Once again, it is a true pleasure to address the readers of The Marbella Property Magazine, which has become an integral part of Marbella’s identity.
Year after year, Panorama’s publication offers not only a reflection of the exceptional real estate market of our city, but is also a testament to the passion, professionalism, and commitment that define Panorama – Marbella’s longest established agency and a trusted reference in the sector.
This year is even more special, as we celebrate a remarkable milestone: the 55th anniversary of Panorama. For more than half a century, Panorama has been synonymous with quality, integrity, and excellence, the very values that define Marbella and that have helped shape its international reputation.
As Mayor, and on behalf of the city, I would like to congratulate Panorama on this impeccable track record and, above all, express our gratitude for having been, and continuing to be, a key contributor to ensuring that the Marbella brand shines brightly.
We continue to project ourselves to the world as a trusted destination full of investment opportunities, and we have always had the good fortune of having prestigious ambassadors to promote our strengths— such as the driving force behind Panorama, Christopher Clover, together with his children Alex and Katinka.
With their outstanding team, this leading real estate firm has been a catalyst for Marbella’s development and international projection over the decades, and we are confident that it will remain so in the exciting future that is already taking shape.
From the Town Hall, we remain committed to implementing strategies that position us at the forefront, with a constant focus on delivering first-class services. In this regard, we continue to take firm steps towards implementing a new urban development plan as soon as possible.
Ángeles Muñoz, Mayor of Marbella
Our goal is to streamline and modernise planning regulations, in accordance with regional legislation, through a new General Plan that will also promote a more sustainable Marbella, encourage job creation, and strengthen our infrastructure and economic activity.
All indicators show that our city continues to be a unique destination to visit, to live, and to invest in. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, urban development projects represented an investment of 72 million euros—an increase of 34% compared to the same period last year.
These excellent economic results are the outcome of strong and successful collaboration between entrepreneurs and public institutions. The alliance between the public and private sectors is essential for Marbella to continue being the benchmark of leadership and quality of which we are so proud. Once again, thank you to Panorama for its invaluable contribution to making Marbella a global point of reference.

The last twelve months have reinforced a pattern of enduring strength, one that has outpaced the cautious outlooks that followed the post-pandemic boom.
Where many expected a cooldown, Marbella instead deepened its standing as a safe haven. The market’s resilience is no longer just a consequence of past momentum, it has become the new normal Marbella has stepped onto the world stage as never before and is increasingly recognised alongside global hubs like Dubai and Miami, in addition to every famous resort destination in Europe, for its luxury lifestyle and real estate appeal, despite its far smaller scale.
Marbella is a city thriving at the forefront of its evolution, with a significant potential for sustainable and controlled growth: investment is pouring in, tourism figures continue to be strong, infrastructure projects are being accelerated, and planning regulations are adapting to achieve these ends.
Marbella’s position as a global, ultra-luxury destination
There are few destinations in the world today that can match Marbella’s transformation over the past decades. The city has not only entered, but has consolidated its place among the global elite of ultra-prime residential resort locations. This evolution is not merely symbolic: it is reinforced by international awards, high-end development, Michelin accolades, and the ever-growing presence of a truly cosmopolitan community.
In 2024, Marbella was voted “Best Overall Destination in Europe” by European Best Destinations,1 based on over a million traveller votes from 172 countries, a title that highlights the city’s broad appeal and unmatched lifestyle. This followed its earlier recognition as second place winner in the same category in 20222, surpassing Monte Carlo, Capri and other renowned enclaves. Accolades such as these reflect the global spotlight now firmly shining on Marbella as a widely recognised, year-round destination.

Marbella’s luxury hospitality o ering continues to thrive at the highest level. The Marbella Club Hotel, that celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2024, was awarded two Michelin Keys, the prestigious new distinction introduced by the Michelin Guide to recognise exceptional hotels o ering outstanding hospitality. In parallel, the Puente Romano Marbella resort has emerged as a culinary epicentre of the Costa del Sol, hosting over 20 restaurants, including world-renowned names such as Cipriani, Nobu, Coya and Gaia. The opening of El Pimpi in May 2024, led by part-owner Antonio Banderas, added a touch of Andalusian authenticity and celebrity glamour to an already glittering scene.
Marbella has become a gastronomic powerhouse, with multiple Michelin-starred establishments such as Skina, Messina, Nintai and Back3 and a long list of fine dining experiences that now compete with the best in Europe. In fact, the city’s dining, entertainment, concerts, wellness and fashion
o erings are increasingly the reason why visitors transition from holidaymakers to part time, or permanent, residents.
An essential element of this prestige is the city’s large percentage of international residents. As of January 2025, almost one-third of Marbella’s 166,999 o cially registered residents are foreigners, according to the Municipal Register of Residents, from 152 di erent countries4. To this figure one must add between 75,000 and 100,000 foreigners living in Marbella as residents, or part time tourists living in their own homes in the winter months, as well as those others staying in hotels and rented accommodations, who form the basis of Marbella’s floating “unregistered” population5 , reflecting the truly global nature of this community.
The Costa del Sol, with Marbella at its forefront, leads Europe in branded residences6 and is a natural extension of its firmly established identity as a multinational hub for luxury

living. Nowhere is this more evident than in Puerto Banús and the surrounding areas, where one can find an extraordinary concentration of prestigious global fashion brands, complemented by an equally impressive array of automotive brands. The presence of these world-recognised names underscores Marbella’s alignment with international standards of excellence and positions the city as an ideal environment for the development of branded real estate projects.
Marbella’s luxury property landscape has been undergoing a seismic shift, driven in part by a wave of high profile branded residence projects. The upcoming Four Seasons Resort & Private Residences, 7 designed by Richard Meier, includes a five-star hotel with 80 rooms and 40 suites, 136 private residences and 30 hotel residences consisting of villas, townhouses and apartments divided almost evenly. Starting prices for these properties are yet to be established and will only be announced when the project is o cially launched, possibly in the first quarter of 2026, with construction scheduled to start at the beginning of 2027. The Marbella Four Seasons project cements Marbella’s appeal to a global luxury client. Indeed, just the presence of a Four Seasons in Marbella will attract many highnet-worth visitors who have not yet discovered the magic of Marbella.

with five bespoke homes that merge sustainable materials with high fashion minimalism.8 In Nueva Andalucía, there are eight Versace Villas, spanning 2,000-squaremetre plots, with opulent design and five-star service.9 Then you have elite launches such as The Summit Marbella byElie Saab in Cascada de Camoján, Lamborghini inspired TerraViva in Benahavís, and lengthy pipelines including Marea by Missoni at Finca Cortesin, Aida furnished by Bentley, around the corner from Puente Romano, the W Resort Marbella by Marriott, which has been upgraded to one of their ultra luxury brands, either a St. Regis or Ritz Carlton10, and Angsana Residences at RealdelaQuinta
Simultaneously, the resale market has shattered records. Villas in Sierra Blanca and Cascada de Camoján now command prices that rival Europe’s most exclusive addresses, and include four of the ten most expensive residential streets in all of Spain. A fifth most expensive area included in this category is Coto La Zagaleta in Benahavís, part of the greater Marbella residential real estate market, and without a doubt, the most exclusive country club in Europe.11

