Marbella, 14th September, 1 week, Flights & Hotel, €366!

Want the glitz and glamour of Marbella without the hefty price tag? Read on…

Marbella is one of Spain’s most glamorous resorts. Although known as the Spanish St Tropez, it has much more to offer than just fashion and ferraris. The pretty old town is full of cobbled stone streets, colourful window boxes and local art galleries. The beaches are superb, particularly along the golden mile, which stretches from Marbella into Puerto Banus. There are plenty of dining options available. Choose local eateries serving Spanish cuisine at reasonable prices, fine dining in michelin star restaurants or celeb hang outs, such as the Marbella Club. Of course if you want to mingle with celebrities, ogle at the super yachts and shop in Chanel, then it’s probably best to pop into Puerto Banus, just 6 km from the old town of Marbella.

I have chosen the popular San Cristobal hotel which is right in the heart of Marbella and is highly rated on tripadvisor. This hotel was awarded a certificate of excellence and many clients return to stay here each year. It does not have a swimming pool but is located beside the beach. If you fancy chilling out after a late night on the town, it has a sun terrace which offers free wifi! Fly from Dublin on the 14th of September and spend seven nights here for only €366 per person.
