The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

Mijas is a large municipal area bordering Marbella on the eastern side that encompasses several different residential areas. The main town and seat of the municipal authority is Mijas Pueblo, a very pretty white Andalusian mountain village overlooking Fuengirola and the Costa del Sol from a height of 430 metres.

Think of Zen and Marbella is maybe not the first place that comes to mind, but look around you will see it all over.

We love all the properties we offer for sale, but like many ‘parents’, we do have some favourites. And the best of the best we collect in our Property of the Month – a monthly highlight of Marbella homes for sale that offer optimal quality, value for money and privileged location and views.

March may not be the most famous month in Marbella as elsewhere, but in reality, it is a time when so many things come together on the Costa del Sol that it makes this a magical part of the year.

Recent events have caused more and more people looking for property to buy in Marbella to focus on villas with private gardens, and fortunately there is no shortage of options or indeed different natural settings here. In fact, with its warm microclimate right on the Mediterranean Sea, the whole area is a natural garden.

Those familiar with Marbella will know San Pedro Alcántara as the lively, very Andalusian little town that falls within the Marbella municipal area and provides a local hub for residents of the luxurious residential areas surrounding it. But San Pedro and its immediate surroundings are also a fine lifestyle destination in their own right, with lovely suburbs and beautiful homes to choose from – all surrounded by golf, facing beaches and within minutes of Puerto Banús, Marbella town, Benahavis and Estepona. In fact, it’s a great location!
