Marbella

Mediterranean resort on the Costa del Sol with an open-coast approach and a largely microtidal regime; easterly Levante winds can kick up short, steep seas on the entrance, while westerly Poniente brings calmer conditions and clearer air. Inside, the harbour basins are well sheltered.

About Marbella

This stretch of the western Mediterranean is mostly tide-insensitive, so wind and set dominate day-to-day conditions. Levante tends to be the onshore, choppy pattern; Poniente is the more settled, offshore-leaning flow. Around Marbella you’ll find a range of harbours—from a major superyacht hub to compact town basins—making it straightforward to match berths and approaches to weather and season.
