Marbella is the largest part of our listings by value and by number. Most of what we sell is villas in Nueva Andalucía and on the Golden Mile, with apartments and penthouses in the same areas and in Marbella East. This is a market with its own rules, and the first one is that the postcode matters more than the house.
Marbella passed 173,000 registered residents in January 2026, up from 156,295 in 2023, and about 36 percent of them are foreign nationals. The average asking price in 2026 is around 6,075 euros per square metre, from roughly 5,450 in San Pedro de Alcántara to close to 7,000 on the Golden Mile. Verified sale prices from Tinsa sit well below asking, nearer 3,421 per square metre across the whole municipality, which tells you two things: the spread between a modest flat and a hillside villa is enormous, and the listed price is a starting point, not a verdict.
Our own stock reflects where the demand is. Villas outnumber everything else, most of them with four to six bedrooms, and the areas we list most are Nueva Andalucía, especially La Cerquilla and Aloha, and the Golden Mile from Rocío de Nagüeles up to Sierra Blanca and Cascada de Camoján. Apartments and penthouses come up on the beach side of the Golden Mile, in Puente Romano and in the Marbella East urbanisations. Our Marbella area guide explains the twenty plus neighbourhoods, and the mid year market outlook has the numbers behind this paragraph.
The Golden Mile runs from the edge of the old town to Puerto Banús, with the Marbella Club and Puente Romano hotels on the beach side and Nagüeles, Sierra Blanca and Cascada de Camoján climbing the hill behind. It is the most expensive address in southern Spain and the one where prices have risen most reliably over the last decade. Nueva Andalucía, the golf valley behind Puerto Banús, is where most of our villa sales happen: Las Brisas, Aloha, Los Naranjos and La Cerquilla, each around its own course.
Puerto Banús itself is apartments, marina views and noise in August. Marbella Centro and the old town are the walkable option, with the best food on the coast and the fewest parking spaces. East of the centre, Marbella East is a different market: Los Monteros, Río Real, Elviria, Las Chapas and Cabopino, quieter, greener, with the beach clubs locals use and, from 2031, the St. Regis at Las Dunas, which we follow in our St. Regis Marbella post. West of Banús, Guadalmina Baja and San Pedro have their own page.
Marbella buyers are the most international on the coast: British, Dutch, Belgian, Scandinavian, German, Swiss, Middle Eastern and, increasingly, American. Most pay cash. Most buy to live for part of the year, and a growing share relocate outright, which is why the international schools (Aloha College, Swans, the English International College, Laude) and the two hospitals, Costa del Sol and Quirónsalud, matter as much as the beach. Málaga airport is 45 to 60 km away, 35 to 50 minutes on the AP-7.
The investor logic is about scarcity rather than yield. There is no more land on the Golden Mile, the planning system is slow, and the brands keep coming: Four Seasons at Los Monteros, St. Regis at Las Dunas, Armani on the Golden Mile, the Saudi royal family expanding at Al Riyadh. We write about each of them when the facts are public. Rental yields on villas are low, 2 to 4 percent, and the money is made on resale. If you need the yield, buy an apartment near Banús or in Marbella East, not a villa in Sierra Blanca.
New build in Marbella means branded residences and boutique villa projects more than large developments; there is simply not much land left. Our new developments in Marbella page lists what is open for reservation, with the branded projects explained in our Armani Residences post. Expect 10 percent VAT and 1.2 percent stamp duty, a service charge set by the operator, and a contract that governs what you can change.
Resales are the bulk of the market and the bulk of what we sell. Transfer tax is 7 percent today and 6.75 percent from 2027. On a villa, the two things to check before the deposit are the licence history, because Marbella's 1986 plan and its annulled 2010 plan left thousands of homes with paperwork to regularise, and the community statutes if you plan to let. Our four due diligence checks cover both, and Pérez de Vargas, the firm that handles nearly all of our completions, reads every file before our clients sign.
Current listings range from €639.000 to €19.500.000, depending on location, size and property type.

Budget about 8.5% on top of the price for a resale and about 12.7% for a new build. On a resale that covers the 7% transfer tax in Andalusia plus notary, land registry and legal fees; a new build pays 10% VAT and 1.2% stamp duty instead of transfer tax. Our step-by-step buying guide walks through the full process.
