5 Things to Do This November in Marbella - Mila Homes Marbella Real Estate

As autumn settles over the Costa del Sol, Marbella reveals a quieter charm — warm golden days, crisp evenings, and a calendar filled with culture, wellness, and fine dining. November is one of the most underrated months to experience the Marbella lifestyle: fewer crowds, more comfortable temperatures, and all the glamour that makes this coastal city unforgettable.

Here are five things to do in Marbella this November, hand-picked by the Mila Homes team to help you experience the best of local life, from art and sport to style and relaxation.

1. TodoDanza Festival

If you’re seeking a cultural escape, the TodoDanza Festival brings contemporary dance, performance art, and creativity to Teatro Ciudad de Marbella. Running into early November, it’s a must-see for lovers of movement and expression. This local favourite adds a sophisticated, artistic edge to Marbella’s event calendar — an ideal way to spend an evening away from the beach scene.

📍 Teatro Ciudad de Marbella

💡 Mila Tip: Combine the show with dinner in Marbella Old Town — the cobbled streets and candlelit restaurants set the perfect pre-show mood.

2. IRONMAN 70.3 Marbella

On November 8–9, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship takes over Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Whether you’re competing or cheering from the sidelines, expect an exhilarating weekend of triathlon action and community spirit. The event attracts athletes and fans from around the world, turning the promenade and beachfront into a lively festival of endurance and motivation. The competition starts with a 1.9km swim at Levante Beach, Puerto Banus. Followed by a gruelling 90km bike ride through Marbella, Ojén, Monda, and Coín to finally reach a 21.1km (half marathon) across the Marbella promenade.
