HISTORY
Puerto Banús traces its beginnings to the 1960s, when visionary entrepreneur José Banús embarked on the development of a luxury residential area known as Nueva Andalucía. A pivotal encounter with Noldi Schreck—renowned architect and designer of iconic Beverly Hills— inspired Banús to pursue a more ambitious and internationally oriented project.
Thus, the concept of Puerto Banús was born: a Mediterranean village infused with Andalusian charm, featuring elegant avenues, vibrant gardens, and a stunning seaside setting. The grand inauguration took place in 1970, attended by over 1,500 distinguished guests, including members of the Spanish royal family, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco as guests of honour, and a young Julio Iglesias, who captivated attendees with his music.
Before long, the world’s most iconic brands found their place in this fashionable new destination. In just a few years, Puerto Banús had become the preferred playground for global elites. Its streets have since been graced by royalty, legendary performers like Prince, Rod Stewart, and Maria Callas, and cinematic legends such as Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, and Brigitte Bardot—among many others.
