Marbella joins the Real Estate A-list.

Marbella is acquiring the kind of ultra-luxury homes that fetch astronomical prices in other top-tier cities like Dubai, Paris, Madrid and London even though it is a destination that is synonymous with opulent and grandiose residences worth millions of euros; nevertheless, some areas like the Golden Mile (beachside and mountain side), Nueva Andalucia and La Zagaleta offer properties that exceed 20 million euros, but finding the perfect combination of a prime location and the type of dwelling that satisfies the expectations of the global elite is a challenging endeavor due to their rarity.

It’s fascinating to note that some still think that Marbella falls short when it comes to properties that truly cater to the elite international class despite the abundance of lavish penthouses and villas. However, with the introduction of the last remarkable residence in Marbella prime locations, the void is finally being filled.

Marbella Real Estate options.

Today’s Marbella property buyers are highly knowledgeable and possess a clear vision of their desired property, budget, and lifestyle. While each client’s requirements vary, some common questions and “must-haves” frequently arise in inquiries and property specifications.

Here are the top 5 most popular requests from Marbella´s clients:

     1. Marbella’s Location.

Location is crucial when searching for a property, especially in a lifestyle destination like Marbella, where individuals are attracted to its spaciousness, climate, services, and quality of life. Privacy, lush surroundings, and convenient access to amenities such as: shops, restaurants, schools, beaches, and sports facilities such as gyms, golf, or racquet clubs are frequently requested by buyers. While it may seem daunting, we can offer various options in and around Marbella that meet these specific requirements, making this region stand out for its exceptional mix of characteristics.

These frequently include generous open-plan designs, state-of-the-art kitchens and bathrooms, advanced entertainment systems, and the ability to work remotely in a modern, professional setting with all the necessary technology.

     3. Views of Marbella

Having an awe-inspiring view has always been a desired feature for homebuyers, just as much as location. In Marbella, stunning golf, mountain, and coastal views are particularly sought after by property buyers. Recently, we’ve noticed an increasing focus on this feature among our buyers, with requests for Marbella properties that offer sea and landscape views and proximity to nature.

     4. Exterior Area

In today’s world, having a private outdoor area to unwind, entertain, and spend quality time with family has become more critical. Gardens, in particular, are highly sought after, which has resulted in a growing trend for villas, ground-floor apartments, and semi-detached townhouses. Additionally, large terraces, as seen in penthouses and luxurious flats, are also in high demand as they offer ample space for outdoor living.

Privacy often goes hand in hand with the need for security. Many of our clients are seeking gated apartment complexes and villa communities, with a strong preference for 24-hour protection.

6 Marbella Locations to Suit Different Lifestyles

The “Marbella way of life” encompasses various lifestyles in the area’s distinct settings and residential zones. Here are some of the main living options available in Marbella.

1. The Golden Mile exudes beachside elegance.

The Golden Mile, a palm tree-lined avenue that connects Marbella town and Puerto Banús, is considered one of the most prestigious addresses in Marbella. This area boasts luxurious private villas and estates, some with direct access to the beach and stylish seafood restaurants, chiringuito bars, and beach clubs.

These properties represent some of the most exceptional offerings in Marbella, emanating from the renowned Marbella Club and Puente Romano resort hotels and epitomising the essence of Marbella’s luxury and allure. With demand for real estate on the coveted Golden Mile surpassing supply, prices frequently exceed €20,000/m2.

2. Puente Romano is the epitome of glamour in Marbella.

The Puente Romano 5 star resort, situated along the renowned Golden Mile, is an iconic institution and landmark in Marbella. As the younger sister hotel of the Marbella Club Hotel, where Marbella’s status as a premier luxury destination was established, its reputation had already been firmly established by 1979, when it opened in a prime location beside the beach on the Golden Mile.

Marbella’s birthplace of glamour

The two resort hotels have entertained discerning guests worldwide and complemented each other since their inception. These guests range from royalty, business tycoons, Hollywood actors, and many other celebrities to those who appreciate quality and refined surroundings. The Puente Romano is a true embodiment of Marbella in this regard.

Unlike most luxurious resorts, Puente Romano has the ambience of a Mediterranean village rather than a typical hotel complex. It is characterised by low-rise buildings dispersed throughout lush gardens, giving the impression of a private villa. The resort’s name pays homage to a 2000-year-old bridge that connected this location with Rome, the heart of the Roman Empire.

Setting.

Located on the beachside of the renowned 6.5-kilometre palm-lined avenue that connects Marbella town and Puerto Banús, the Puente Romano boasts the most prestigious address in Marbella. Its prime location offers guests easy access to a plethora of shopping, dining, golf, horse riding, nautical sports, and other activities and services in addition to the deluxe amenities of the five-star resort itself.

Living at Puente Romano properties.

The Puente Romano’s exclusive residential area features lavish apartments, penthouses, and private villas amidst stunning parkland landscapes. These exquisite properties, arranged around beautifully landscaped Mediterranean and tropical gardens, are among the most desirable homes on Marbella’s prestigious Golden Mile, with prime beachfront locations.

The Puente Romano offers an array of upscale residences, ranging from lush apartments in verdant surroundings to penthouses with breathtaking panoramic sea views and beachfront villas. These properties are superbly located and benefit from a luxury resort’s five-star deluxe services, amenities, and ambience steps away.

3. Nueva Andalucía living.

Nueva Andalucía, Marbella’s largest suburb, nestled in a vast valley just inland from Puerto Banús, is a preferred residential area for families. Its appeal stems from a blend of leafy suburban streets, extravagant family villas and apartments, and abundant shopping, dining, educational, and sports facilities. It is intersected by some of the region’s most exceptional golf courses.

The area is home to renowned golf courses such as Las Brisas, Aloha, Los Naranjos, and Magna Marbella Golf, a nine-hole course favoured by busy golf enthusiasts looking for a quick round or practice session. Nicknamed the ‘Golf Valley,’ Nueva Andalucía is an idyllic family-oriented neighbourhood in the region.

4. Marbella’s city ambience.

An increasing number of foreign homebuyers are now discovering properties for sale in Marbella’s downtown area, a place they once only loved to visit but are now increasingly inclined to invest in. Buyers can select from the historic centre’s enchanting, mostly car-free allure or experience the city ambience between the main Ricardo Soriano Avenue and the sea.

Either way, residents can enjoy the vibrant pace of a city environment while also being close to an array of amenities such as shops, restaurants, cafes, museums, parks, and of course, stunning beaches.

5. La Zagaleta Club.

Boasting a gated entrance, top-notch concierge services, cutting-edge equestrian facilities, two sprawling golf courses, and an elegant clubhouse and restaurant, La Zagaleta stands as the ultimate country club, ranking among the finest in Europe. Exclusively accessible to residents and guests, this community offers privacy and discretion while providing access to the world’s finest amenities. La Zagaleta’s desirability is further enhanced within acres of stunning countryside. If the Golden Mile embodies refinement, luxury, and glamour, life in La Zagaleta embodies unparalleled luxury and seclusion.

6. El Madroñal country charm.

El Madroñal is a gated community located nearby, known for its exclusivity. It offers stunning natural surroundings and views similar to La Zagaleta but stands out for its larger plots and countryside ambience. Despite its proximity to Marbella town and the region’s beaches, the community’s expansive villas exude a rural feeling. Golf clubs are easily accessible, but once inside the gates, the abundant natural beauty of this Andalusian region takes over. The spacious and lavish villas embody the essence of independent country-style living just a short distance away from it all.
