The golf villa is a classic Marbella property type that corresponds with a unique way of life overlooking the gorgeous greenery of undulating fairways, manicured greens, bunkers and manmade lakes – all of this against the background of mountains and sea views that characterise life in Marbella and indeed the Costa del Sol.
Add the peace and quiet of living near or ideally right upon a golf course, and it becomes clear why this is perhaps the most hotly desired property position after the ever-popular frontline beach location. Today, few new courses are built, so villas with frontline golf locations are increasingly scarce, and if you have the rights to direct private access to the course from your garden it entails membership of the neighbouring golf club and a special level of convenience and status for lovers of the game.
The conditions for golf are ideal in this part of Europe, where it is played intensively from September to June, and many of the elegant clubhouses feature excellent facilities such as golf academies, coaching, buggy and caddy service, equipment rentals, pro shops, changing rooms, gyms and in some cases even spas. Most also have an attractive bar, restaurant, lounge area, meeting and events rooms, and the signature outdoor café with fantastic views. Some clubs offer to send someone around to take your order while you’re playing and either return with freshly made refreshments or have your snack and drink ready when you arrive back at the clubhouse.
It’s a special way of life in Marbella full of camaraderie, but golf-fronting properties are highly desired even by those who do not play the game, for the elegance and natural beauty surrounded the clubs and their courses make for a fantastic location to live. With sea, mountains and the glamour spots of Marbella and Puerto Banús nearby, it’s a near-idyllic setting for your home.
The main area for golf villas in Marbella is the Golf Valley in Nueva Andalucía, but you can also find stunning golf properties in Los Flamingos, Guadalmina, La Alqueria and La Quinta.
