Puerto Banús
The marina José Banús opened in 1970 with Grace Kelly and Roman Polanski among the first guests — 915 berths, the most concentrated retail frontage in southern Spain, and a thin ring of front-line residences that almost never reach the open market. What trades publicly is the second line; the first line is handled privately.
3 residences on offer.
Puerto Banús is two different markets wearing one name. The marina-front apartments — perhaps 120 residences above the retail arcades — rarely reach the open market, and what turnover exists is almost always private. Behind them, a denser second line lists briskly and publicly.
The product is unique on the coast: no villa stock, no gardens — terraces over berths, with the evening traffic of the marina below. Buyers are either yacht owners wanting the berth-to-bed arrangement, or investors holding the most rentable square metres in Marbella.
We advise on Puerto Banús with one caution: the address is liquid but loud. Clients seeking quiet at €3M+ are usually better served five minutes inland, in Nueva Andalucía.

Asked, before the first visit.
- Can you buy an apartment directly on the Puerto Banús marina?
- Yes, but the front line itself rarely reaches the open market. Second-line residences list publicly; on the €1.5M+ register the Puerto Banús range is €1.6M–€6.9M (13 listings, August 2026), and smaller second-line apartments exist below that floor.
- How much does property in Puerto Banús cost?
- On the August 2026 register snapshot, Puerto Banús asking prices run €1.6M–€6.9M with a median asking €8,136/m² (12 priced listings), dominated by second-line stock. True front-line marina residences ask well above the zone median when they appear at all. There is no villa stock in Puerto Banús proper.
- Is Puerto Banús a good rental investment?
- Short-let demand around the marina is among the strongest in Marbella — retail and nightlife generate year-round traffic that inland zones lack. We publish no yield figures: an honest one would need closing prices and audited rental books, neither of which is public. The trade-off is noise; it is an investor’s product more than a primary residence.
- Who built Puerto Banús?
- José Banús, a Madrid developer, opened the marina in May 1970; the inauguration gala included Grace Kelly of Monaco and film director Roman Polanski, with Julio Iglesias performing. Banús also laid out Nueva Andalucía behind the port as its residential hinterland.
