Location of The Harbour Club & Puerto de la Duquesa

West of Marbella, stretching almost to Gibraltar, lies one of Spain's best kept secrets - the unspoilt western Costa del Sol. One of the loveliest parts of Andalucia, the area is just 2.5 hours flying time from most major European airports, very close to the North African coast, on the same latitude as California. And now, thanks to the new highway, it's all very easily accessible.

Puerto de la Duquesa is a pretty port situated between Estepona and Gibraltar. The port has many bars and restaurants for its visitors to enjoy. You can take a picturesque walk from the port to the nearby village of Sabinillas or El Castillo which both give a flavour of the real Spain. Sabinillas holds two weekly markets, on Fridays and Sundays, the latter having many interesting bric a brac stalls, antiques and local produce.
Head into the hills and 15 minutes away is the beautiful hillside village of Casares. Steeped in history, this village has an ancient church perched on its highest point which presents its visitors with amazing views to the sea, coast, Gibraltar and Africa.

Families will love a day out in the Selwo Safari Park, which can be found only 20 minutes away. Selwo is home to many wild animals, all of which can be seen either on foot or by taking the various tours aboard their specialised jeeps. If you want to venture further afield, Selwo Marine Park can be found in Benalmadena, with daily dolphin shows, penguin experience and much more.

There are 2 waterparks within driving distance of The Harbour Club. Bahia Park is located in Algeciras and is more family orientated. Mijas Aquatic Park is in Fuengirola and has larger slides for the bigger kids to enjoy! Both are open from approximately May to September, weather permitting.


If you are a keen golfer then Puerto de la Duquesa is an ideal location. As we are located between Marbella and Sotogrande, there are over 30 golf courses in the surrounding area including the world famous Valderrama course, The San Roque Club (home of the Spanish Golf Open 2005) and the Duquesa Golf course located just across the road. We will be happy to book tee times for you upon request [see Golf Page for more info].

Or if you prefer a thoroughly relaxing break, with sunlit days spent exploring beautiful coast and countryside and ending in romantic candlelit dinners, then this is your prefect holiday too!
