Dear Reader, Welcome to the Developments Worldwide 2013 property magazine! After what could only be described as a tumultuous time in the property industry over the last few years, we are delighted to report an upturn in both the Spanish and worldwide property market. Marbella, Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús in particular are currently experiencing a scarcity of desirable property in prime locations, specifically amongst international investors mainly from Scandinavia, Russia and the UK. That said, there are plenty of high calibre properties situated in equally popular locations. It is our aim to provide you with a snap shot of the type of re-sale, long-term and short-term rental properties available on the Costa del Sol, in particular around the beautiful new beach and golf developments such as the Aloha Hill Club, La Alzambra Hill Club, La Corniche, Los Arqueros Beach and Avalon at Los Arqueros Golf. (See pages 13 to 17) After careful research and consultation with preferred developers and investment experts, we have also put together a portfolio of properties located a little further afield, in far flung locations such as Brazil, Canada and the Cayman Islands, stating five good reasons why you should invest in each destination. Sit back, relax and enjoy the read! Linda Preece Developments Worldwide

I was initially wary of letting my beautiful beachfront apartment in Marbella, so I chose Developments Worldwide to manage and offer our property for the rental market. I am delighted at the way they cared for and looked after my place, and the income generated is far greater than I had anticipated. I would recommend them without any hesitation if you are considering letting your property. Kuldeep Singh, London
