Duquesa is a marina situated half way between Marbella and Gibraltar. Set in a beautiful location on the Costa del Sol, this marina is really one of the best in Europe. Although within easy reach of the airports of Malaga (40 minutes) and Gibraltar (30 minutes), La Duquesa seems like a thousand miles away from the throng of the holiday resorts and offers an unparalleled quality of life in Southern Spain.

Nestled between two clean blue flag beaches complete with beach bars, the port of Duquesa seems a million miles away from the hustle and bustle you would normally expect from the Costa del Sol.

At this time the area is lucky enough not to have been exploited by the package holiday companies and the only type of accommodation available in Duquesa other than the golf club is private.

All this said don't be fooled into thinking Duquesa is a back water resort with nothing to offer because this certainly is not the case.

The port boasts a wide choice of amenities including a supermarket, bank, butcher and a wide choice of affordable, top class restaurants which include Chinese, Thai, Italian, English and not forgetting Spanish cuisine. There's also a great Italian ice cream shop as well as many boutiques and numerous bars.

Across the road from the Marina is situated Duquesa Golf and Country Club which has some fantastic facilities - see the Golf page.

All in all Duquesa is the kind of place to unwind and have fun. Whatever your age or type of holiday you are looking for you will be more than pleased with what Duquesa has to offer.
