The Costa del Sol in Spain is recognised worldwide for its fantastic climate, having some 320 days of sunshine a year on average and its superb golden sandy Mediterranean beaches.

Las Tortugas is located in the foothills of La Conche Mountain, the emblematic symbol of Marbella and next to Lago de Tortugas (Turtle Lake), a well known natural beauty spot. We are very close to Puerto Banus and only 10 minutes from Marbella, two of the most renowned points on the Costa del Sol. Between them is the well known "Golden Mile", with its 5 star hotels, restaurants and shops.

A visit to stylish Marbella, is a must with its elegant shops and beach front walk way. The historic and picturesque old town, with its cobbled streets and famous “ Orange Square” shouldn’t be missed.

Los Naranjos golf is perfect for lunch or a coffee, sitting on the terrace overlooking the course. Centro Plaza has the banks and supermarkets and of course, Banus the nightlife and shopping.

Puerto Banus is the most fashionable resort in Spain. Some of the most impressive yachts are moored in the bustling Marina. There is something for everyone with the many cafes, restaurants and boutiques clustered around the peaceful harbour.

Why not relax and watch the world go by, you may even spot a famous face or two as they stroll by? Or take a boat trip along the coast or even to Gibraltar. We can arrange for private day trips for up to 6 people on a 40ft Sunseeker power boat.

If the beach is your preference, why not try the famous Silks Beach Club, about 15 minutes away. There is an excellent restaurant and you could take one of the very large king size beds for the meal and sun bathing. After lunch take a massage, without leaving your bed!!

Shopping is some of the best anywhere, with designer names such as Gucci, Chanel, Armani and Versace in abundance. There is also a large commercial shopping centre with the wonderful department store, El Corte Ingles situated at the entrance to Puerto Banus.
