The most glamorous address on the Costa del Sol
Marbella has been the smartest resort on the Costa del Sol since Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe opened the Marbella Club in the 1950s, and it has kept its polish. Behind the beach clubs and the yachts of Puerto Banús lies an old town of whitewashed lanes and orange trees, and behind that the Sierra Blanca, whose slopes are home to some of the finest villas in Spain.
Our Marbella collection runs to 350+ villas, from contemporary houses with infinity pools in the hills to family villas a short walk from the beach, almost all with private pools.
Here is where to stay, when to go and what to do.

The Golden Mile and Sierra Blanca for the smartest addresses, Nueva Andalucía for golf and Puerto Banús, Benahavís for privacy and views, and Estepona for a relaxed old town.
Between the old town and Puerto Banús
The Golden Mile runs west from Marbella's old town towards Puerto Banús, lined with grand villas, the Marbella Club and Puente Romano. Above it, Sierra Blanca is one of the most exclusive residential areas in Spain. The old town itself, around the Plaza de los Naranjos, is a delight of white lanes, flowers and tapas bars.

The Golf Valley and Puerto Banús
Behind Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía is known as the Golf Valley, with several celebrated courses close together. It is a favourite with families and golfers, with Puerto Banús, its marina, boutiques and restaurants, a few minutes away.

Privacy in the hills, an old town by the sea
Benahavís, a mountain village known for its restaurants, is surrounded by some of the most private estates on the coast, including La Zagaleta. To the west, Estepona has a pretty old town, a long promenade and a more relaxed pace.

Ronda, the white villages and Málaga, with its Picasso Museum, make fine day trips, and Gibraltar is around an hour away.

The right house, not the nearest one
Marbella's villas range from beachside houses to estates in the hills, and we know which are close to the beach, the golf or the old town. With 350+ properties in Marbella, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access roads, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Tee times, beach club tables, yacht charters from Puerto Banús, a private chef, nannies, day trips to Ronda and transfers from Málaga. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