Tourism has always been the driving force behind Marbella’s international success, not only as an economic driver, but as a powerful introducer of the city to the world’s most discerning travellers.
Of particular significance is the presence of residential tourism, the trend of international visitors acquiring second homes not only for holidays, but for extended seasonal stays or part-time living. This movement began in Marbella in the 1950s, when visionary figures such as Ricardo Soriano, Marquis of Ivanrey, and his nephew Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe introduced the town to a selective global audience, setting the standards for low-rise, low-density development and ensuring, together with the other “founders” of the city, that Marbella would never become overdeveloped like many other resort destinations in the Mediterranean Basin. Over time, what began as an elite holiday destination evolved into a form
of long-term investment, rooted in quality of life, security, climate and cosmopolitan appeal. Today, residential tourism remains one of the most influential forces shaping Marbella’s urban growth, economy, and real estate market.
In 2024, Spain welcomed a recordsetting 94million international tourists, the highest ever recorded – an increase of approximately 10percent over 2023’s 83.5million arrivals12 surpassing even the prepandemic benchmark of 2019.
In 2025 this strong upward trajectory continued. By the end of June, 2025 over 52 million international travellers had visited Spain, a 6.4% increase over the first half of the previous year, with projections pointing to nearly 100 million arrivals by the end of 2025.13

best hotel occupation and hotel profits in its history.14
While the first half of 2025 saw a slight dip in overall tourism to Marbella, due principally to fewer domestic visitors15, a strong recovery in July, with 85,697 visitors, up by 11.9% from July 2024, underscores Marbella’s enduring appeal to international tourists.
In August 2025, however, Marbella hotels reached a new, historical high in hotel profitability with a 32% growth in two years, and a 15% increase in job creation and a 5.5% increase in occupation compared to 2024.16
There were also 89 hotels of all categories open in Marbella in the summer of 2025, 20 more than in 2024. Both these facts rea rm the overall strength of Marbella as a very strong tourist destination.17
Tourism in Marbella is no longer merely a summer phenomenon but is gradually spreading throughout the entire year, a trend that is also beginning to take shape across other resort cities in the Mediterranean Basin. This underscores what is already abundantly clear to those of us that live here: Marbella is not experiencing overtourism, unlike many larger cities in Spain and around Europe.18
As Mayor Ángeles Muñoz a rmed recently, “We are focused on consolidating a model that prioritises quality over quantity, and where the concept of luxury is a di erentiator, o ering visitors an exceptional experience in a unique location.”
This strategic vision continues to strengthen Marbella’s positioning as a world-class destination, with tourism serving as both a key
economic engine and a gateway to long-term residential investment.19
No luxury destination can thrive without first-class accessibility, and Marbella’s continued success as a global residential resort, together with that of the entire Costa del Sol, is inextricably linked to the exceptional performance of Málaga Airport, the region’s primary gateway. In 2024, Málaga Airport broke all previous records, with 24,923,774 travellers, 174,915 flights, and an amazing 155 direct destinations 20
In the first half of 2025 a record number of 11,494,109 passengers were registered – bringing the airport closer to its estimated maximum capacity of 30 million passengers per year. This exponential growth reflects both increased connectivity and the surging global interest in southern Spain.
The airport set a new benchmark this summer, with up to 60 private flights a day. The remarkable rise of executive aviation reflects not only the influx of high-net-worth holidaymakers, but also a growing number of business travellers drawn by the region’s dynamic economy. 21
Together, these factors reinforce the Costa del Sol’s position as one of Europe’s most prestigious and accessible destinations.
Plans are already underway for a major expansion of the airport’s capacity by the end of the decade as elaborated in a later section of this report.

Málaga Airport is also set to pioneer Spain’s first electric drone air-taxi service, connecting passengers to nearby areas such as Granada and Marbella.22
The aircraft will initially be flown by pilots, with autonomous operations planned for the future.
A 15-20 minute route to Marbella is scheduled for 2030, pending technological and regulatory advancements.
The increase in direct flights from the United States, Canada and the five di erent cities of the Middle East has also played a significant role in opening up Marbella to new, high-net-worth markets.
North American tourism, once limited and seasonal, has become more consistent, thanks in part to targeted promotions and Marbella’s strategic alignment with luxury travel networks.
With so much investment on all levels, Marbella has become a very wealthy city. Yet, an important part of the real wealth of Marbella is not just material, but a result of the innumerable di erent types of lifestyles available, and especially the outstanding example (among many notable failures in Europe) of a multicultural society where so many people from so many di erent nationalities are living together in harmony.
As our Mayor, Ángeles Muñoz,
recently stated, “Marbella distinguishes itself from other resort destinations by o ering a one-ofa-kind blend of world-class hotels, residential properties, services and facilities, solidifying our position as one of the most significant resort cities in the world.” 23
Marbella also continues to attract creatives, designers, chefs and lifestyle trendsetters, many of whom are inspired not only by the natural beauty of the region, but by the exceptional quality of its light, architecture as well as its growing cultural atmosphere. This unique energy is one of the hidden drivers behind Marbella’s growing lifestyle economy.
Marbella’s lifestyle o ers freedom of movement, closeness to nature and a profound sense of well-being, qualities now more sought-after than ever before in the postpandemic world.
The result is a city that provides something increasingly rare: a complete lifestyle, where leisure, business, family, wellbeing and personal growth intersect seamlessly.

The Marbella real estate market has entered a new phase, one that is defined not by short-term booms or speculative cycles, but by long-term structural strength.
The period following the pandemic might have set new records, but what has followed is even more remarkable: a high-level market characterised by robust demand, limited supply, and increasingly discerning buyers.
In 2024 a total of 695,545 property sales were registered across Spain, an increase of 8.9% over 2023, with foreigners representing around 14.5% of the total. In the “Golden Triangle” 2024 closed with 8,708 property sales: Marbella recording 4,745 transactions, Estepona 3,162, and Benahavís 801, as reflected in the above table. This shows a healthy increase of 5.65% over 2023, and a 31.42% increase over the pre-pandemic year of 2019.24
The first semester of 2025 (statistics available at the date of publication of this report)25, for the three municipalities has shown interesting market movement, and is almost exactly on the same sales level for the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2024, at a
total of 4,293 sales in the first half of 2025 versus 4,232 last year.
The first quarter of 2025 also showed a sales level similar to that of the last quarter of 2024, with the total of Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona sales descending an insignificant 3.4% from the prior quarter.
In the second quarter (provisional statistics), the sales in the three municipalities descended by 8.3% compared with the first quarter, with Estepona leading the drop of 13.2%, followed by Marbella at 6.3% and a slight improvement in sales in Benahavís of 2.6%.
Overall, sales numbers and percentages of change are summarised in the table on the opposite page.
The drop in sales in the second quarter of 2025 in Marbella and Estepona is a clear indication that the market is levelling out, a natural and expected result of the historic surge in sales in the post pandemic year of 2022. A contributing factor is that the strong demand in prior quarters has no doubt absorbed, for the moment, the best (and most reasonably priced) properties on the market. Evidence to this is a

