When planning a holiday in Marbella, choosing the right place to stay is one of the most important steps in shaping your experience. The city offers a wide variety of types of travel accommodation — from centrally located apartments ideal for short city breaks, to luxurious villas perfect for family holidays or group getaways. At Banús Rentals, we understand that the right accommodation can elevate your entire trip. That’s why we’re here to help you choose between an apartment, a villa or a penthouse, ensuring your stay in Marbella is exactly as you envisioned.
Types of travel accommodation for your trip: which one is right for you?
Choosing between an apartment, a villa or a penthouse depends on your personal preferences and the kind of holiday you’re planning:
- If you’re looking for a romantic or luxury escape, a penthouse with sea or mountain views is the perfect choice. Its exclusivity and unique style will provide you with an unforgettable experience.
- If you’re travelling with family or a group of friends, a villa is your best option. The spacious layout, privacy, and luxury amenities such as a private pool make villas ideal for creating special memories with your loved ones.
- If you’re planning a short stay or prefer to be in the heart of the action, an apartment may be the most convenient choice. Centrally located, with easy access to all of Marbella’s attractions, it allows you to enjoy the city in total comfort.
Apartments: comfort and ideal location
If you’re planning a short break and want to make the most of Marbella’s central location, apartments are an excellent option. At Banús Rentals, we offer a curated selection of apartments in prime areas — whether near the beach, in the historic Old Town, or in the vibrant Puerto Banús district.
Apartments in Marbella are perfect for those seeking a practical and comfortable base, with quick access to restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions, and all essential services nearby.
Advantages:
- Location: Apartments are often located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore everything Marbella has to offer.
- Convenience: Ideal for couples or solo travellers who don’t need too much space.
- Access to services: With everything close by, you can enjoy all the city’s amenities without having to travel far.
Disadvantages:

Villas: space, privacy and luxury for families or larger groups
If you’re looking for luxury, space and total privacy, villas and holiday homes in Marbella are the perfect choice. At Banús Rentals, we offer dream villas in exclusive areas such as Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía, and the Marbella hills. With private gardens, swimming pools and spacious terraces, villas are ideal for families, large groups, or anyone wanting to enjoy maximum comfort and tranquillity.
Advantages:

- Luxury ambience: Villas are often elegantly and stylishly decorated, with all the amenities for a top-tier holiday experience.
Disadvantages:
- Villas are generally more expensive than other types of tourist accommodation due to their size and location.

Penthouses: exclusivity and stunning views for a romantic or luxury escape
If you’re looking for a more exclusive experience with breathtaking views, a penthouse is the ideal choice. At Banús Rentals, we offer luxury penthouses with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea or the surrounding Marbella mountains. These holiday rentals provide a unique experience, perfect for a romantic getaway, a special occasion or simply enjoying the elevated feeling of exclusivity.
