Penthouse for sale in Marbella Centro

Marbella is the flagship municipality of the Costa del Sol, stretching 27 kilometres along the Mediterranean coast between the Sierra Blanca mountains and the sea. Its population reached 173,420 registered residents on the municipal roll (padrón) as of January 2026, up from 156,295 just three years earlier - a gain of over 17,000 people in three years, with more than nine in ten new arrivals coming from outside Spain. Roughly 36% of residents hold a non-Spanish nationality across 155 countries; Morocco is the single largest foreign nationality (over 6,100 residents), followed by large British, Colombian and Northern European communities.

Six distinct sub-markets make up the residential landscape: the western beachside neighbourhoods of Guadalmina and San Pedro de Alcántara, the golf-rich hills of Nueva Andalucía, the prestigious Golden Mile corridor, the historic old town, and the long eastern coastal strip from Los Monteros to Cabopino.
