The marina has changed
Banús in 2026 is less Russian, more Saudi, more US. The food has quietly improved.
High-end
Cipriani — the Bellinis are the best in town. Book three weeks ahead in season. Nobu Marbella (at Hotel Puente Romano, 5 min away) — still the benchmark. COYA — Peruvian-Japanese, the best garden table on the coast. Salduna Beach — the upgraded successor to Trocadero's beach concept.
