Casa Capitan is located in the exclusive and tranquil urbanisation of Puerto Del Capitan, close to the village of Benahavis, inland from Marbella and Estapona. It is minutes from amazing golf courses, stunning beaches and the entertainment of the upscale resorts of Marbella and Puerto Banus. Benahavis, the village, might be small but it is home to many fabulous restaurants and is known as the ‘Gastronomic Corner of Andalucia’. It is home to Sabor, a Malaga catering school. Many of the dishes in the restaurants are Spanish but with a modern twist. One of the most typical dishes is marinated pork fillet following a very traditional recipe but you will also find fresh fish from Estapona and Marbella and cuisine from many corners of the world.
The Costa del Sol has 23 stunning, sandy beaches along its 27kms of coastline. Close to the villa you will discover the beautiful San Pedro Beach, Playa Fontanilla, Playa Naguelese, Playa Cabopino, Playa de la Rada and Playa del Padron in Estapona. With 325 sunny days, the climate is fantastic and perfect for wonderful beach days. Many of the beaches enjoy fabulous watersports and groovy beach bars.
Marbella is renowned for its Michelin-starred restaurants, fabulous golf courses, luxury yacht marinas, designer boutiques and stunning golden sandy beaches. Plaza de los Naranjos, the old part of Marbella is utterly charming with its gorgeous Arabic characteristics and balconies adorned with colourful bougainvillea and other flowers. The roads are lined with unique, friendly local shops offering souvenirs, olive oil, local pottery and lace. The stunning Plaza de la Iglesia often hosts buzzy markets and concerts.
Puerto Banus, designed and built in 1970 by local property developer Jose Banus, is fantastic for shopping, dining and star spotting. Again, it is a playground for the rich with plenty of Ferraris and luxury yachts to admire. The luxury Sala Beach and Ocean Club Marbella are just two of the upmarket beach clubs featuring delicious cocktails, flowing champagne, gastronomic delights and attentive staff waiting at your whim.
