What is Santa Clara?
Santa Clara is a peaceful residential area between Elviria and El Rosario on Marbella's eastern coast. It is centred around the Santa Clara Golf Club, a compact 9-hole course that gives the neighbourhood its green, open character.
The area is primarily residential with well-maintained urbanisations, townhouse complexes and some villas. It offers a quieter, more affordable alternative to the better-known eastern neighbourhoods while still being within easy reach of schools and the beach.
