The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

On the Costa del Sol, there is sometimes something of a confusion, in the sense that the word ‘Marbella’ is frequently used to describe an area even when it actually falls within a different municipality, such as those of Ojén, Estepona and Benahavis.

In Marbella, spring is for country drives amid the floral beauty of the Andalusian interior; summer is for surfing in Tarifa and beach life on the Costa del Sol; autumn is for hiking in the countryside and city escapes; and winter is when the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada’s very own alpine resort beckon.

Marbella is synonymous with golf, and golf with Marbella. Indeed, with over 70 excellent courses offering a broad variety of settings and playing challenges, the ‘Costa del Golf’ represents the main concentration of the game on the European continent, making it one of the global hotspots for golf.

As a specialist in luxury Marbella real estate, Marbella Hills Homes has earned a reputation for its open, efficient and friendly approach to finding discerning people the Costa del Sol property options they wish for.

Who would have thought it a year ago, but not only did Marbella enjoy a good summer holiday season, where normally visitor numbers drop after the heights of August they have now continued almost unchanged – resulting in record statistics for the months of September and October.

Just as it is doing around the world, there is a strong trend toward sustainable construction that is sweeping Marbella and other parts of the Costa del Sol. This movement, whose early roots in the area date back over 25 years now, has in recent times built up the critical mass needed to really make an impact on the market, and this has happened thanks to a combination of increased homebuyer awareness, followed by developers responding to this demand and local and regional authorities encouraging it.
