What Puerto Banús does

Puerto José Banús, S.A. operates Puerto Banús, a luxury marina and lifestyle destination in Marbella on Spain's Costa del Sol, inaugurated in 1970 and led by CEO Juan Núñez Insausti. The integrated complex comprises a 915-berth marina across 15 hectares of sheltered water for vessels up to 50 meters, over 250 commercial spaces housing more than 100 luxury boutiques and restaurants, premium event venues, and a 50+ experience catalog ranging from yacht charters to helicopter tours. It serves three primary customer sets: high-net-worth yacht owners seeking premium berthing, maintenance, and concierge services; affluent international tourists visiting the Costa del Sol; and luxury fashion brands seeking prime retail positioning in Europe's highest brand-density marina.

The operating technology stack centers on marina management and port operations infrastructure — a berth booking system supporting 900+ moorings, a Torre de Control-based vehicle access platform, MARPOL-compliant waste and fuel services, a travelift (50T) boat yard, and an ISO 14001-certified sustainability management system audited annually by AENOR (841.85 tonnes CO2 equivalent for 2023). Revenue is generated across six streams: berth rentals and sales (subscription), commercial real estate leases on 250+ spaces (subscription), premium parking access cards (€2,090 annual, €255 daily high season, €185 daily low season), event space rentals, concierge and yacht services, and a newly launched Port Consulting division for international marina operators. Distribution is direct to consumer and B2B at the marina, with luxury boutiques operated independently by tenant brands.

Puerto Banús is pursuing an explicit growth strategy to double EBITDA and operate five Mediterranean marinas by 2030 with a stable financial partner, underpinned by the 2025 launch of the Port Consulting division, recent onboarding of Lamborghini and Ralph Lauren as marquee tenants, and inbound tourism momentum including 195% growth in Arab tourism and 295% growth in North American tourism versus pre-COVID. The property carries ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, Blue Flag status, Safe Tourism Certified designation, and the Gold Medal for Tourist Merit.
