El Ángel Botanical Garden is one of Marbella’s most underrated gems—tucked just inland near Aloha College, on the road toward Istán. This peaceful 18th-century garden blends romantic, landscape, and formal styles across 6,000 m² of curated greenery, lakes, and waterfalls. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and the only agenda is soaking in natural beauty.
What makes it special? Start with the 300-year-old ficus trees and an eclectic collection of 80+ palm species, then add in the historic turbine monument—a nod to the garden’s industrial roots. Whether you’re a plant lover, history nerd, or just need a breather from the beach scene, this garden hits the sweet spot between nature and narrative.
