Here is our guide to the Marbella Golden Mile.
The original Golden Mile is considered the beachfront area from the edge of Marbella city to Puerto Banús. The Marbella Club Hotel is the centre point. It is an elegant, palm-lined eight km-long boulevard between Marbella and Puerto Banús.
As Marbella expanded, so did the Golden Mile to encompass more like a Golden Triangle. It is generally accepted that the areas behind and overlooking the Marbella Club are part of the Golden Mile. Locations such as Sierra Blanca, Camoján, Nagüeles, Lomas del Marbella Club, & the Marbella Hill Club are all considered Golden Mile properties.
This exclusive area of Marbella has a glamorous history, beginning in the 1950s with an aristocrat named Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe. He decided to convert his family estate into an upmarket hotel. This hotel became the Marbella Club, attracting friends and family of jet-setters, film stars, and royalty from all over Europe.
The Golden Mile earned its name thanks to this golden era, and parties held here were legendary. These were the original international ‘jet-set’, film stars and royalty. People like Sean Connery, James Hunt, Liz Taylor, Bridget Bardot, and anyone who was anyone were to be found in the Marbella Club.
Audrey Hepburn and her husband, Mel Ferrer, had one of their favourite homes within the original Santa Margarita part of the Marbella Club.
The photographs of these mythical times are displayed to good effect on the Marbella Club Hotel grounds and patio areas.
The Golden Mile Marbella is home to some of Southern Spain’s most luxurious and sought-after properties. Grand mansions on large estates, owned by celebrities, aristocrats, business magnates and entrepreneurs to more modest homes set back from the beachfront.
