Marbella is known the world over for having some of the most impressive and luxurious villas on the market. If you are looking to invest in such a property, Altavista Property has a stunning and extensive selection to suit every taste, price and location. What’s more, they have come down significantly in price since the market highs of 2008.

With this in mind, now could be the best time to find the villa of your dreams at a price that is unlikely to be seen again. Regardless of the state of the national economy, Marbella has and always will be a savvy place to invest in a property as it never goes out of fashion. Perhaps this is due to its celebrity patronage (George Clooney is the latest in a long line of stars to buy a home here) or the fact that it is a stunning part of Europe, with 320 days of cloudless skies a year. Marbella remains an enviable place to live, and for this reason the property market has remained buoyant. The Costa del Sol town boasts many exclusive areas where some of the world’s most sumptuous and beautiful villas can be found. Among the most sought after spots to own a villa are those on both sides of the famed Golden Mile. Here you will find a plethora of super-luxurious villas hiding their modesty in the leafy foothills of the Sierra Blanca or facing the Golden Mile beach. Other desirable areas near to Marbella and Puerto Banús include tranquil and exclusive areas such as La Zagaleta, El Madroñal and Benahavís. Historically, villas referred to ancient Roman upper-class country homes, however nowadays modern villas boast beautiful landscaped gardens, opulently sized swimming pools and breathtaking views from their elevated positions. In Marbella those views include the Rock of Gibraltar, the Moroccan coastline and the Mediterranean Sea. Most are built with the summer months in mind when al-fresco wining and dining take priority over life’s day-to-day worries. Inside, such homes often come with their own cinema rooms, panoramic terraces on every floor, spa suites, wine cellars and nearby amenities such as restaurants and bars, while recent years have also seen a gradual shift towards more modern and avant-garde villas with advanced electronic control systems. So whatever style of villa you are looking for on the Costa del Sol, you’ll be sure to find something that matches your taste and budget on the Villas Section of our website.
