Areas in Marbella
Living in Marbella
Marbella is the residential capital of the Costa del Sol: 27 km of coastline, a well-kept Old Town centred on the Plaza de los Naranjos and a standard of services that is hard to match in southern Europe. Between the town centre and Puerto Banús, the Golden Mile is home to the most exclusive villas and penthouses; Nueva Andalucía brings together the Golf Valley and a huge choice of apartments with views; San Pedro de Alcántara offers small-town life with its own beach, and areas to the east such as Elviria and Las Chapas combine pine woods, international schools and long-established urbanisations.
The buyer profile is international: Scandinavians, Britons, Germans, Belgians and, increasingly, buyers from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This sustains a liquid market all year round, supported by international schools, private clinics, more than 15 golf courses in the surrounding area and Michelin-starred restaurants.
Buying property in Marbella
Three markets coexist in Marbella: established resale property in urbanisations with well-run comunidades (communities of owners), high-end new-build developments (especially between San Pedro and the New Golden Mile) and investment property for holiday or mid-term rentals. The key is choosing the right micro-area: the difference in price per square metre between two neighbouring urbanisations can be huge. At EVS PROPERTY GROUP we work on the ground and help you compare areas, comunidades and build quality before you make an offer.
Frequently asked questions about Marbella
What are the best areas to buy property in Marbella?
It depends on your goal: the Golden Mile and Sierra Blanca for established luxury, Nueva Andalucía for golf and apartments with good resale potential, San Pedro de Alcántara for year-round living, and Elviria or Las Chapas for families looking for pine woods, wide beaches and international schools.
Is Marbella a good place to invest in a rental property?
Yes, for both holiday and mid-term rentals: demand is international and extends beyond the summer thanks to golf, remote working and the climate. Areas close to Puerto Banús and the town centre achieve the highest occupancy rates.
What is the difference between new-build and resale property in Marbella?
New-build offers modern specifications, energy efficiency and staged payments, with completion in 1–3 years. Resale lets you buy into established urbanisations with mature gardens and into locations where new construction is no longer permitted. In both cases it is worth checking the comunidad (community of owners), the orientation and the renovation potential.
What is Marbella like for families with children?
It has a great deal to offer. It is home to several of the Costa del Sol's most highly regarded international schools, such as Aloha College and Swans International, as well as bilingual state and state-subsidised (concertado) schools. The Hospital Costa del Sol is within the municipality itself and there is a wide range of private healthcare. Add parks such as La Alameda and the Nagüeles pine forest, sports clubs and activities all year round, and you have a family environment that is hard to match.
What steps do I need to take as a foreigner to buy property in Marbella?
You will need an NIE (foreigner identification number), ideally a Spanish bank account for the payments and, above all, an independent lawyer to check the property's encumbrances, licences and planning status – something worth checking with particular care in Marbella. You then sign the contrato de arras (deposit contract) and the escritura (title deed) before a notary. You do not need to be resident, and the whole process usually takes around six to ten weeks.
