Puerto Banús marina seen from the air at golden hour

Puerto Banús is an iconic marina in Marbella, conceived in 1970 by architects Noldi Schreck and Marcos Sáinz for the visionary developer José Banús. Inspired by the elegance of Mediterranean village architecture, the marina blends Andalusian charm with refined luxury.

Today it is known around the world for its yachts, boutiques and social life, and remains one of the most distinguished destinations on the Costa del Sol.

Everything human changes, as does architecture and the way we look at it.

Intuition, insight, the pursuit of emotions.
