Palo Alto A boutique eco-development in the hills above Marbella, near Ojén

Wat is Palo Alto?

Palo Alto is a boutique residential development built by Taylor Wimpey España in the hills above eastern Marbella, close to the white village of Ojén. The project is built around low-density, eco-conscious architecture: green roofs, natural stone facades and buildings designed to sit within the surrounding Mediterranean forest rather than clear it.

The development combines apartments, penthouses and villas with shared facilities aimed at residents who spend time on site rather than just sleeping there - a clubhouse, co-working space, organic garden and wellness-focused amenities sit alongside the residential blocks.

Because it sits inland and uphill from Marbella rather than on the beachfront, Palo Alto trades sea views and walk-to-beach convenience for quiet, forest surroundings and proximity to Ojén. A car is necessary for daily life here.

Wie woont er in Palo Alto?

Palo Alto attracts design-conscious buyers and remote-working professionals looking for an alternative to the traditional Costa del Sol resort setting - more forest and village than seafront and marina. The population skews younger and more internationally mixed than long-established coastal urbanisations, drawn by the development's sustainability focus and wellness facilities. It suits both year-round residents who work from home and seasonal owners who want a quieter base within reach of Marbella.