Sales numbers and percentages of change, 2024/2025
report by Idealista, Spain’s most important property portal, on June 30, 2025 which stated that the number of homes for sale across the country dropped by 20%, year on year, the biggest drop that they have ever recorded.26 This drop is especially applicable to the Marbella area market due to the intense international demand in the area. It is logical to conclude that the shortage of properties for sale is making it more di cult for buyers to find the exact property they want at the price they want to pay for it. This lack of product has resulted in some signs of buyer resistance noted, especially from the second quarter of 2025. Agents and lawyers are reporting that although the market, especially the prime, luxury market, is still strong, with a good rhythm of sales, viewings and enquiries on about the same level as 2024, buyers are taking longer times for decision-making, negotiations are
more complicated and drawn-out, and there is greater scrutiny of all details, including construction quality with new or refurbished properties, than in the past.
The severe shortage of properties for sale is led by new builds as well as properties in all categories, both nationally as well as locally. Of the 695,545 property sales in Spain in 2024, only 61,457 (just 8.83%) were new-builds as per the graphs above. Compared with 20 years ago, in 2005, for example, there were approximately 306,000 sales of newly-built properties, over five and a half times the volume of newbuilds today.27
This stark decline highlights a deep and ongoing structural shortage in new housing supply both nationally and locally as well as a post-2008 market over-correction, with newbuild activity yet to recover to prebubble levels.
26. Idealista: “Marbella housing prices already exceed 5,200 euros/m2 in July”, August 29, 2025
27. Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible (formerly Fomento): Transacciones inmobiliarias (compraventa)
In Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís, newly-built properties in 2024 accounted for just 13.63% of all sales in the region. Within this, Marbella saw only 7.94% of sales of newly-built properties, Estepona 22.99%, and Benahavís 10.36%.28 A major limiting factor in this sense is the scarcity of building plots in the area’s most desirable residential areas. One should always bear in mind that newly-built properties are only recorded when the title deeds are issued, and most of them will likely have been sold by private contract months, or years before, thereby distorting the real sales figures for the period under examination.
Real, verified prices from the new Notarial Housing Portal
The big news for this year is the creation of a new o cial portal developed by the notaries of Spain, the Portal Estadistico del Notariado29, o ering information on the real estate market for the first time on a municipal level, based on actual sale prices and further data recorded in notarial deeds. This information, up until now, has been available only on a national, regional and provincial level, and it provides much more than just prices. This free public tool provides detailed information that now allows buyers, sellers, investors and property developers to make decisions with far greater accuracy, security, and transparency.
This is something that Panorama has petitioned for over many years, and it is exciting to see this portal finally become a reality.
According to this new o cial source, the average real sale price per square metre in Marbella in the twelve months prior to September 2025, was €4,228 with the average price of €4,509 per square metre
from July to September, 2025 and an increase in average prices in the whole municipality in 2024 of 12.59%. These are real transaction values, not asking prices, and therefore provide a far more accurate picture of what buyers are actually paying in the marketplace.
By comparison, data from the well-known listing portal Idealista, which served as an excellent guide until now, indicated average asking prices of around €5,400 per square metre in Marbella in September 202530
Of course, the prices indicated in Idealista and other property portals are only as good as their own database of asking prices for properties in each area. The Notarial Portal now bridges this gap by publishing verified, deed-based data at the municipal level for the first time in Spain.
The new portal features interactive maps and statistical dashboards that display national, regional provincial and municipal data, as well as each postcode area, and allows users to filter by property type, size, and transaction volume. All figures are drawn directly from notarised deeds of sale, aggregated and updated regularly, o ering a reliable and transparent overview of real market activity.
For Marbella and the Costa del Sol, and indeed, throughout the country, this portal represents a major step forward. For the first time, agents, developers, and analysts can base their assessments on actual average prices, what buyers truly pay, and much more detailed information about buyers than ever before, resulting in more accurate valuations, more preciser pricing strategies, and better-informed decisions for all participants in the market.

This new level of transparency marks an important milestone for the Spanish real estate sector. Examples of the type of additional, valuable information provided by the new portal for the year up to September, 2025 are as follows:
• Average age of buyers in Marbella: 52
• Percentage of buyers between 41 and 60: 54% (and further breakdown in accordance with age)
• Average sales price throughout Marbella: €711,138 (national average is €210,361)
• Average price on the Golden Mile (postcode 29602): € 1,085,457
• Average size of property sold: 168 m2 (national average is 113 m2)
• Percentage of foreign buyers across the Marbella market: 63.14%
• Percentage of purchases made by physical people as compared to companies; 77.75%
• Nationalities of foreign buyers (see pie chart on page 30 for average Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís)
• Surprise leading nationality of foreign purchasers in Estepona is
the Dutch!
• The nationality section divides resident and non-resident foreigners as separate percentages of the whole.
• Distinguishing between new and resale properties as well as villas and apartments.
Never before have we had access to such precise market information, even broken down by postcode within each municipality. This new level of transparency represents a remarkable step forward, the result of the excellent work of Spain’s Notarial Council, marking a clear turning point in the availability of real estate data in the country.
Due to the strong price increases of recent years and the consequent position of the market as a “sellers’ market”, coupled with the di culty in finding reliable statistics with regard to real sales prices, until the 23rd October 2025 when the Notarial Statistic Portal was launched, some owners are listing their properties at overly ambitious prices
Above: Screenshot of the map and information page on Marbella from the new Notarial Housing Portal
For the first time, the British have lost their top slot in the Estepona municipality. The surprise leading nationality of foreign purchases in Estepona is the Dutch!
Some have gone too far, pricing their properties at a level that doesn’t even entice viewings. This imbalance tends to correct itself over time, as owners come to terms with the fact that while the market remains healthy it may not align with their expectations. Or with what they might have been led to believe by some agents more eager to secure the listing than to o er accurate guidance on real market value.
Sellers who want to ensure their properties get great market exposure and regular viewings should concentrate on pricing their properties realistically
The key for both sellers and buyers seeking to understand real market value is to work with an agent who has the experience and knowledge to demonstrate real selling prices per square metre of comparable properties. This is the only reliable and objective method for determining current market value.
In one word, yes, but probably in more moderation. Both in the luxury segment and across all levels of the residential and commercial sectors, including all land categories. And this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future for a variety of reasons:
With respect to luxury properties priced between €2 million and €20 million or more:
• The historic demand for properties in the luxury end of the market has reached new levels driven by high-net-worth and ultrahigh net worth buyers.
• The supply remains far below current demand, which continues to drive prices upwards.
• The well-known lack of zoned construction parcels in prime areas,
with steep price increases for those available for sale.
• The surging cost of construction, construction materials, and severe shortfall of specialised labour.31
• The expansion of the luxury market for real estate worldwide due to a growing number of highnet-worth individuals and rising disposable incomes.
32
• Changing perceptions of the home as both a sanctuary and workspace. The pandemic reshaped priorities with outdoor areas, home o ces and flexible layouts becoming essential.
• Investors are continuing to expand their portfolios with highend real estate in prime areas around the world.
33
• Even with price increases, Marbella prime property remains highly competitive compared with properties in Dubai or Miami or luxury properties for sale around the Mediterranean Basin.34
Properties below €2 million will also increase in price for many of the same reasons. Especially the demand exceeding the very limited supply, rising construction costs, and the easing of interest rates.
Finally, although prices are expected to continue to rise, we anticipate that given the sharp increases since the pandemic and the stabilisation of sales volume, price growth over the next year will most likely be more moderate

Real market evidence of square metre prices achieved
To compliment the new price information from the Notary website, Panorama has compiled its own statistics based on real sales prices completed in the last months of 2024 and first eight months of 2025, offering a clear picture of the achieved sales prices per square metre across different residential areas of Marbella.
In our latest review of selected resale apartments (excluding those located within Puente Romano or off-plan properties), several noteworthy trends stand out.
· The appeal of Marbella East
In the highest priced properties, we find the examples of exquisitely renovated, furnished, and decorated frontline beach apartments in East Marbella. At the high end of our survey, one such apartment achieved a record resale price of almost €20,000 per square metre, a new benchmark in this area.
The second and fifth most expensive on the chart also belong to properties in the same eastern region of Marbella, closer to the town centre, which fetched €17,000 and €10,000 per square metre, respectively.
These results highlight the increasing appeal of East Marbella among investors targeting high-end renovation projects. In last year’s report, this ranking was dominated by properties in Estepona’s “New Golden Mile,” Puerto Banús, and the Golden Mile itself.
· Perfect penthouses
The third and fourth most expensive properties are luxurious duplex and triplex penthouses, located in sought-after Golden Mile developments such as Monte Paraíso and the recently completed (2023) Benalús complex reaching resale prices over €14,000 per square metre.
The latter has seen a substantial increase in value, owing largely to its strategic location and the fact that it is near some of Marbella’s most desirable new developments, including Design Hills Marbella by Dolce&Gabbana, EPIC Phases I–III and the Karl Lagerfeld Villas.
· Golden Mile, still golden On the other hand, properties in good or original condition, and even some refurbished homes, within consolidated Golden Mile developments like Señorío de Marbella and Coto Real, have maintained similar levels compared to last year, between €5,500 and €6,000 per square metre.
At the high end of our survey, one frontline beach apartment in Marbella East that was exquisitely renovated, furnished and decroated, achieved a record resale price of almost €20,000 per square metre, a new benchmark in this area

Among the higher priced townhouses in our sample study are recently built, or renovated, townhouses such as those in Arco Iris on the Golden Mile (which reached a record price for that complex of €7,295 per square metre), as well as projects like Marbella Senses – also on the Golden Mile – and a frontline beach townhouse in Pueblo Mediterráneo, East Marbella.
One of the best-located, beautifully renovated townhouses within the beachside development of Marbellamar, on the Golden Mile midway between Marbella and Puente Romano, reached a price of €11,031 per square metre.

