Landscaping & Garden Design in Puerto Banús

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the unique microclimate of the Costa del Sol Occidental shapes the way we approach outdoor living. When it comes to landscaping in Puerto Banús, we aren't just planting gardens; we are creating resilient sanctuaries for a population of approximately 2,500 permanent residents and thousands of seasonal visitors. Whether you own a frontline apartment in Playas del Duque or a penthouse in Marina Banús, your outdoor space faces specific challenges. The intense Mediterranean sun and constant salt exposure from the Mediterranean Sea require specialized knowledge of materials and flora. In Puerto Banús, landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on whether you are refreshing a terrace in Medina Garden or redesigning a large perimeter in La Alcazaba. My goal is to ensure your project harmonizes with the luxury of the marina while standing up to the coastal elements. From Los Naranjos de Marbella to the heart of the port, we bring technical expertise to every square metre.

Regulations and Permits for Landscaping in Puerto Banús

Navigating the legal landscape in Marbella is essential for any exterior renovation. All landscaping and outdoor structures in Puerto Banús must comply with the Marbella PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). This municipal ordinance dictates what can be built, particularly regarding height restrictions and aesthetic harmony with the Mediterranean style. Because Puerto Banús is situated directly on the shoreline, many properties fall under the jurisdiction of the Ley de Costas (Coastal Law), which imposes strict building restrictions to protect the maritime-terrestrial public domain.

For smaller interventions, such as installing planters or basic irrigation, a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit from the Marbella Town Hall is usually sufficient. However, if your project involves structural changes, permanent pergolas, or significant excavation, a more formal building licence is required. Additionally, for solar protection systems, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for awnings and external blinds. If you live in a community like Playas del Duque, you must also ensure your project aligns with the internal statutes of the homeowners' association (Comunidad de Propietarios) to maintain visual uniformity.
