A brief history course on Marbella
After being an important mining town in the 19th century, Marbella subsequently became a fishing village. The Spanish city turned into a resort destination in the latter half of the 20th century.
It is located in the autonomous community of Andalusia, 57 km southwest of the province of Malaga and 100 km northeast of the Strait of Gibraltar. A very large part of the local population concentrates in the cities of Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara. The rest is situated in the peripheral urban areas, including Nueva Andalucia and Las Chapas. The means of access are:
- By plane: the nearest is Malaga International Airport, located 45 km away;
- By road: by taking the A-397 tourist road from Ronda, which allows for admiring Andalusian villages and landscapes. It is also possible to take the RN-340 and the Costa del Sol road;
- By train: Fuengirola station is 27 km from Marbella.
Why go to Marbella for your corporate retreat?
Marbella is one of the cities on the Costa del Sol that attracts the most tourists, thanks to its extraordinary landscapes. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers, while winter is mild and wet.
Sports enthusiasts will not be disappointed with the trip, as it has several golf courses and beautiful relaxation areas, perfect for an exclusive team retreat.
The city is full of points of interest such as the historic city center, the Grabado museum, the Rio Verde Roman villa, etc. The lively streets and the port housing yachts will amaze you throughout your corporate retreat.
What's the agenda during the stay in Marbella?
The hotel where you will stay offers magnificent rooms, apartments, or suites designed for optimizing the relaxation of its residents. It benefits from a unique decoration that invariably immerses you in an exotic setting. Additional facilities such as pools, a gym, or restaurants allow you to unwind after a day full of emotions. Below is an idea for a program for your corporate trip to Marbella.
Day 1: Welcome to Marbella!
Upon your arrival at Malaga airport, you will be welcomed and accompanied to the hotel to drop off your luggage and freshen up.
Marbella is a city that has preserved its historical and artistic heritage to make you travel in time. Once ready, visit exceptional sites such as the seventeenth-century Church of Santa Maria de la Encarnación or the small squares with their typical Andalusian charm.
Don’t miss the Port Banus where several luxury yachts anchor for the pleasure of strollers. Some are open to visitors and ensure an unforgettable festive moment on board. A DJ will set the mood while you enjoy the sunset.
In the evening, a tasting session of exotic dishes will be offered. To enhance your experience, our team takes care to select convivial establishments.
Day 2: Relaxation and discovery
The hotel will cook you an original breakfast reflecting the city. To make the most of your free time, discover other historical attractions or the beautiful beaches of Marbella.
Take advantage of your stay in Marbella to explore a “Finca” or estate in Spanish. As per local tradition, a welcome drink will be offered before a trailer ride to admire fighting bulls and the “tienta” process. This is the test for selecting breeding cows and bulls.
A cocktail dinner in the patio, inside the property’s courtyard, will precede your return to the hotel.
Day 3: Strengthening and feedback
After breakfast, get ready for your work meeting and a team building session of quad biking. This activity aims to strengthen trust and cohesion in your team while exploring the sites of the Costa del Sol. Share a moment of euphoria and strong sensations under the sun of Marbella!
Conclude your corporate retreat with a meal in a traditional restaurant in the city offering a typical southern menu: perota soup, Malagueña style clams… Don’t forget to immortalize these special moments with photos and memories before heading to the airport!
