Marbella Travel FAQs
Is Marbella expensive?
Marbella caters to all budgets. While Puerto Banus and the Golden Mile are known for luxury (€200+/night hotels, €100+ dinners), you can find excellent mid-range options in the Old Town and eastern beaches. Budget €80–150/night for solid 3–4 star hotels, or €15–25 for quality tapas meals away from the marina.
What's the best time to visit Marbella?
May–June and September–October offer the sweet spot: 25–28°C temperatures, lower hotel rates than peak summer, and fewer crowds. July–August is hottest and busiest. Winter (November–March) is mild (15–20°C) — perfect for golf.
Is Marbella safe?
Very safe. Marbella has low crime rates compared to major European cities. Standard precautions apply in crowded areas, but violent crime is extremely rare. It's a family-friendly destination.
