By Luke Durden in Luxury Hotels

Marbella. It is difficult to mention (or write) this name without automatically thinking of luxury, glamour and relaxation. This city of the province of Malaga, Spain, has its own identity and, in fact, it is better known internationally than the capital itself. Marbella is a destination for exclusive international tourism, and it includes some of the most beautiful and quiet areas of the East of Costa del Sol. It has turned the city into an essential meeting point in summer and a top destination for wellness retreats during the winter.

As well as its exceptional climate and Mediterranean beaches, you will find quality tourism infrastructures and facilities. The hotels in Marbella are mostly 4 or 5 star hotels (or higher) built in exclusive areas, very close to its spectacular beaches or on the hills of the impressive Sierra Blanca.

The so-called Valley of Golf is one of the main centres of this sport in Spain, but Marbella not only offers golf, you can find sailing schools, surf shops, diving, paddle tennis, tennis, running … All that includes enjoying the energy from the open air you will find in this city, mainly due to its surroundings and the natural landscapes that provide the perfect setting to make the most of it.

The city of Marbella, is also one of the most beautiful and with outstanding cultural heritage cities of the Costa del Sol. Its walled Old Town integrates in the historic centre the High Quarter and the New Town, two areas that converge in the famous Plaza de los Naranjos (the Orange Square), where you find a mixture of important buildings of all artistic styles. The atmosphere in this town square is always lively and you can feel the true character of its people, always friendly and sharing smiles with visitors.

Fuerteventura is the place for you this 2015 summer. If you have any doubt, here we have a lot of reasons to convince you.

Kilometres of sand

South Fuerteventura, in the beach hotels area in Jandía, you will be able to enjoy the longest and cared beaches of all the island. Calma Coast, Gaviotas Beach, and last but not least, the famous Matorral Beach, an almost unexplored sand area in the southern peninsula of Fuerteventura. The calm waves coming from the Atlantic Ocean, the shallow sea close to the beach, which makes it the perfect destination for family holiday, even with little babies.

In the Jandía beach the hotels, apartments and hostels offer all kind of services specialized in couples and children, which are the usual customers there. From family bedrooms in front of Jandía beach to restaurants, chill out areas, spa centres and all you can image that would make your summer holiday comfortable.

Ideal to practice surf and windsurf, in this island you will find all you need like some of the best surf classes and international competitions. To rent any sport equipment is really simple and many hotels in Jandía offer you this service and give you discount.

Culture and tradition

Despite being a tourism area, southern Fuerteventura keeps its essence, something we all like to find when we arrive to a different place, near the beach hotels area in Jandía is one of the charming towns of the island: Morro Jable, a port settle where you can still see the fisherman weaving their net and exploring the sea in their boats.

Gastronomy

In this port we will find some of the best seafood restaurants in Fuerteventura. Prices are very affordable, and the fish is fresh, plus the environment is just perfect to spend any day any time and enjoy the Canarias flavour: from the gofio to the Canarian wrinkly potatoes with Mojo sauce. It is important to make a reservation beforehand since being a touristic place sometimes the place gets crowded.

Nature

Jandía peninsula has one of the most beautiful mountain range of all Fuerteventura. It covers a large part of the Pájara’s topography and it hides some secrets like the famous Cofete beach. The hiking routes are spectacular in this area since the ascent isn’t hard and you can enjoy a breathtaking view very easy, you can even go with your children.
