Why September is the perfect month for Marbella
September in Marbella is a well-kept secret among discerning travellers. The weather in Marbella remains gloriously warm, with average temperatures hovering in the mid-20s°C, but the intensity of high summer has faded. The Mediterranean sparkles under clear skies, and the gentle breeze makes outdoor travel and activities a pleasure. With the summer rush behind, you’ll find a more relaxed atmosphere—ideal for unwinding and enjoying the region’s natural beauty.
Golf at Rio Real: A course for all seasons

Designed by the legendary Javier Arana, the 18-hole, par-72 course meanders alongside the Rio Real river, offering stunning views and a layout that challenges and delights golfers of all abilities.
September is a particularly special time to play, especially considering the delightful weather in Marbella.
