The Costa del Sol will never go out of fashion! This beautiful coastline has been attracting tourists from all over the world for years, looking for sunshine, good entertainment, relaxation, a place to start a new life or a worthwhile investment.
Like Saint Tropez
Marbella is a unique city, currently one of the most popular addresses in Spain. It can be compared to Saint Tropez: sunshine, a beautiful marina in Puerto Banus where the world’s most expensive yachts dock, promenades, green parks. It is here that wealthy people, politicians, celebrities buy houses and flats, or even, like Antonio Banderas, estates with vineyards!
Marbella is a city with traditions, where you can admire the remains of the Romans and Moors who once lived in this land. If you dream of strolling through narrow streets, admiring the flowers blooming on the walls and the scent of orange trees, head for the Casco Antiguo, the old town. Marbella is full of such romantic corners!
Golf courses, mountain trails
This city is synonymous with glamour and prestige. It features luxurious beach bars, designer boutiques and perfectly groomed, year-round golf courses! And all of this is thanks to a friendly microclimate that makes winters here mild and residents can enjoy up to 300 warm days a year!
Marbella is also famous for its excellent tennis courts (after all, Novak Djokovic himself lives here!), which this year hosted the international ATP tournament, the Andalucia Open. And if you want to get away from it all, you can go hiking in the Sierra Nevada, climb La Concha or take a catamaran or luxury yacht cruise and watch the dolphins swim free.
If you want to invest… only in Marbella
At the beginning of the 20th century. Marbella was a small fishing village that gradually evolved over the following decades to finally reach the status of a luxury resort attracting tourists, celebrities and prominent businessmen from distant countries around the world.
The growing popularity of Marbella has translated into a significant increase in interest in buying property in this Andalusian city. This is confirmed, among other things, by the data contained in the Marbella Property Market Report 2021, according to which property sales in the first quarter of 2021 were more than 20 per cent higher than in the same period a year earlier.
The increasing sales performance of properties in Marbella is influenced by a number of factors, one of which is the reduction in property tax, which was originally due to run until the end of 2021, but has been extended indefinitely in recent weeks.
