Why You Should Take a Flight to Marbella

The Costa del Sol’s swankier side can be found along Marbella’s 'Golden Mile', where glitzy restaurants, star-studded clubs and luxury hotels are the order of the day and night. Yet, for all the conspicuous consumption gracing its marina at Puerto Banús, there is another side to Marbella. Natural beauty surrounds the resort, care of the graceful Sierra Blanca mountains, and as you stroll past the narrow lanes and bountiful flowerboxes of its old town you are in another world entirely.

When to Book Flights toMarbella

Marbella’s exceptionally mild climate makes it a year-round destination. The temperature peaks in the high 20’s – and flight prices likewise peak – during the summer months of June to October.

There are a lot fewer tourists during autumn and winter, so you find it easier to find a bargain flight to Marbella, but some restaurants and attractions do close during this time.
