Istán, just 10 minutes from Marbella, is a tranquil oasis that combines natural beauty with urban convenience.
Enjoy the serenity of countryside living while staying close to all the amenities Marbella has to offer.
Close enough to feel the vibrant energy of Marbella yet far enough to offer a countryside lifestyle, Istán stands as a haven for those seeking an escape without losing touch with urban amenities.
Located just 10 minutes from the heart of Marbella, Istan offers a unique blend of natural beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to the hustle and bustle of the city.
The Istan area covers a vast area stretching from the borders with Marbella to the village of Istan, approximately 8 kms from Marbella city centre, and mainly around the vistas of the lake.
Set against the Sierra Blanca Mountains backdrop and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Istan village is a charming town marked by white-washed houses, cobblestone streets, and panoramic views. It is situated near the La Concepción Reservoir, adding a water-based allure to its mountainous terrain.
Istan offers a peaceful and secluded environment that’s a marked contrast to the bustling life in nearby Marbella. Yet, it provides convenient access to everything Marbella and Puerto Banus offer, including high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment. Think of Istan as the best of both worlds: a tranquil retreat with quick access to the action.
Istan is a popular choice for luxury homes with big views; it offers panoramic sea, mountain and lake views.
Education: Aloha International College, Swans International, and the British International School, all with excellent reputations, are accessible within just a short drive.
Healthcare: For healthcare services, the proximity to Marbella ensures quality medical care. Quirón and Ochoa private medical hospitals are in Marbella, and the expansive Costa del Sol Hospital is within reach.
Luxury takes on a different but equally appealing form in Istan. Here, high-end properties often feature expansive grounds, offering a blend of outdoor living with luxurious interiors. Istan has a reputation for secluded villas set against stunning natural backdrops, offering both privacy and panoramic views.
Whether it’s a luxury apartment overlooking the reservoir or a grand villa with mountain views, Istan real estate offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern amenities.
Areas such as Cerros del Lago or Sierra Blanca Country Club are perennial favourites as they offer community facilities in a countryside setting.
While more affordable than the iconic Golden Mile, properties in Istan are by no means cheap. The area caters to a clientele looking for luxury within nature.
Expect prices to start around 2 million Euros for villas, with premium features and views commanding higher prices. Apartments and townhouses offer a more modest entry point, typically starting around 500,000 Euros.
Istan is not just a residential paradise; it’s also an adventurer’s playground. The surrounding Sierra Blanca Mountains and the La Concepción Reservoir offer countless opportunities for outdoor activities.
The area is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, from hiking and mountain biking to water sports like kayaking and fishing.
While Istan offers local markets and traditional Spanish tapas bars, the proximity to Marbella means you’re never far from luxury shopping and international dining.
World-class restaurants and boutiques are just a short drive away, as are the vibrant nightlife options that Marbella and Puerto Banus offer.
Situated just 10 minutes from Marbella and approximately 20 minutes from Puerto Banus, Istan is easily accessible. Malaga Airport is around forty minutes’ drive, making international travel convenient for residents.
A Hub for Business and Personal Services: Though primarily residential, Istan’s close proximity to Marbella allows easy access to an array of business services, including legal firms, financial advisors, and more.
It’s the perfect setting for those who wish to work in a dynamic environment while residing in a tranquil location.
Istan offers an exceptional lifestyle that combines the serenity of nature with the luxury and amenities typical of Marbella. It provides a tranquil, exclusive environment without sacrificing convenience or accessibility.
For those seeking the best of both worlds—natural beauty and upscale living—Istan is an ideal choice.
