Puerto Duquesa

Puerto Duquesa, is another one of Costa del Sol's best-kept secrets. Although within easy reach of the airports of Malaga (45 minutes away) and Gibraltar (30 minutes away), Duquesa seems like a thousand miles away from all the holiday resorts and offers an unparalleled combination of Marina life and tranquillity.

Duquesa lays West of Marbella and Puerto Banus. The area retains a vast amount of unspoilt natural scenery and authentic local character - while sharing the fantastic climate and all the excellent services and infrastructure of the rest of the Costa del Sol. This is primarily due to limited and well-managed developments. The result: an ideal balance of relaxed living with easy access to all amenities, offering a relaxed quality of life.

The beautiful Marina of Duquesa offers full services for boating enthusiasts. The attractive promenades encircling the Port offer a variety of restaurants, intimate bars and cafes in which to while away the days. The vast choice of eating and drinking options include French, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai and, of course, Spanish with its fresh, local fish.

La Duquesa Golf and Country Club boasts an 18-hole course, a technical masterpiece with wonderful sea and mountain views. In addition to golf, the club offers many facilities including tennis, squash and a fully equipped gym with a qualified resident trainer. Membership is available. Further golfing challenges are close at hand: Alcaidesa, a Links course overlooking the Rock of Gibraltar; Valderrama, host of the Ryder Cup and World Championships, only ten minutes from La Duquesa; Sotogrande, a parkland course; and La Canada, a wonderful golf challenge where the fairways are thick and lush. San Roque, host to the qualifying schools, is also only a few minutes away. As if this is not enough, there are another 40-odd courses within an hour's drive.

Whether it's miles of pristine beaches or rugged mountains with their wildlife, the La Duquesa area offers every type of terrain.

Cosmopolitan life can be found only twenty minutes away in the "jet-set" city of Marbella with its hustle and bustle. Just before Marbella, approaching from La Duquesa, is the international resort of Puerto Banus, a popular playground for the rich and famous.

Duquesa has many residential golf developments under construction in the hills above the Marina but are only building on 30% of the land to retain the beautiful greenery of the area.

There is much excitement and interest on the residential growth of Duquesa and surrounding areas with its tighter building control and many golf courses it lends itself for good potential property investment.
