Marbella – glamour, old town charm and the Golden Mile

Why people love Marbella

Marbella is the best-known name on the Costa del Sol. Behind the glamour lies a real Andalusian town: a whitewashed old town with Plaza de los Naranjos, a long beachfront promenade, and life in the streets all year. To the west runs the Golden Mile with its exclusive villas and hotels, to the east quieter residential areas with wide sandy beaches.

The range of homes is wide – from apartments in the centre to large villas in the hills below La Concha mountain. Prices are higher than in the rest of the coast, but Marbella has proven to hold its value well, and demand from international buyers is strong.

Who is it for?

• Year-round living – a real town with schools, hospitals and culture
• Lifestyle buyers – beach clubs, restaurants and shopping
• Families – many international schools in the area
• Long-term investment – a strong brand that holds its value
