Marbella Best European Wedding Destination 2024

Forbes recently published the results of the annual The 20 Best European Destinations in 2024 survey, voted for by over a million travellers from 172 countries, with Marbella coming out on top!

Marbella’s Success Is Built Upon Its Flexibility

Marbella is so popular because it appears able to do just that – cater to many different interests and tastes. The town has a distinct flavour that centres upon modern glamour, but it is also capable of offering so much more, including satisfying those who seek sport, gastronomy, luxury pampering in resort hotels or private villas, an active social life and leisure activities.

You can also venture out for extreme sports in the nearby mountain ranges, aquatic distractions, high-end shopping, culture in Málaga, or experience authentic Andalucía in the adjacent countryside villages. Enjoy a cosmopolitan environment, modern amenities, nature, peace and relaxation. In short, Marbella’s star is built not just upon glamour but also upon infinite variety.

Add to this a very long ski season in the nearby Sierra Nevada, which almost overlaps with the long surf season in hippie chic settings such as Tarifa, and it further broadens the horizons. Marbella is many different things to different people, and in a myriad of ways allows you to design your preferred lifestyle, whether you live here or come for short getaways or extended stays. Naturally, safety, convenience of travel connections, and a welcoming environment also play a vital role in the mix, and in this regard the Costa del Sol again scores high, situated far away from conflict zones and urban trouble spots.