In our villa sales sample study we included a villa sold in the prestigious Atalaya de Río Verde community adjacent to Nueva Andalucía and another in the community of Los Arqueros in Benahavís.
One was a resale in the recently completed project of semidetached villas, “Vilas 6,” (we include it here for its villa-like characteristics), reaching €12,634 per square metre.
The other was a villa unique for its location and high position within Los Arqueros with superb views over the golf, mountains and sea, but especially its unusually large plot size of over 4,000 square metres, achieving just over €10,500 per square metre.
Other notable villa sales include those in Benahavís – among them a grand estate with breathtaking
views in La Zagaleta and a newlybuilt home in Los Almendros. These four sales ranged between €7,900 and €12,600 per square metre.
Interestingly, some smaller villas in Nueva Andalucía have, in some cases, achieved higher prices per square metre than much larger estates elsewhere, due, no doubt, to the enormous popularity of Nueva Andalucía with its strategic location right behind Puerto Banús, and surrounded by Marbella’s best golf courses.

There are 400 privately owned apartments, plus the properties of the Puente Romano and Nobu Marbella Hotels, in the area we know as Puente Romano: those in Marina Puente Romano – with its Japanese, Persian and Andalusian Gardens – and the adjacent Las Terrazas de Puente Romano, with 252 apartments altogether, the Puente Romano and Nobu hotel complex, which, in addition to its 287 hotel-owned properties has about 70 privately owned studios or one-bedroom apartments within the hotel complex, and Puente Romano Phase II, just to the east of the hotel, with 78 apartments.
Puente Romano has evolved into a distinct micro-market within Marbella, an ultra-prime enclave where pricing operates in its own world.
Apartment prices in Puente Romano consistently exceed even the most exclusive benchmarks across the Costa del Sol and most of Europe, driven by privileged beachfront access, the unmatched lifestyle offered by being adjacent to the Puente Romano resort and the ultra-prime beachside location midway between Marbella city and Puerto Banús – the heart of the famous Golden Mile.
As of September, 2025, there were 18 apartments for sale in Puente Romano, including ground, middle floor and penthouse units, with asking prices ranging between €2,4 million and €7,5 million.
From August 2024 to August 2025, the average selling price per square metre of fully refurbished properties sold in Puente Romano area, excluding beachfront properties which are in a different category,
was €24,020 per square metre. For properties in need of refurbishment, the price reached was €19,039 per square metre.
Interestingly, just three years ago apartments available for sale in this area could be counted on one hand, but the wave of high-end refurbishments completed over the last two years has slightly outpaced current demand, creating short-term competition among sellers even though the demand for Puente Romano’s ultra-prime properties remains strong.
Even so, record-setting selling prices continue to define this market. One exceptional frontline beach apartment in the Persian Gardens, beautifully furnished and decorated, is reported to have reached almost €44,000 per square metre in March 2025, a price virtually unparalleled on the Spanish mainland and the highest ever recorded within the resort, surpassing last year’s record of €41,695 per square metre.
Across the different complexes within Puente Romano, asking price levels typically range from €14,800 to over €40,000 per square metre, depending on the exact location, orientation, finishes, date and quality of refurbishment, furniture and decoration, and, of course, views.
Currently, none of the small apartments in the original hotel complex of Puente Romano are for sale, and when one does come on to the market, it is usually snapped up in a few days.

This section covers both sold and still-available units in new developments, whether offplan, under construction, or completed.
The properties selected aren’t meant to be compared directly, but instead provide a broader perspective into pricing across various projects, from gardenlevel apartments to penthouses.
At the top end, we find branded properties in prime locations such as the Golden Mile with prices ranging between €16,000 and €21,000 per square metre, in frontline beach complexes in Estepona above €15,000 per square metre, or inland, ultraprivate estates like Finca Cortesín or Benahavís priced between €7,000 and €10,000 per square metre.
Pricing across these new offerings remains varied, with some projects offering surprisingly competitive prices between €3,000 and €7,000 per square metre, an opportunity that should not be overlooked by savvy investors.
In the townhouse segment, the leading properties include several reserved off-plan units in Nikki Living located in Nueva Andalucía, a new development planned as an aparthotel. Its success is in part due to perfect timing: these properties permit short term rentals, where the owner is restricted to two months personal use and obligated to rent out through the on-site property management team the rest of the year.
This is an attractive proposition for investors who have been affected by the recent limitations on new tourist rental licences implemented on July 1, 2025. Here prices have reached around €10,000 per square metre.

Again, branded residences dominate the high-end segment of newly-built villas, particularly those that are built on expansive plots. We are now seeing some villas priced above €14,000 per square metre, and even up to €22,000 per square metre, marking a new chapter in Marbella’s luxury real estate prices.
Despite the limited supply, the municipalities of Marbella, Benahavís, and Estepona o er a remarkable diversity of investment opportunities across all property types. The properties being o ered today in the luxury
In the luxury segment, which we define as properties priced over €2 million, both Panorama and other leading agencies report that less than 10% of these purchases involve financing, insulating the market from interest rate fluctuations and reflecting the purchasing power of Marbella’s clientele.
In 2024, British, Dutch, and Swedish nationals dominated the foreign buyer landscape in the Málaga province.Collectively, foreigners accounted for 34.75% of all of the property transactions in Málaga in the first quarter of 2025, over two and a half times the percentage of foreigners buying on a national level.35 In the Golden Triangle, the nationality of the foreign purchasers can be seen in the pie chart.

Panorama’s own sales in the Marbella area over the last two years have been to clients of 46 different nationalities, with the following percentages:
Contrary to initial expectations following Brexit, the British continue to buy properties in the luxury market, although their share continues to diminish year after year
Panorama’s headquarters, opposite the Marbella Club hotel on the Golden Mile
Marbella’s rental market is under intense and sustained pressure, with demand far exceeding supply and prices rising year after year. Both the long-term and short-term rental sectors are feeling the strain, amplified and complicated by increasing government intervention by local, regional, national and European Union governments, with major implications for investors, residents and the local economy.
The housing crisis in Spain is probably the most severe social issue facing the country today, and Marbella and the Costa del Sol are by no means exempt.
Marbella’s rental market is heavily skewed towards second homes and seasonal properties, creating acute housing shortages for the working and professional community, as it is in most areas of the country. Average long-term rents for an 80 square metre apartment have risen nearly 89% in six years, from €848 (€10.6/m²) in 2019 to €1,600 (€20/m²) in July 2025. Prime areas like the Golden Mile, Nagüeles, Nueva Andalucía, and Marbella East saw annual increases of around 10–11%.36
High costs have driven tenants to surrounding towns such as Ojén, Guaro, Coín and Manilva, where rents are also rising by 15–20% annually. This shortage creates sta ng challenges for hospitality, education, healthcare, and many other sectors. Some companies are buying properties to house sta .
The local government is taking measures to encourage new
building of a ordable housing. One of these measures includes the concessions of municipal land classified as “equipment land” to developers, at no charge, for the construction of a ordable housing, with priority for key workers. These and other measures will work in time, but in the meantime, there is upward price pressure on properties for rent just as much as there is on those for sale.
Since January 2024, sweeping governmental reforms introduced complex compliance requirements. These include Andalusian VUT licensing, the new national NRUA registration, municipal registers, and, since April 2025, homeowners’ community approval for tourist rentals.
As an example of the restrictions imposed by local authorities, Málaga City Council has implemented a three year moratorium on new tourist rental licenses across the municipality. Mayor Francisco de la Torre emphasized that “not one more” tourist property license will be granted during this period. The moratorium will remain in place while the city updates its General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU) to better balance tourism with a ordable housing needs 37
In Marbella, most of the properties being rented short-term are to high net worth clients by owners who are using the properties themselves, including a large number of villas, during the months outside the peak season. This is a very di erent scenario from these big cities where

