On the west one side is the external non-accessible face of Playas del Duque with Open Core and other commercial units at street level. Gray d'Albion entrance is also here. This is a single block complex that is in part, front line to the beach. Hardly noticed still stands the old 18th centrury watchtower called Torre del Duque.
To the west of Puerto Banus marina and part of the original Puerto Banus complex is the Benabola complex or Conjunto Benabola, three rows of buildings that include Plaza Hotel, Benabola Hotel, apartments and shops, with public underground parking.
Puerto Banus Marina complex itself is a long thin strip of two rows of Andalucian village style buildings separated by Calle Ribera.
