If you’re wondering which is the finest beach location in Marbella, the answer may be more straightforward than you’d think. Of course, one has to take into account different preferences, lifestyle and budgets, and then narrow it down from a variety of good locations such as the Golden Mile, New Golden Mile, Elviria and Guadalmina Baja, but ultimately the top Marbella beach location will shine through, and it is Los Monteros.
Situated just east of Marbella town, Los Monteros is a luxury beachside residential area consisting primarily of private villas but also offering a collection of prime frontline beach apartments and penthouses. The suburb is peaceful, secure, private and enjoys wonderful sea views amid the finest sandy beaches and dunes on the Costa del Sol. For all this it is just a few minutes’ drive from Marbella town, the La Cañada shopping mall, the marina of Puerto Banús and the Golf Valley of Nueva Andalucía.
Even closer by are the golf courses right on your doorstep: Río Real and Santa Clara, with many sports and medical facilities, international schools, shops, restaurants and cafés nearby. The tennis club and beach club of the luxurious Hotel Los Monteros are at your fingertips, the first of many in the area, and this combined with the attractiveness of this exclusive area and the quality of the Los Monteros villas and apartment complexes makes it the beachside residential area in Marbella to beat.
Villas and Penthouses by Marbella dunes

Among these, La Morera Playa is particularly sought after for its peaceful and scenic beachside location in Los Monteros as well as the quality build and materials, large living spaces and terraces, and elegant open-plan layouts of its beautiful garden and first floor apartments, as well as top floor duplex penthouses.
