The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

Recent reports from the Spanish government suggest that the Spanish Golden Visa programme, which offers residency to non-EU investors, is under scrutiny and may soon undergo significant changes, including potential discontinuation. As a result, we are advising our clients and interested investors to consider acting swiftly if they wish to secure a Golden Visa through investment in Spanish real estate.

One of the reasons Marbella continues to be the most popular destination for Western Europeans, Scandinavians and Eastern Europeans – even a burgeoning number of Americans – to live, work and holiday is that it is comprised of a myriad of neighbourhoods, each with different communities and lifestyles all living and working happily together. Whatever your lifestyle, there’s an area that will suit you.

Spring is one of the best times for property hunting in Marbella. The sun is shining but not so hot you only want to spend the day on the beach or by the pool, and gardens and flowerbeds are blooming after the winter months, showing off properties and urbanisations at their most delightful.

Welcome to Creators International School, Málaga and the Costa del Sol’s first tech-focused school that aims to become a springboard for the next generation of tech pioneers, innovators and world leaders. Opening in September 2024 in Benahavís, our British, STEM-based curriculum, with a focus on mathematics, physics and computer sciences, aims not just to educate, but to ignite a passion for learning in young minds.

While the Costa del Sol is known throughout the world for its long stretches of beautiful beaches, more active residents and holidaymakers already know that it also offers a wealth of breathtaking hiking trails which range in exertion from wheelchair-accessible beachside meanders to fully adventurous mountain walks that would test any serious hiker’s mettle.

Marbella’s recent honour as the Best European Destination for 2024, as confirmed by the European Best Destinations (EBD) and noted in respected business publication Forbes, marks a significant milestone for the city and the broader tourism industry.
