Where to sleep in Marbella — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Old Town — orange trees and lanes
Whitewashed alleys around Plaza de los Naranjos — the prettiest base, minutes from the sand.
Golden Mile — the classic resorts
The palm-lined stretch toward Puerto Banús: beach clubs, gardens, serious pools.
Puerto Banús — the show
Superyachts and supercars. Stay here for the nightlife, visit otherwise.
San Pedro — the local's Marbella
Same beaches, family prices, a proper Spanish town center.
