Puerto Banús & Nueva Andalucía property

The marina that put Marbella on the international map — super-yachts, headline restaurants and the coast's most concentrated evening scene. The streets immediately behind the port are dense, walkable and lively, weighted towards beachfront apartments and penthouses overlooking the water.

Buyers here are drawn by lifestyle and rental yield in equal measure: high-season demand from a global audience keeps short-let occupancy strong, and nothing else on the coast matches the walk-to-everything factor.

Step inland and the register shifts entirely. Nueva Andalucía spreads across the Golf Valley in a quieter grid of villa streets and gated urbanisations framed by La Concha, with international schools close by and the best-loved Saturday market on the coast.

Stock ranges from golf-front villas and modern townhouses to gated estates in La Cerquilla and remodelled apartments throughout the valley. Ten minutes' walk to the marina, and worlds away in atmosphere.

The heart of the Golf Valley, built around Aloha Golf Club and Aloha Pueblo. Whitewashed townhouse communities, garden apartment estates and villas on generous fairway plots, with Aloha College and the Centro Plaza amenities within a few minutes.

It is the most family-oriented pocket of Nueva Andalucía and one of the most liquid resale markets in Marbella — homes here rarely sit long.

Las Brisas surrounds the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of the valley's three championship courses. Wide, mature streets, large single-villa plots and a low-density feel that has survived thirty years of building around it.

Buyers come for the plots: many purchases here are bought for the land and the position, then rebuilt to a contemporary specification.
