Buying a property in Marbella

For many, Marbella is the trade mark of the Costa del Sol. The close to 140,000 residents who live here, spread over 100 nationalities, has made Marbella into one of the most cosmopolitan and fashionable areas on the Costa del Sol. With no less than 17 golf courses it’s also the absolute favourite destination for Golf enthusiasts. In the centre of the old town of Marbella is the Orange Square, offering visitors a wide variety of restaurants and bars. Many International Schools are also located here and just west of Marbella is the well-known Marina Puerto Banús with luxury boutiques and top restaurants. The popular areas Nueva Andalucia and San Pedro de Alcántara also form part of Marbella. Estimated travel time to Malaga airport from Marbella is around 45 minutes.

Golden Mile Marbella

The Golden Mile stretches from Marbella Town and Puerto Banús and is one of the most famous areas of Marbella, due to its colourful history and very exclusive hotels and restaurants.

Nueva Andalucía

Travelling west from Marbella Town, along the Golden Mile, you soon arrive in the Nueva Andalucia area located just above Puerto Banús.