often, the city centre apartments have mostly become short-term rental properties year-round, owned by investors, not end users, driving out the original Spanish owners due to the skyrocketing prices paid by investors. Many of these big cities, not only in Spain but elsewhere in Europe, are su ering from overtourism, which is fortunately not present in Marbella. Therefore, the Marbella Town Hall will not impose limits in any specific area on short-term rentals, although the situation will be “closely monitored” according to the Mayor. As of midAugust 2025, in Málaga province, including Marbella, only 49.6% of the tourist apartments authorised by the Junta de Andalucía were fully registered in the National Unified Tourist Rental Registry (NRUA). When including those still in the process of obtaining provisional authorisation, the figure rises to 65%.38
Homeowners’ community bans on short-term rentalsare already resulting in buyers refusing to purchase in some of these communities, thereby lowering the saleability and property values in those communities. On the other hand, some very exclusive communities have, in fact, enhanced their exclusivity by refusing short-term rentals. What is important to note is that there is no guarantee that a community now allowing short-term rentals might, at some future date, prohibit them and vice versa.
In many, if not most cases, instead of a total community ban on short-term rentals, moderate limits (e.g., a minimum of perhaps one week, or even one month stays) could preserve resale values while attracting reliable, quality tenants. For further information see the article published by LPA, the Leading Property Agents of Spain.39
A proposed national law seeks to apply a 21% VAT to short-term rentals aiming to shift supply toward long-term rentals. Strongly backed by the hotel industry (who pay 10% VAT but believe that touristic rentals should only pay the same percent tax as they do) the proposed law has sparked strong opposition, particularly from coastal property owners who rent seasonally to cover costs. Critics argue it would harm tourism, unfairly target shortterm rentals, and do little to ease the housing crisis. This newly proposed law is still under debate and is unlikely to be approved without important modifications, hinging on coalition support in Spain’s divided parliament and likely amendments due to regional and sector resistance.
Market e ects include a shift toward professionalised, hospitalitystyle management, some owners moving to long-term rentals, and new investors focusing on o -plan purchases for year-round leasing. However, many coastal properties used seasonally by owners were never part of the long-term market, meaning these laws will no doubt reduce short-term supply without easing the housing crisis, impacting tourism and local businesses.
Marbella has moved from minimal rental regulation to one of the strictest regimes worldwide, creating confusion and added costs. Current conditions are chaotic, with legal challenges, insu cient knowledge of the new laws by property owners, duplicated regulations and industry protests. Owners and investors are advised to work with experienced local advisors, monitor community rules, and adopt balanced rental strategies to protect both yields and property values.

Over the past three decades, as Marbella’s “off-season” gained popularity and remote working became more widespread, we have witnessed a clear shift in buyer profile: from traditional holidayhome purchasers to lifestyle-driven buyers seeking a true second home or a permanent residence. These buyers prioritise design, amenities, and services of the highest quality. They are well-informed, discerning, and value privacy, security, and long-term liveability.
Today’s buyers are not simply looking for properties, they are searching for a seamless lifestyle. Among the top priorities:
• Proximity to the beach, golf courses, or nature
• Turnkey or newly refurbished properties with modern amenities
• High-speed internet and office space for remote work
• Gated communities or discreet environments with 24-hour security
• Energy efficiency and sustainable design
• Proximity to international schools, health clinics, and transport links
• Smart homes are no longer considered a luxury, they are seen as a basic necessity.
Buyers in the €2–5 million range or higher, are shifting their focus toward long-term residence and integration into the Marbella life. At the upper end — particularly in Puente Romano, La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca and Cascada de Camoján
— the emphasis is on exclusivity, architectural uniqueness, security and concierge-level services.
Spain’s Golden Visa programme officially came to an end on April 3, 2025. For over a decade, the scheme granted residency rights to non-EU citizens investing €500,000 or more in Spanish real estate, helping to position Spain, and Marbella in particular, as an attractive destination for international investors. It facilitated access to the European Union for non-Schengen buyers and provided a steady, if modest, stream of purchasers to the Spanish property market.
The government’s decision to discontinue the programme was driven by the aim of alleviating housing pressures in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, where speculative purchases linked to the Golden Visa were seen as contributing to rising prices. While the measure may address those urban concerns, its effect in resort

markets like Marbella, where demand is primarily lifestyle-driven, is very limited.
Importantly, Spain continues to welcome international residents through the Non-Lucrative Visa, the increasingly popular Digital Nomad Visa, and permits for entrepreneurs and highly qualified professionals, ensuring that residence permits in the country remain accessible even without the Golden Visa.40
Proposed Spanish property tax doubling cost for NonEU buyers faces significant hurdles
On January 13, 2025, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a proposal to impose a 100% tax on the taxable base of secondhand (resale) property purchases by non-EU non-residents, aimed to address speculative buying amid Spain’s housing a ordability crisis. On May 15 the Socialistled government submitted the draft law to parliament. Added to existing regional transfer taxes of 7% in Andalucía, this tax would significantly increase costs for a ected buyers.
The tax would apply to transfers of real estate ownership or certain real rights (e.g., usufruct, bare ownership) but there are key exemptions, including especially all new properties and other properties subject to VAT rather than transfer tax.
The measure, which reflects the left-wing coalition government’s emphasis on social housing policies to foster alignment with its progressive allies, aims to prioritize housing access for Spanish residents. As of September, 2025, the proposal remains under review with passage uncertain due to the legal and political challenges.
This uncertainty with respect to whether the law will be approved or not, has spurred non-EU buyers to accelerate purchases particularly of resale properties a ected by the proposed law. Amendments or rejection of the law remains probable.
A key factor that separates stable property markets from speculative ones is legal and planning certainty. In this regard, Marbella has made important strides in recent years — laying the groundwork for a more transparent, reliable, and sustainable development model.

Planning Plan (PGOU) was replaced by two complementary planning instruments, the PGOM and the POU
The PGOM is a structural planning instrument that defines the municipality’s general development model, establishing strategic guidelines for the entire area. The POU is a detailed planning instrument that regulates urban land and, where applicable, developable land that has already been transformed, or is in the process of being transformed.
Andalusia’s LISTA law continues to reshape the legal landscape for urban planning across the region. Among its key features:
• Simplification of procedures for obtaining building permits
• Faster approval timelines for urban development projects
• Greater autonomyfor municipalities to manage local planning
• Environmental and energy e ciency criteria embedded into the planning process
For Marbella, LISTA has provided the legislative framework to modernise its approach without waiting for full PGOM and POU approval. This has facilitated small- and mid-scale development and renovation projects, while ensuring alignment with broader sustainability goals.
After a decade of uncertainty following the annulment in 2015 of the 2010 PGOU (General Urban Plan), the city continues under the framework of the 1986 Plan, albeit with numerous adaptations, which has allowed the plan to evolve in some respects, along with the city, over time.
The new PGOM should be definitively approved in the first half of 2026. The POU is expected to be approved initially in 202642 with a definitive approval expected between 2027 and 2028.
The PGOM aims to provide a clear, updated vision for Marbella’s future, with emphasis on:
• Sustainable urban growth
• Preservation of green and natural spaces
• Balanced development that meets housing needs without overburdening infrastructure
• Urban regeneration, especially in older neighbourhoods
• Legal regularisation of properties in limbo due to prior planning ambiguities
• A central theme of Marbella’s urban planning evolution is the concept of the “15-minute city” — a model that ensures all essential services (schools, healthcare, shopping, green spaces) are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride.
These new planning instruments reflect a vision of Marbella not as

a resort enclave, but as a selfsu cient, inclusive, and resilient Mediterranean city
The legalisation of previously irregular properties
One of the most pressing concerns historically in Marbella’s property sector has been the status of properties built under the nowannulled 2010 Plan. In many cases, properties that were granted licences under that framework have remained in legal limbo, creating uncertainty for owners and buyers.
In 2024, local authorities made significant progress toward regularising these properties, allowing them to be fully integrated into the planning system. The use of tools like Declaraciones
Responsables Urbanísticas (Urban Responsibility Declarations) and flexible transitional measures has enabled many properties to obtain full legal standing.
Legal certainty drives investor confidence
Perhaps the most important outcome of these planning and legal improvements is renewed confidence in Marbella as a safe
and well-regulated place to invest. For many years, questions around planning irregularities dampened activity in certain sectors, but those concerns have now largely subsided.
Developers are once again engaging in long-term planning, international buyers are reassured by the city’s institutional direction, and legal professionals report a notable decline in title-related complications during property transactions.
The Marbella City Council reported record-breaking economic figures for 202543 with over 83,000 contributors to Social Security and the lowest unemployment rates in recent history. This figure rose to 85,400 contributors by July 31, 2025.

