The Costa del Sol
The Costa del Sol is gaining a name as one of the most luxurious coasts in the world.
Often referred to as Spain ’s answer to St-Tropez, the city of Marbella has become
the renowned jet-set destination for some of the world’s most illustrious clientele.
The residents of Marbella – with its year-round season of sun, golf, yachting, tennis
and shopping – are finding that the lifestyle property market is taking pole position
again as it settles into a stable and busy period.
More than two-thirds of Spanish tourism was on the Costa del Sol in 2006, with Marbella
catering for the luxury market through both rental and property purchases.
Famed for world-class sailing, golf and tennis, the coast offers a world of upscale
living to holidaymakers and permanent residents alike.
Choice activities
A select location due to the beauty of its landscape, weather, sea, and people,
Marbella offers a high standard of living from its golden stretches of coastline
to its lush golf greens. Palm trees, impressive marinas and exclusive restaurants
make the Costa del Sol a prime location for luxury property.
Golfers will delight in the first-class greens and warm, sunny playing conditions
on the Costa del Sol , where some of the best courses in the world spread along
the coast from Málaga to San Roque.
Spain is host to one of the southernmost locations for winter sports, the Sierra
Nevada . Located just two hours’ drive from the Costa del Sol, it has the longest
season in the country – making it possible to play golf in the sun, and within a
short time be skiing at a top resort.
