The charming residential area of Cabopino in the heart of Marbella East is also one of the prettiest and most diverse in the greater Marbella region. Though compact, it offers so much, ranging from pine groves, long sandy beaches and protected coastal dunes to its own golf course and yacht marina – not to mention a good choice of shops, restaurants and cafés.

If Marbella town is your point of reference in the area, then there is a ‘West Marbella’ and an ‘East Marbella’. The former is very well-known, encompassing popular areas such as Guadalmina, the little town of San Pedro Alcántara, the Golf Valley of Nueva Andalucía and the marina of Puerto Banús. But there is also a beautiful eastern part of Marbella, which begins just east of the town centre at the exclusive frontline golf residential urbanisation of Río Real.

Once you’ve decided to purchase a property in Marbella or its surrounding areas, a question will arise in your mind as you become more familiar with the homes here. Namely, whether to opt for a modern off-plan home, a newly renovated one or what is locally known as a resale property – an existing house.

Those who are familiar with Marbella may not have been to or even heard of Ojén, but people who know the Costa del Sol well will almost certainly recognise this charming country village set in a broad valley not more than five minutes’ drive from downtown Marbella.

One of the best characteristics of Marbella is its ability to provide privileged settings that offer the best of both worlds in different ways, be it peace, privacy and security combined with easy access to all the services of the Costa del Sol. Or maybe being surrounded by space, nature and fantastic views blended with convenience and on the spot concierge services. You could also cite the unusual mix of country chic with five-star deluxe amenities on your doorstep; indeed there are many such combinations, but very few places that satisfy them all.

The Golden Mile is famous as Marbella’s most illustrious address, not just because it is home to many of the most gorgeous properties in the region, but also because of the pedigree associated with this location and the legendary Marbella Club and Puente Romano hotels that first made it internationally famous.
