The ambitious redevelopment project is progressing in phases, with Marina City already operational and new business and leisure facilities set to open during summer 2026.
Valencia's waterfront is entering a new era. Marina Port Valencia, one of the most ambitious marina redevelopment projects currently underway in the Mediterranean, has officially begun unveiling the first completed elements of its long-term transformation plan. Designed to strengthen the relationship between the city and its maritime environment, the project combines nautical infrastructure, business activity, gastronomy, sustainability and public spaces into a single integrated vision.
As the summer season begins, the first major milestone has already been achieved with the completion of Marina City, the marina's new inner basin, which is now fully operational and welcoming its first clients.
Marina City: A New Home for Yachts from 12 to 130 Metres
Located in the most protected area of the port, Marina City has been designed to accommodate a wide range of vessels, from 12-metre cruising yachts to superyachts reaching 130 metres in length.
One of its most distinctive features is a central pontoon offering premium berths from 15 metres upwards. These berths are available through both rental and long-term concession options, with contracts extending up to 20 years.
The marina has been equipped with a complete range of services expected from a modern Mediterranean destination, including:
-
24-hour security
-
Fuel supply facilities
-
Dedicated parking areas
-
Environmental management systems
-
Blue economy-focused sustainability initiatives
The developers aim to position Marina Port Valencia as a benchmark for sustainable marina development while maintaining the highest standards of service for yacht owners and operators.
Marina Norte to Welcome New Gastronomic and Business Destinations
Beyond its nautical facilities, Marina Port Valencia is also investing heavily in leisure and economic development.
This summer will see the opening of a new premium restaurant located within the iconic former Panorama building in Marina Norte. Although details remain limited ahead of its official launch, the project has already attracted considerable attention due to its privileged waterfront location and contemporary architectural design.
The goal is to create a destination that appeals not only to visiting yacht owners but also to Valencia residents seeking high-quality dining experiences by the sea.
At the same time, construction will begin on a series of new corporate buildings designed to attract innovative companies and maritime-related businesses. These facilities are expected to create a dynamic ecosystem where entrepreneurship, technology and the maritime sector can coexist and collaborate.
Developers envision Marina Port Valencia becoming not only a marina but also a hub for networking, innovation and economic growth.
A Green Ribbon Connecting the Entire Marina
One of the most innovative aspects of the redevelopment is its landscape strategy.
The project has been developed by GM Paisajistas in collaboration with the architecture studio ERRE, creating a concept known as the "Green Ribbon". This landscaped corridor will physically and visually connect Marina Norte, Marina City and Marina Sur through a continuous pedestrian and cycling route.
Mediterranean vegetation will play a central role in the design, providing shade, improving biodiversity and creating a seamless transition between urban and maritime spaces.
Rather than treating the marina as a collection of separate zones, the Green Ribbon aims to create a unified waterfront experience where residents and visitors can move freely between different areas while enjoying direct contact with the sea.
A Long-Term Vision for Valencia's Waterfront
Given the scale of the redevelopment, the complete transformation of Marina Port Valencia will take several years to finish. However, the phased approach allows the public to gradually experience the new facilities as they become available.
Each completed phase will introduce additional public spaces, business opportunities and leisure facilities, steadily reshaping one of Valencia's most important waterfront districts.
The ultimate objective is clear: to create a marina that serves both the nautical community and the city itself. By combining premium berthing facilities, sustainable development, corporate activity, gastronomy and public access, Marina Port Valencia aims to establish itself as one of Spain's leading waterfront destinations and a reference point for modern marina development across the Mediterranean.
As work continues throughout 2026 and beyond, Marina Port Valencia represents a significant investment not only in nautical infrastructure but also in Valencia's future as a city closely connected to the sea.