economy: Despite its modest size, Marbella punches far above its weight in the regional economy. With just 9% of the province’s population, it contributes 17% of the province’s 136,848 businesses.
“This significant business presence underscores Marbella’s role as a vibrant economic hub. Marbella is at a pivotal moment in its economic evolution. While high quality tourism, construction, and real estate remain foundational, the city is in the process of steadily diversifying. Growth in professional, technical, and consulting sectors signals a shift toward a more varied economic future, with these industries poised to play a central role in shaping Marbella’s trajectory.”
A great city is more than its homes, it is defined by the quality of its infrastructure, the foresight of its planning, and the harmony between urban life and the natural environment. Marbella has reached a point in its evolution where the demand for world-class real estate must be matched by intelligent,
moderate and sustainable growth, along with a world-class infrastructure. Although there is a lot of work to be done, the city is meeting this challenge with determination and vision.
In recent years, Marbella has undertaken several major infrastructure projects designed to improve the overall urban experience. Among the most notable:
• Pressure is mounting to eliminate tolls on the AP-7 motorway between Fuengirola and Sotogrande, a measure that would relieve strain on the coastal N-340 road. Although our direct, political sources inform us that this does not seem possible under the current national government, every effort should be made to continue to apply maximum pressure since the removal of this toll is the one factor which will substantially relieve congestion on the main coastal highway.
• The local government is already implementing practical solutions, such as the expansion of a third

lane between Puerto Banús and San Pedro, aimed at reducing bottlenecks during peak hours. The rebuilding and widening of the beginning of the road to Istan, the remodelling of Avenida del Trapiche, the expansion of cycling lanes and pedestrian walkways, are typical examples of the dozens of municipal infrastructure projects going on throughout Marbella. There are precisely 15 specific, important projects underway involving improvement of circulation within the municipality.45
• There is renewed political and public support for extending the coastal train line from Fuengirola to Marbella and Estepona, and eventually all the way to Algeciras. Marbella remains the only city in Spain with over 160,000 inhabitants without a train connection, a discrepancy that is widely recognised and actively being addressed. In May, 2025 funds were approved by the Ministry of Transportation to go to tender for a new study which will set objectives
and map out alternatives.46
• Málaga airport Extension: as the Costa del Sol continues to attract residents and investors from around the globe, ease of access becomes an indispensable factor. The surge in air tra c and proximity to the estimated limit of maximum number of travellers, has prompted the airport authority, AENA, to make plans for a new airport extension. On July 22, 2025 AENA announced that it is formally putting out to tender the project for almost doubling the size of the Málaga Airport, with the extension scheduled to be built starting in 2027 and finishing in 2031.47
Although 2025 brought muchneeded rainfall, water scarcity remains one of the most critical issues for the Costa del Sol. Fortunately, decisive steps are being taken to lessen dependence on traditional reservoirs.
Estepona is on the verge of completing its own desalination plant, a pioneering, containerised facility powered by solar energy

47. SUR in English: “Expansion process under way for close-tocapacity Málaga Airport to handle 36 million passengers a year.” July 30, 2025
The expansion of the Marbella desalination plant now enables it to produce double its former capacity, providing nearly one third of the water needed for the entire Costa del Sol, while simultaneously improving the e ciency of adjacent treatment plants that also process water from the La Concepción reservoir.48
Additional projects include a planned water treatment facility for Mijas, Fuengirola and Torremolinos; the expanded use of reclaimed water; and the renewal of dozens of municipal wells to reinforce supply, particularly for public gardens.
Estepona, in parallel, is on the verge of completing its own desalination plant, a pioneering, containerised facility powered by solar energy and designed to ensure near selfsu ciency in water supply for the municipality.
These advances are of profound importance for the property market, as the assurance of a sustainable and reliable water supply underpins
the long-term growth and resilience of the Costa del Sol — essential both for residents’ quality of life and for maintaining international confidence in Marbella.49
One of the strongest indicators of Marbella’s economic vitality is the scale and diversity of investment currently flowing into the city, both from public institutions and private enterprise. These investments signal more than capital expenditure, they reflect profound confidence in Marbella’s future.
The Marbella City Council, with a municipal budget in 2025 of €405,260,000has outlined a capital investment plan focused primarily on mobility, sustainability, and civic improvement.50
Key to this plan is the enhancement of Marbella’s green infrastructure, with new public parks and reforested

urban areas aiming to reduce heat-island e ects and improve environmental quality.
Cultural and educational facilities are also seeing renewed attention, with the modernisation of municipal libraries, the continued rehabilitation of Marbella’s historic Old Town, and a long-awaited expansion of the Hospital Costa del Sol. Financed in collaboration with the Andalusian regional government and due for completion by 2028, this expansion will enhance the healthcare capacity for residents and visitors alike.
Private sector momentum: luxury real estate, hospitality and health
On the private side, investment continues at an unprecedented scale, particularly in the luxury real estate and hospitality sectors. The hospitality sector, long a cornerstone of Marbella’s global appeal, is undergoing a renaissance. Over €250 million has been committed to new or extensive renovation of the five-star
hotels across Marbella and its immediate surroundings.51
Notable examples include the relaunch of the historic La Fonda Hotel under the Relais & Châteaux brand, the transformation of beachside hotels such as Los Monteros and El Fuerte, and new boutique concepts designed for high-end experiential travel.
Private investment is also flowing into healthcare and education, two pillars of Marbella’s infrastructure that are essential to attracting long-term residents. Several new international schools are being planned and many of the existing will be expanded.
Leading private clinics, particularly those specialising in wellness and longevity, are opening branches in the city, anticipating growing demand among a uent, healthconscious residents from across Europe and the Middle East, adding to the 20 hospitals and clinics already established within the municipality.

