Properties for sale in Elviria

Living in Elviria

Elviria is the capital of East Marbella: urbanisations among centuries-old pine forests, the most famous beach in the area – with Nikki Beach as its icon – and a family life organised around international schools, the Elviria shopping centre and the Santa María golf course. All 10–12 minutes from central Marbella, but with a greener, more peaceful atmosphere.

Large plots and low density are the hallmark of the area: here you are buying pine shade, a garden and privacy, with the sea five minutes away by car.

Buying property in Elviria

Elviria combines villas among the pines – many from the 1990s with great potential for updating – townhouses in leafy complexes and apartments near the beach with excellent holiday rental demand. It is one of the favourite areas for families from northern Europe, which ensures steady resale and rental demand. At EVS PROPERTY GROUP we help you assess the orientation, plot and renovation cost of each villa.

Frequently asked questions about Elviria

What makes Elviria different from the rest of Marbella?

Its woodland: it is the residential area with the most pine forest in Marbella, with generous plots and a sense of being surrounded by nature. In exchange for being 10 minutes from the centre, you get more square metres, more greenery and more peace and quiet for the same budget.

What beaches does Elviria have?

Playa de Elviria is one of the best and widest beaches in Marbella, with fine sand, classic beach bars (chiringuitos) and the famous Nikki Beach. To the east, the coves of Las Chapas and El Cabo continue all the way to Cabopino and its marina.

Is it a good area for families with children?

One of the best: several international schools are in East Marbella itself, the urbanisations are safe and quiet, and sport – golf, tennis, horse riding – is part of everyday local life.

How do rentals perform in Elviria?

Elviria combines very solid holiday rentals in summer, thanks to its beaches and landmark beach bars (chiringuitos), with long-term demand from families drawn by the nearby international schools. Apartments in urbanisations with a pool and townhouses close to the shopping centre are the quickest to let. For short-term rentals you need to be registered in the Andalusian tourism register and to have statutes of the comunidad (community of owners) that allow it.

Should I start with an apartment, a townhouse or a villa?

If it is your first purchase in the area, an apartment in an established urbanisation with a pool and gardens is the easiest entry point to maintain and to let. Townhouses offer a step up in space for family use, and villas among the pines are the star product for those seeking privacy. Our advice: first decide how many weeks a year you will use it, and let that determine the type of property.
