Los Arqueros is accessed just off the toll road “autopista Del sol” (AP-7) which can be used for a small fee.

Taxis are easy to order, and generally don’t take too long. The operator speaks some English, enough to order a taxi to our development if you require.

However, we really do recommended a car, so you can explore the surrounding areas of Benhavis, San Pedro, Marbella and further afield; unless you wish to just soak up the sun that is!

Benahavis, known for its Gastronomy, is home to some amazing restaurants, beautiful white washed streets, cafes and quaint bars (only 10 minutes drive away - accessible if you drive to the other exit/entrance on Los Arqueros, past the club House).

Marbella - offers a beautiful walk along the front, known as the paseo. It’s possible to walk from Marbella all the way to San Pedro. Along the way, you will find many restaurants, bars, cafes, beaches, clubs and shops.

Ronda is also a lovely historical mountaintop village, offering jaw dropping views from a stone bridge spanning the gorge. It is famous worldwide for its dramatic escarpments and views.
