Holidays in Duquesa Port (West Costa del Sol)

Situated in the south of Spain, in West Costa del Sol, Duquesa Port is probably the most beautiful recreational port in the Andalucian Cost. Built in a U shape using lovely medium size white buildings, it is composed of three levels that accommodate bars, restaurants and apartments. Its small size and family oriented local businesses make it the ideal setting for those looking to enjoy some relaxing family time, quite and clean beaches and more than 30 eating out options.
Duquesa Port is also the heart of the most exclusive municipality of Manilva: La Duquesa. A residential and holiday area built around Duquesa Port and Duquesa golf course. La Duquesa is comprised of small and big complexes and some detached and semidetached houses which are the permanent home of approx. 5,000 residents and the holiday homes of an increasing number of very well informed travellers.
The area is well served by the municipality of Sabinillas and has all the services one may expect from a modern holiday resort.
And in the centre of it all is where our apartment is: a southwest facing apartment in the most emblematic beachfront holiday complex in the area, Marina de la Duquesa.
A beach right at your doorstep, 4 swimming pools, great all-year-round weather, kilometres of sandy beaches and a great choice of local and international cuisine. Does this sound too good to be true? It's not! Give us a try!

Costa del Sol
Its touristic development has led Costa del Sol to reach the highest standards in the world for this kind of industry, permitting travellers to choose from a never ending set of beaches, holiday rentals, hotels, restaurants, bars and all sort of activities, from a Cocodrile Park to whale watching, suiting all tastes and most budgets.
While Marbella, Torremolinos or Benalmadena still very popular, some people are looking for more relaxed holiday resorts that focus on families, golf players and middle aged couples looking for peace, safety, unpacked beaches and a great culinary offer! And this is what Duquesa Port has to offer. Look at the above picture, does it look appealling?
