Sightseeing
If you want to experience Gibraltar remember to take your passports as this is British Overseas Territory and they will not let you in without them. There is plenty to do here including visiting old english pubs, great scenic walks, guided rock tours with the monkeys, dolphin watching excursions and much more.

Dining
If you want to eat out at night, there are some very nice restaurants across the Roadbridge near the Villa, 5 minutes walk. The famous La Sala is excellent for food and live entertainment, a 5 minute taxi ride and of course, there is plenty of choice around Puerto Banus Marina. I would also recommend Mosh Fun Kitchen, Kah and Breathe which are all great for just drinks or a nice meal.
We also recommend Trocadero in Estepona. It is a stunning restaurant at the side of the ocean with panoramic views, award winning service and is located 10 minutes from the Villa by taxi.

Marbella Marina Catamaran
If you want a relaxing 30 minute Catamaran sail, go to Puerto Banus Marina and on the front, you’ll see the Catamaran. It sails every 30 minutes to Marbella Marina and you can look back at the whole of the Costa del Sol Coastline from there.
It’s only 15 Euros return trip too which is very reasonable.