51. Sur in English: “Marbella sees 290-million-euro investment in new and refurbished hotels”, February 24, 2025
The message is both clear and inspiring: Marbella is thriving, not as a trend, but as a way of life. Billions of euros have been invested in Marbella. It has become a global benchmark for lifestyleoriented living and one of the most exclusive resort cities in the world. Marbella has matured, evolving into a long-term safe haven for capital, lifestyle, and legacy.
• The groundwork being laid today will ensure that the city continues to thrive, not only as a luxury destination but as a living model of what modern, human-centred development can look like
• For the discerning buyer or investor, this evolution adds depth to Marbella’s value proposition. It is no longer just about sea views or square metres; it is about being part of a city that is building for the future and in the process of exciting, natural diversification of its economy to include professional,
technical, and consulting sectors signalling a shift toward a more varied economic future outside the foundations of the hospitality and the real estate sectors.
• Challenges remain: Marbella’s well-earned title as Europe’s Best Destination in 2024 reflects its remarkable appeal, with both public and private sectors making notable strides to support this success, as outlined earlier. To fully live up to this prestigious accolade, Marbella must prioritise even more achieving a world-class level infrastructure and municipal services. While commendable efforts are underway, we believe greater focus, increased investment and attention to infrastructure, cleanliness, municipal gardens, and all public services are absolutely critical in order to meet the very high standards expected of a leading global destination. Sustained commitment to these priorities will ensure that Marbella will continue its positive evolution.
We believe greater focus, increased investment and attention to infrastructure, cleanliness, and all public services are absolutely critical in order to meet the very high standards expected of a leading global destination
• Policy clarity around the rental market is crucial to protect both yields and values, while the chronic shortage of supply demands pragmatic planning and professional execution. These are all solvable issues, but they require ambition, coordination, and follow-through from both public and private sectors.
• The Marbella-area real estate market continues to demonstrate resilience, driven by strong international demand, its exceptional lifestyle appeal, and a robust economic foundation. However, the official statistics, as discussed earlier, added to feedback from agents indicate sales volume, especially in the luxury category, aligning with 2024 levels, with buyers exhibiting greater discernment, taking longer to make decisions, and negotiating more assertively.
Additionally, a modest uptick in available resale properties in ultraprime areas like Puente Romano, combined with the various issues of the evolving regulations impacting short-term rentals, suggests the market is now entering a phase
of consolidation, a natural progression following the unprecedented post-pandemic activity.
This market maturation reflects a sophisticated buyer base, prioritising value and sustainability, which supports long-term growth. Marbella is poised to remain a sellers’ market for several years ahead, underpinned by limited supply and enduring global appeal, cementing its position as a premier destination for discerning investors and residents.
Far beyond luxury real estate, Marbella’s true foundations and real wealth extend beyond the material. They encompass a richness of experience, culture, health and community. And it is this unique energy that drives, and will continue to drive, Marbella’s growing lifestyle economy for decades to come.

For any company to achieve 55 years of business is a milestone, but to do so in the highly competitive Marbella property market is a true accomplishment indeed.
Article by Michel Cruz
Established in Marbella in 1970, Panorama Properties is much more than just a real estate agency. In more than half a century, it has not only surmounted the vicissitudes of time, experiencing both the good and leaner times, but has also in the process, chronicled the evolution of Marbella, becoming part of its very fabric.
The company is family owned, managed by Christopher Clover and his children Alex and Katinka, and is today comprised of a team of 30 professionals speaking twelve different languages among them.
Over half a century in Marbella real estate is an unequaled achievement, for Panorama is the longest-running agency in the region – and yet, the family’s link with real estate goes back even further, stretching four generations to the founding of the real estate agency B. B. Clover and Company in Chicago in 1904 by Chris’ grandfather Burtt Byron Clover.
B. B. Clover was also a property developer who in the 1920s built one of the first professional golf courses in the USA, in the suburbs of Chicago. The clubhouse and golf course of Itasca still stand proudly today, to his credit, along with many of the stylish half-timbered houses which he built surrounding the course: a testament to a philosophy of quality and service that has permeated through the generations to the present day, as it also forms the basis for Panorama’s own business ethos.
“The principles of Panorama are the family values of fair, honest and transparent dealing, as taught by my father to me and by his father to him. Any success we have had is thanks to following these principles carefully…as well as the great members of our team we have always been lucky to have

Here, Chris’s father, Williston ‘Bill’ Clover, continued the family business, establishing a highly successful real estate agency and property development firm that was involved in the sale of many of the most important historic homes and country estates in the area. Bill was also a nationally ranked tennis player in his youth, the tennis coach of the University of Virginia during the war, an architect, property developer and a specialist in the breeding and raising of Aberdeen Angus cattle.
It was in this setting that Chris and his brother, Bill, grew up. After graduating with distinction from the

University of Virginia with a degree in economics, commerce and French, Chris taught French for two years before joining the family business in 1971. Three years before in 1968, his father had acquired the Washington DC-based property agency Panorama International Ltd, as a means to market luxury international homes to American buyers. This led to the opening of the Marbella office in 1970, later followed by Mallorca and also Mexico City, established by Chris’s brother Bill.

When Chris arrived in Marbella in 1973 to head up the Marbella office, the town was still small and truly glamorous. The Marbella Club was in its heyday, attracting an international A-list clientele that included aristocrats, royalty, Hollywood stars and the cream of Spanish and European society. This much was evident at the inauguration party of Puerto Banús, also in 1970, which was attended by the likes of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly, the Aga Khan, José Banús and of course, Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe. A certain Julio Iglesias provided the live entertainment.

Panorama launches “The Marbella Property Magazine”. In addition to the award-winning Market Report, it contains other interesting articles both for buyers and sellers, as well as an excellent selection of properties.
Marbella, Panorama was also the first to hold ‘open houses’ for fellow agents, and would pioneer a great many other innovations that have since become common practice on the Costa del Sol. From the mid 70s Panorama was fortunate to sell many properties to well-known Middle Eastern personalities, including members of royal families. In 1977 Christopher became the property administrator for Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (now King Salman) and other prominent personalities of the Middle East, Including Akram Ojjeh, H.E Sheikh Kamal Adham and Khalid Mohamed Kanoo. However, the person who was most influential in helping Chris in his early years, was David Shamoon, Chris’s first administration client in 1974.
As the firm’s market expanded to also include new waves of British, Middle Eastern and European buyers, its reputation and place within Marbella was solidified to the point where Panorama became an integral part of the local community.
Even before 1980, Panorama was already a prominent name in Marbella real estate, and continues to be even more so as it celebrates its 55th anniversary. Operating from two offices on the prestigious Golden Mile, Panorama is involved in the listing, promotion and sale of many of the most important properties in this region, expanding its expertise to also include luxury rentals, commercial property and a special division dedicated to land acquisition and providing a bespoke service for both institutional and private investors.
The relationship forged with clients is at the heart of Panorama’s success, where Chris and his team
‘‘Over the years we have come across every real estate situation you can imagine, and we have become experts at solving problems when they come up.’’
have been involved in finding and managing properties on behalf of clients from around the world, managing the acquisition of an embassy building in Tokyo for the Foreign Ministry of Saudi Arabia, as well as transactions involving large tracts of land on the Costa del Sol and prime office premises in Madrid and London. The main focus of the business, however, has always been, and continues to be, marketing quality residential properties in the Marbella area.

so many wonderful people from around the world who come to Marbella, many of whom have become close friends,” says Chris. “We have had clients from well over 100 di erent countries, and have learned something from each of them.”
It is this passion, both for real estate and the personal relationships forged with clients, that forms the basis for Panorama’s longevity and dedication to professionalism. “It has been said of me that I am a stickler for precision and detail, but how else would it be possible to not only survive but prosper for 55 years in such a competitive industry as this?”
Chris’s penchant for clear and correct procedure is his clients’ guarantee in a process that involves not only excellent service but also a level of indepth technical and market knowledge that is the product of these years of experience. “Over the years we have come across every real estate situation you can imagine, and we have become experts at solving problems when they come up. We move very quickly and e ciently—and safely—on behalf of our clients and perform our own due diligence before taking a property for sale on our books, but we are not a ‘pushy’ sales agency. We are here for the long haul and strive to be a high quality, as well as highly qualified service company in every aspect of our work.”

in 2015, the largest real estate organisation in the world with 120,000 members in 140 different countries. As a result of this, the following year, Panorama became one of only two residential real estate agencies in Spain to be RICS regulated, which gives important guarantees of professional conduct to its buyer and seller clients.
In 2019, 2020 and 2021 the firm was awarded “Best Real Estate Agency in Spain” out of hundreds of applicants by the prestigious International Property Awards.
In 2024, Panorama was honoured at the SUR in English 40th-anniversary gala for its pioneering promotion of the qualities of Marbella and the Costa del Sol and service to the real estate sector for over 50 years. SUR in English, published by Diario SUR, is the leading news source for the Costa del Sol’s international community, making this recognition especially significant.

