Marbella, similar to Westwood in Los Angeles, is a cosmopolitan area known for its convenient location and modern living spaces. Marbella lies in the heart of Panama City's financial district and is characterized by its high-rise office buildings, luxury apartments, and contemporary condominiums. Despite its urban setting, Marbella manages to maintain a sense of community with its mix of residential and commercial properties. The area brims with a variety of international restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as entertainment venues and nightspots. Marbella also boasts easy access to the Cinta Costera, a waterfront promenade that offers panoramic views of the bay and city skyline, making it popular for both recreation and casual strolls.
