and great food in a single day.

• Culture lovers who want history, atmosphere and authentic Spanish life.
