Known around the world for its mix of culture and modern-day resort facilities, Marbella is a very desirable place to live and apartments here are highly coveted.
Stretching 27km along the coastline, exclusive areas such as the Golden Mile, Puerto Banus and Sierra Blanca are packed full of high-end amenities, including sophisticated bars, restaurants, boutiques, renowned golf courses and more. Add in its stunning sandy beaches and glorious sunny weather and, it’s easy to understand why the resort attracts a significant number of tourists each year.
Apartments for sale in Marbella are therefore a great option for property investors looking to make a solid yearly return.
However, it’s important to note, this ‘luxury tourism’ and ‘glitz and glamour’ is just one aspect of Marbella’s character.
With its mountainous backdrop and succession of beautiful beaches, Marbella is a naturally stunning place with a tranquil atmosphere. The Old Town is renowned for its traditional whitewashed buildings, narrow pathways and well-tended flower boxes. Most apartments are perfectly positioned to take advantage of it all.
You can be in the picturesque historic quarter one minute, then leaving your stresses behind with a cocktail on Marbella promenade the next. You can tee off in the golf valley of Nueva Andalucia in the morning, then explore the designer shops of Puerto Banus in the afternoon. Or maybe just enjoy a long lunch, with spectacular sea views and a glass of champagne in hand.
There really is something to suit everyone.
From a practical perspective, Marbella has all the day-to-day amenities you could need right on the doorstep – international schools, hospitals and health centres, banks etc. It’s also the perfect base from which you can explore the rest of the coastline – including tourist hotspots such as Mijas Costa, Estepona, Torremolinos and more – and the International Airport of Málaga is just a short drive away.
Add in a relatively low cost of living, and it’s the perfect place to enjoy the sun and experience a laidback yet luxurious way of life.
