Home description
Originally purchased as a holiday home for ourselves, the apartment is decorated to a high standard and is equipped with all the little extras that make a trip stress free. When you arrive at Marina de la Duquesa you are not on your own, you will be met and shown to the apartment (whatever time of day or night this may be).
Duquesa Port provides a fantastic selection of bars and restaurants and makes a great base from which to explore the famous white villages of Andalucia, Puerto Banus and Marbella (30 mins) or enjoy a game on one of the many golf courses.
Situated on the beach front and adjacent to the port, you will find this location and apartment hard to beat.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
Duquesa is midway between Marbella and Gibralter on the Costa del Sol - popular for its 320 days of sunshine a year. Africa can often be seen from the miles of sandy beaches.
Andalicia is famous for its white villages, nestled in the surrounding hills and mountains, the closest of these 'Casares' is a 20 min drive through the countryside and makes a great location for lunch, while you admire the breathtaking views.
The Costa del Sol is a golfer's paradise withover 60 courses on the coast including Valderrama (20 mins drive).
Elegant Marbella and Puerto Banus the local 'playground of the rich' are a 30 minute drive.
British owned Gibralter (30 mins) is an alternative day trip, with its VAT free prices, spectacular scenery and the only native monkey colony in Europe.
Duquesa / Puerto de la Duquesa area
Duquesa Port is one of Spain's best kept secrets. Attractive promenades encircling the marina of gently bobbing boats, offer a variety of restaurants, bars and cafes in which to while away the hours.
To either side of the port are great sandy beaches which never get crowded, both of which have beach bars open during the summer months.
Behind the port lies an 18 hole golf course (Duquesa Golf), with fabulous views of the Mediterranean.
Sabinillas is a 5 minute walk along the beach. It is an authentic Spanish fishing village, with a traditional selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Here you can witness the daily catch, as local fisherman bringing their boats onto the beach. Then you can select one of the great fish (or other) restaurants for lunch.
5 mins inland from Sabinillas a great Sunday market is held, which attracts many visitors.
How to get there
Malaga airport is a 50 minute drive on the motorway, Gibralter airport is a 30 minute drive. From the airport you may choose to take a taxi to the apartment (approx 75 euros / £55 from Malaga or 40 euros / £30 from Gibraltar). If you prefer car hire, we can arrange a quote for you. We are a good customer of Brunos Car Hire and often receive discounts or upgrades for our customers. We get the quote and send it to you by email.
