Marbella

Marbella is arguably the star attraction of the Costa del Sol with expensive properties, fantastic golf courses and an exciting nightlife. If you’re in search of luxury living with world-class amenities, Marbella is the place for you.

Marbella has a strong property market with a diverse range of property types that can fit into many different budgets.

What makes Marbella different?

The biggest selling point of the Marbella area is the ‘glamour factor’ it offers residents. Marbella has cultivated a reputation as a location for the wealthy and famous. It has a specific clientele that is drawn to the world-class brands, Michelin-starred restaurants and exclusive services.

If you want to live the high life with almost year-round sunshine, Marbella is perfect.

Benalmadena

If you’re looking for a more family-friendly location on the south coast of Spain, Benalmadena is a beautiful location.

It offers traditional Spanish charm with a broad range of attractions and a relaxed atmosphere. It also has excellent transport links, like the C1 commuter train line that connects directly to Malaga city and the airport.

What makes Benalmadena different?

The average price of properties in the Benalmadena region is a lot more affordable than places like Marbella. This makes it attractive to a much wider range of buyers, including families on more modest budgets who want a slice of the lifestyle for a portion of the price they’d pay elsewhere.

Cabopino

Cabopino is a charming coastal village that’s nestled between the fabulous towns of Marbella and Fuengirola. If you’re seeking a tranquil way of life in southern Spain, Cabopino is a fantastic option.

The area features stunning natural beauty and protected areas. Go for a daily walk in the beautiful pine forests or sample the ocean along Cabopino’s beaches.

What makes Cabopino different?

There is a fabulous sense of community in the Cabopino area of the Costa del Sol, and it’s seen as a ‘hidden gem’ because of its authentic vibe. Despite its slightly more secluded feel, Cabopino is within easy reach of bigger towns. Marbella is around a 12-minute drive down the AP-7 motorway, while Fuengirola is just a few minutes further.

Cala de Mijas

Cala de Mijas has experienced a lot of modernisation and growth in recent years, but still holds onto its Andalusian charm and authenticity. It’s a traditional fishing village that offers a unique blend of traditional Spanish character with modern amenities and a thriving expat community.

The area offers charming whitewashed streets that lead down to the promenade that features a selection of fantastic restaurants, cafes and shops.

What makes Cala de Mijas different?

The thing that sets Cala de Mijas apart from other areas of the Costa del Sol is its unique blend of authenticity with a modern touch. There’s a laid-back lifestyle in the area, but it also offers a lively social scene.

There’s a fantastic range of property types in the area, too, offering opportunities to many different property buyers.

Estepona

Estepona has been transformed from a sleepy fishing town to a highly desired destination on the Costa del Sol because of its authentic Andalusian charm and unique beauty.

Estepona benefits from its location on the Costa del Sol, offering access to gorgeous beaches and the scenic Sierra Bermeja mountain range. So, whether you prefer to feel sand between your toes or you enjoy a long hike, Estepona is a fantastic option.

What makes Estepona different?

Estepona is known as the ‘Garden of the Costa del Sol’ because of its beautification projects, which include planting one million flowers and decorating streets with hanging flower pots. Many walls have also been decorated with vibrant murals to bring the streets to life, creating an even greater desire for home buyers to move to the area.

Fuengirola

Fuengirola is one of the most popular towns on the Costa del Sol and features a wide range of international residents.

It boasts exceptional transport links with Marbella a half-hour drive away, and Malaga airport just 20 minutes away. The Cercanias C1 is a direct, frequent and affordable train line that connects Fuengirola to Malaga, Torremolinos and Benalmadena. So, if you’re looking for a hotspot location that’s close to other major towns, this is it.

What makes Fuengirola different?

If you’re moving to the Costa del Sol for a slice of everything Spanish, then Fuengirola is ideal for you. With weekly markets, modern shopping centres, bustling beaches and family attractions like the Aquamijas water park, you couldn’t ask for much more.

That’s without mentioning the fabulous array of restaurants, bars and cafes, too.
