Shopping on the Costa del Sol: from Puerto Banús glamour to local markets
Shopping on the Costa del Sol isn’t one experience, it’s a spectrum.
One day you’re walking past superyachts, marble façades and the world’s most exclusive fashion houses. Another day you’re strolling through a local market, buying handmade jewellery or fresh produce for a terrace lunch.
That contrast is exactly what makes shopping here so satisfying. And staying at Casa Calma means you can enjoy every level of it. without living inside traffic, crowds or noise.
Puerto Banús: where luxury becomes a lifestyle
Puerto Banús is not just a marina. It’s one of Europe’s most concentrated luxury shopping destinations.
This is where the highest-end global brands sit side by side, framed by yachts, palm trees, supercars and cafés designed for people-watching.
The most iconic luxury boutiques in Puerto Banús
If you love fashion, craftsmanship and statement pieces, this is where you go.
You’ll find flagship boutiques from:
- Louis Vuitton – timeless icons, leather goods, travel pieces
- Chanel – classic elegance, bags, ready-to-wear
- Hermès – the pinnacle of craftsmanship and exclusivity
- Dior – refined fashion with strong identity
- Gucci – bold, contemporary luxury
- Dolce & Gabbana – Mediterranean glamour at its most expressive
For watches and jewellery lovers, Puerto Banús is equally serious:
- Rolex
- Cartier
- Bulgari
These are not outlet versions or secondary stores, these are full luxury boutiques, catering to an international clientele that knows exactly what it’s looking for.
Modern shopping centers: relaxed, stylish, practical
Not every shopping moment needs marble floors and designer logos.
Within easy driving distance of Casa Calma you’ll find modern shopping centers that are perfect for:
- fashion without pressure
- international and Spanish brands
- family-friendly shopping
- air-conditioned comfort
These centers are ideal for a rainy day trip or if you want to update your wardrobe, shop for the kids, or simply enjoy a relaxed afternoon with lunch included.
Our favourite is La Cañada Shopping, just a 30-minute drive from Casa Calma.
This large, modern mall offers a wide range of international brands, popular fashion stores, and plenty of restaurants and cafés. It's definitely worth a visit if you feel like combining comfort, variety and convenience.
Local markets & small shops: authentic and slow
For a completely different experience definitely visit the local markets and town-centre shops. They offer an authentic, relaxed and local experience.
Here you’ll find:
- fresh produce & Spanish delicacies
- handmade jewellery and accessories
- clothes with real Mediterranean character
Our favorite local market is the Estepona Port Market on Sunday. It's just a 15-min drive from Casa Calma and one of the most popular and enjoyable weekly markets near Casa Calma.
Set right by the harbour, it combines market browsing with sea views, cafés, and restaurants. It feels relaxed and lively at the same time, especially on sunny mornings.
