Getting to Puerto Banus
The area of Puerto Banus lies in between the towns of Marbella and San Pedro on the southern Andalucian coast.
It is easily accessible by road, bus and taxi – and of course by sea! If you are not lucky enough to be able to sail into the port then the easiest option is to drive.
Getting to Puerto Banus is easy. From Malaga International airport (which is the nearest airport) it will take you about 50 minutes by car via the coast road (N340), or you can take the toll road which will shave about 10 minutes off your journey time, the distance is around 65kms. When you leave the airport, follow the signs towards Cadiz and follow the N340 for the entire journey. You will drive past signs for Marbella and you will begin to see signs to San Pedro Alcantara.
Eventually you will pass a large golf course on your right, called Los Naranjos, which is easily recognizable by the mesh fencing that divides the course from the main road. You will soon see a large El Corte Ingles department store on your left hand side. You need to take the next exit which is signed Puerto Banus and Nueva Andalucia.
When you arrive in it might be difficult to find street parking in the centre. The best thing to do is to park up in one of the numerous multi story or underground car parks. There is a large car park at the side of El Corte Ingles and there is also a large underground car park beneath the main Antonio Banderas Square. Both of these are very central and within a short distance of all the shops and the marina area.
You can get to Puerto Banus easily from Gibraltar airport to the west, which is also about 50 minutes drive. Gibraltar airport is in the process of increasing the number of flight available, however the choice of carriers is nowhere near as extensive as it is from Malaga. When you leave Gibraltar follow the signs to the N340 towards Estepona and Malaga. Once again you need to stay on the N340 for the whole time until you see El Corte Ingles, this time on your right. Take the first exit when you see the store.
Whichever direction you are approaching Puerto Banus from; you also have the option of taking the new AP7 toll road. You have to pay for each section you drive on of course, but it has the benefit of being much quieter and generally faster than the coast road. The AP7 and the coast road merge together at a couple of points along the way so you may go through a number of toll booths.
A bus service is also available along the whole coast but if you are coming to Puerto Banus from anywhere east of Marbella, you will have to stop and change in Marbella town centre. There is no train service to Puerto Banus.
