The expansion of the Boho Club hotel will improve traffic at the entrances to Puerto Banús.

The expansion project of the Boho Club hotel on the neighboring lands of the Swedish Forestry Center, located right in the Golden Mile, will serve to improve access to one of the traffic 'black spots' during peak tourist seasons: the access areas to Puerto Banús. The initiative proposed by the Scandinavian firm Boho Group will replace the road planned by the current General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU), which currently crosses and borders the west side of the action area and is currently "impossible to execute."

Marbella gives the green light to the Boho Club hotel plan to quadruple its surface area

This approach will make way for a service road that continues the existing one, leading to a roundabout that will organize traffic on the old N-340. This change will enable "a return direction towards Marbella, which will ease congestion in the access areas to Puerto Banús, which often become congested during peak tourist seasons," according to municipal sources.

The project includes a green corridor in front of the Río Verde, in line with urban planning regulations

Moreover, this service road will act as a "structuring axis" along which parking spaces and Local Free Area System reserves will be distributed among corridors and green areas on the eastern and western boundaries of the action area, as well as in areas requiring special tree protection. These spaces comply with the level of facilities targeted by the PGOU, and their location "aligns" with the planning to create a corridor in front of Río Verde.

Continuing the process

So far, the plan by the Swedish investors has already surpassed its first two milestones with the approval by the Local Government Board of the declaration of convenience and opportunity and the project of delimitation of this Urban Transformation Action for Interior Reform (ATU-RI).

The next step to be taken is the presentation and approval of the urbanization project, after which the construction license can be requested. In this process, the uncertainty of the buildability that the project will have, which will increase from 40 to 250 rooms, must be resolved.
