Puerto Banus

Puerto Jose Banus. A place for million dollar babes. "The" chic part of Marbella for the rich and famous. And I mean rich. It is also a place to show what you have. Every single day turists are walking around taking pictures of the boats and the people..  Its like a huge breathing aquarium.

And not just boats.. cars are not bad either

Puerto Banus was built by property developer Jose Banus. He was considered a real visioner,  this kind of port was  something completely new to think of  and build  in the sixties Spain. Jose Banus was a dear friend of Francos and his orginal  plan for the puerto was to create something extravaganza for the Royalties and other famous people.
A new meeting place - and that is excatly what Puerto Banus still is.
The list of people that visits Puerto Banus each year, or has visited is quite fab .. and endless.

This complex was opened in May 1970. Already at the opening party there was a stunning guest list..

"playboy" Hugh Hefner, Roman Polanski, Princess Grace of Monaco and Rainier...

Port is not very big, it only takes in 915 yachts and boats. But, they are all amazing.. big bigger the biggest! The King of Saudi Arabia keeps his boat here among many others. We heard stories that in the 80's when P. Banus was a real big hit, some visitors had so huge yachts that they could not enter the port and had to leave their boats to Malaga.

Shopping is another thing that makes Puerto Banus famous. Money talks, we others just walk..

Do you think they sell just paper-bags? I also like to play with the idea that I would just walk into the  shops and ask to try on some of the clothes they have, would they let me or would they just kick me out?

all shopping in Puerto Banus is cool..

WE LIKE PUERTO BANUS! 
I think its cool:)
