Marbella shopping, for some of us (moms!), can be the highlight of our Costa del Sol holiday. When you get tired of the Marbella beaches, sun and sand, it's time to get out of your swimsuit and start hitting all the fun and unique shops that Marbella has to offer.

Marbella Shopping with Children

Toy Shop MarbellaDo you remember when toys were meant to last a life time rather than breaking after a couple weeks? If you are looking for beautiful, well-made toys and collectibles for your loved one, this is your place.

You just need to find the right venues. Older children may enjoy shopping in Marbella as long as you stick to their favorite places like FNAC or the Apple Store for multimedia, Hollister or H&M for clothing, Costa Bear to build your own teddy bears, or even the street markets like the San Pedro market and Puerto Banus street market where prices are very reasonable (don't forget to bargain).

Younger children, however, will have a harder time finding the patience while parents browse. In this case, we suggest you stick to shopping in the bigger malls such as El Corte Ingles in Puerto Banus or La Canada Shopping Center, where children can spend a couple of hours in the play zones while you shop in relaxation. El Corte Ingles has a lovely glass enclosed area where children can play games, jump in balls, color and get creative. You can also leave the kids for a couple of hours at Camelot Park play area in the underground parking lot of La Canada shopping center in Marbella. To see which shops are located in La Canada shopping center click here. These larger shopping malls offer everything you need for the one-stop shop experience. However, there are lots of boutiques and smaller shops in Marbella where you can find more unique items to bring home. Stroll through the streets of Old Town Marbella to discover a charming old fashion toy store, olive oil markets, wine boutiques, Marbella furniture shops or local artisanal jewelry stands. You will love the charm of the cobble stone pedestrian areas where the kids can run free without worrying about cars and traffic.

For luxury items in Marbella you will want to make a special shopping trip to Puerto Banus where you will find all the high end brand names such as Cartier, Dolce & Gabana, Louis Vuitton, Bang & Olufsen, Armani and many more.

Enjoy your Marbella shopping experience!
