Tips and suggestions for shopping in Marbella

Shopping in Marbella can be the perfect way to round off your holiday. Luxury boutiques, major brands, small traditional shops and street markets offer something for every taste and budget. If you want to make the most of a day’s shopping, take note of these tips.

 

Choose the area depending on what you’re looking for

Before you head out, think about the type of shops you want to visit. If you’re looking for luxury labels and major international brands, Puerto Banús is one of the places not to be missed. To discover small shops, local crafts and traditional products, there’s nothing better than wandering through the streets of Marbella’s Old Town. You can also head to Ricardo Soriano Avenue or visit shopping centres such as La Cañada, where you’ll find a wide variety of stores.

Check opening times before you go

Opening times can vary depending on the shop, the time of year and public holidays. Before making a special trip to a particular store, check its website or official profile to make sure you know when it is open. Do the same for street markets, especially if your visit coincides with a local festival or public holiday.

Visit the street markets in the morning

If you enjoy browsing street markets, set aside a morning to visit one of those held in Marbella and the surrounding area. You’ll find everything from clothes and accessories to handicrafts, fresh produce and decorative items. It’s best to arrive with plenty of time so you can browse the stalls at your own pace and perhaps pick up a bargain or two.

Avoid the hottest part of the day

During the summer months, try to do your shopping early in the morning or later in the afternoon, especially if you’re planning to explore Marbella’s Old Town or Puerto Banús on foot. As well as enjoying more pleasant temperatures, you can combine your shopping trip with a stroll and stop for a drink at one of the many terraces.

Keep your receipts

Keep your receipts, especially when buying clothes, accessories or more expensive items. They’ll come in handy if you need to exchange or return anything. It’s also a good idea to check each shop’s returns policy, as conditions can vary from one store to another.

Find out about Tax Free shopping

If you normally live outside the European Union, you may be entitled to claim a VAT refund on purchases made during your trip. Let the shop know when you make your purchase and keep the documentation they give you. Remember that you must meet the applicable requirements and take the purchased goods out of the European Union within three months of the date of purchase.

 

ACCOMMODATION

If you decide to come to Marbella to go shopping, we recommend staying at El Fuerte Marbella.  This accommodation has an exceptional zone in central Marbella and right on the beach, just steps from the old area of town, full of shops and restaurants with terraces.
