Nueva Andalucía is a residential area just inland from Puerto Banús, known for its golf courses and quieter streets and nicknamed the Golf Valley. It suits families and golfers who want more space and calm while staying close to the marina.
Spread across low hills behind Banús, it mixes golf resorts, villas and apartment complexes with local shops and a well-known weekly market. It's quiet and residential by day and evening, with the marina's action a short trip away when you want it.
Getting around
Puerto Banús is only a few minutes by car or taxi, and Marbella's centre around 15–20 minutes; Málaga–Costa del Sol (AGP) is roughly 45–55 minutes, and a car is useful here given the spread-out layout.
