Our clients often ask us to list the best locations in Marbella, but while we have our favourites and know which ones are most popular among homebuyers, preference remains a subjective, personal thing. For this reason, we base our answer upon a number of criteria, such as your preferred lifestyle, practical needs and how much you wish to spend when buying a property in Marbella.
The Turismo Costa del Sol has a long history of producing eye-catching marketing material, ads and videos that promote this region, and the latest offering does so with a very up-to-date feel.
It feels like it’s been a long winter, with all the Covid-restrictions and rules that we had to follow in Marbella, but it’s been worth it as we seem to have turned a corner and can now enjoy the opening up of not only Spain in general but specifically the Costa del Sol.

What gives Marbella its lifestyle appeal? To answer this, one must first define the lifestyle in question. In Marbella’s case, it is above all a quality of life made possible by what is perhaps the sunniest climate in Europe. Place this within a beautiful setting of sea, mountain ranges and green valleys – many with golf courses running through them – and the result is something truly special. From many points along this golden coast you can spot the shoreline curving towards Gibraltar, whose famous Rock stands as a sentinel at the point where the Mediterranean and Atlantic, Europe and Africa meet.
One might have thought that the Marbella property market was flat in this Covid era, but the upper segment above €6 million is remarkably strong with many sales in 2020.

Looking back at the months preceding the unexpected Covid-19 lockdown, it seemed like we were recovering from a somewhat challenging 2019. The first half of last year was especially tough, following on several years of strong growth, with particularly strong demand for modern, new-build Costa del Sol properties.
The highest fall in house sales and mortgages since 2013 to the Spanish Real Estate Market.

The penthouse, particularly in the Marbella context, is like a villa in the air – large, luxurious, beautifully appointed, fitted with top-spec amenities and typically situated within an exclusive complex with 24-hour gated security, large swimming pools, landscaped gardens and even spa facilities.
