With its unique climate, beautiful beaches and quintessentially Spanish Old Town, Marbella is the perfect spot to find your very own place in the sun.

World famous as a holiday destination since the 1960s, Marbella’s unique allure has produced a style and character quite distinct from other coastal towns in Spain. The protection of La Concha mountain in the Sierra Blanca affords Marbella its own micro-climate, guaranteeing year-round sun (an average of no less than 325 days). In the winter months, a two-hour drive will find you in the exclusive ski resort of Sierra Nevada – meaning you can ski or snowboard in the morning, and take a late lunch on the beach in Marbella!
The coastline here enjoys not only some of the best beaches on the Costa del Sol, but also some of the best residential developments – many recently completed, or soon to be. Opulent villas, apartments and townhouses offer property seekers a luxurious lifestyle in prominent areas on the coast, so it comes as no surprise that the town, which is situated 50km to the west of Malaga, is one of the most popular destinations on the Costa del Sol in which to buy a property, whether as a holiday home or permanent residence. And, with prices lower than other comparable European coastal destinations like Ibiza, Mallorca, Mykonos and Monaco, it’s a great place to invest.
Heading west from the centre of town is the famous ‘Golden Mile’, aptly named because of the many palatial beachfront villas, and the famous Marbella Club and Puente Romano Hotels. At its far end is the world-renowned Marina of Puerto Banus.
Property here, boasting ocean views and a mountain backdrop, is in high demand due to its prestigious location. Just a 35 minute drive from Malaga Airport, Puerto Banus is the epitome of luxury and elegance. This is the place to be pampered port side, or ogle at fabulous luxury yachts while sipping a drink at one of the many open-air restaurants and bars.
Equally in demand with property seekers is Nueva Andalucia, nicknamed the ‘Golf Valley’ thanks to its five championship golf courses. Property here comes in the form of beautiful course-side apartments and villas, offering residents access to some of the best restaurants on the southern coast, along with many sport and leisure facilities.