Record-breaking sales!
Panorama Properties achieved its highest number of sales since 1970, marking a milestone in over five decades of success.
In November 2024, Christopher Clover, was named “Business Leader of the Year” by CIT Marbella (Centro de Iniciativas Turísticas) the town’s leading business and professional association. The award, presented at the association’s annual gala, recognised his decades of dedication and lasting influence on Marbella’s luxury real estate market and invaluable contributions to the promotion of Marbella and quality tourism to the area.
Panorama also operates another real estate agency called Puente Romano Real Estate, the official real estate agency of the Puente Romano and Nobu Marbella hotels as part of their joint venture, giving their seller clients highly effective, direct exposure of their property listings to the hotel’s clients.
It is this pedigree that clients can count on when buying from or selling through Chris and his international, multilingual team. “We jealously protect our role as negotiators of the commercial elements of a property transaction and are very good at bringing the two parties together in harmony,” says Chris. “We work closely with other agents and colleagues, as well as learning from them, but we always seek to distinguish ourselves through the quality of our service and our e cacy. Through our experience and market research, resulting in our annual market report, we have become an authoritative source of information, o ering our clients hard market knowledge and statistics that are well documented and of great value to both buyers and sellers.”
Continuing the long-standing real estate tradition of the Clover family Chris’s children, Katinka and Alex, both born in Spain, joined the company after the turn of the century. Katinka, a graduate from the American University of Paris, and Alex, who

he Internet has become by far the most useful tool for those looking to buy properties and a net-based property search is usually the first step taken by any potential buyer. But, is it the right second step, once one sees a few desirable properties on several sites, to contact and make appointments with all the agents offering those properties, agents you don’t know or may not have even heard anything about, some of whom do not even identify themselves correctly on their sites?
Perhaps another option to consider, even while looking at everything on the net, might be to seek out as a first priority a really qualified, experienced agency to work with that has a large direct inventory of the kind of property you are looking for.
There are several great agents in Marbella to choose
from, many who have outstanding credentials, long experience, excellent product and area knowledge, and adhere strictly to the agents’ code of ethics. Additionally, choosing such an agent will assure that they pull out all the stops to spend plenty of time with you to get to know you and your special requirements as well as possible, sharing with you their market knowledge and recent comparable sales actually made, and who will eventually find just the right property for you. If it’s not in their own inventory they will go out and find that special property through their colleagues in other agencies on a commission-sharing basis.
Panorama always recommends that purchasers of property in Spain retain a qualified solicitor to represent them and also advise them on all tax issues. Once you have made a decision to purchase property

here, even though you may not have found that special property yet, establishing a relationship while you are in Marbella can be immensely useful if you start negotiating a purchase after returning to your country of residence, as it is clearly more difficult to choose a lawyer long distance.
Essential today to buying property in Spain is the compliance with AML (anti-money laundering) protocol, required for opening a bank account, engaging a lawyer, and agents as well, in order to identify you and prove the legal origin of the funds intended for the purchase. For European Union citizens this procedure is straightforward in most cases, but for Eastern European citizens or those from the Middle East the procedure can take, in some cases, many weeks. So, if you know you are going to be eventually buying a property it is good to get these matters out of the way sooner rather than later.
Having a lawyer, NIE number (a number issued to foreigners in Spain) in place, AML compliance in order, and bank account opened strengthens a buyer’s position when negotiating as he or she can put down an immediate deposit if an offer is accepted, since all the other details will have been taken care of already.
A good agent will also be immensely helpful to you in negotiating the purchase of a property you are interested in buying. It is important to remember that if your offer is too low it will not engage the interest of the seller, and might actually prove counter-
productive. An articulate offer will generally capture the attention of a vendor. We recommend getting all your points together, rather than negotiating “piecemeal.” Make your offer in writing if possible (of course, subject to contract). Points to include are not only the price, but also the deposit amount and when you are prepared to pay it, when you are prepared to complete the transaction, what you understand to be included in the price (for example furniture and fittings if applicable), and an often neglected point – that all technical equipment and installations should be in good working order. Also, if you have a second choice property you should advise the vendor of this fact.
Your lawyer can also be consulted during the negotiation to ensure that the terms of the offer meets his or her legal criteria, and on occasion will also become actively involved in more complex negotiations.
Actually purchasing a property in Spain is a relatively straightforward procedure. The “last word” in property ownership is the property registry, which will show immediately if the seller owns the property free of liens and encumbrances. Most frequently, unless an immediate payment of the full purchase price is made, a private contract of purchase is drawn up wherein the details of the purchase are reflected – the legal description of the property, purchase price, form of payment, date of completion and possession, etc. Upon signing the private contract, a payment on account is always made which can vary substantially according to the terms of the sale and the date of completion.
A quite normal deposit for completion within 30 to 60 days would be 10% of the agreed purchase price. New properties which are unfinished obviously are paid for over the construction period, and all payments on account before finishing must be guaranteed, according to LAW 38/1999, by a bank or insurance company: if the property is not finished by a certain date, a purchaser has the right to reclaim the monies paid, plus legal interests. Additionally, another law obliges the property developer to arrange a ten year insurance policy with respect to any basic building defects with the purchasers as beneficiaries.
When the entire purchase price is paid for the property, the seller will issue the public deed of conveyance (escritura) to the purchaser, free of liens and encumbrances. This deed, issued before a Spanish Notary, is passed from the notary to the tax office to be assessed for Transfer Tax if the property is a resale or second hand property, or assessed for Stamp Duty if the property is sold directly by the developer. It’s then presented to the Property Registry for inscription. A provisional inscription in the registry is made immediately upon issuance of the deeds.
As detailed in the table below, the total official costs involved in purchasing a constructed residential property should be around 10-11 % for resale properties or around 12 % for new properties if VAT is paid on the purchase price, plus lawyer’s fees.
Payable by the buyer for the purchase of any real estate (villas, flats, land, commercial premises, garages), provided the vendor is not a developer or normally trading in the business of resale properties (waiver to VAT exemption).
Reduced transfer tax for real estate companies or professionals that buy resale property and sell within 5 years.
Villas, apartments, or a garage that is annexed to an apartment or villa, where the vendor is a developer or habitual trader for brand-new properties.
Parcels of land, for the first sale of brand-new commercial premises or brand-new independent garages.
The cost increases according to the number of pages or complexity of the title deed, and value of the property.
This can be as little as a few hundred euros or as much as thousands on a property with a lot of land that has not changed hands in many years. It is a tax by the town hall based upon the increase in the index value of a property between the year of purchase to the year of sale. This tax corresponds, by its nature, to the vendor who is responsible for its payment, unless otherwise negotiated.
These are in the order of 1 % of the selling price, more or less, depending on the lawyer and the price of the property.

Marbella is not a big city like London, Madrid or New York with a captive market within 50 kilometres of the centre. Instead, it’s a small city with a mostly secondary housing market and a buying public spread out all over Europe and the world – a subtle but important nuance.
Most buyers are not looking for a primary residence here, but a second or even third home. This makes Marbella real estate less of a need and more of a luxury in which people are not drawn to property close to centres of work but to the quality of life a property can offer them. As a result, one characteristic of a secondary housing market is that especially luxurious properties can take a longer time to sell, though in our experience this is considerably shorter where both buyer and seller are serious in their intent.

This brief article is intended to share some essential points about selling properties, based on our own experience of 55 years of selling properties in Marbella
If you want to sell your property, call us on (+34) 952 774 266 or email: listings@panorama.es
The most important thing to establish is a sales strategy, at the heart of which is the asking price. In other words, if you ask too much for your property, people will not bother to view and it will linger unseen. Ask too little for your property, and you are potentially throwing away money.
The right asking price is perhaps the most essential ingredient in the art of selling real estate and is the result of thorough market research. Do not opt for the figure you would like to hear, find out the true market value, taking into consideration: what sales of comparable properties have been accomplished, and at what price? What are other owners with similar properties asking?
The more unique a property, the more an owner can ask for it and the stronger they can negotiate when trying to seal a deal. The less unique a property,
the more the owners are going to have to resign themselves to the fact that there is a large supply of similar properties, and that they will have to price it competitively.
One thing to avoid, if you intend to use agents to market your property, is listing on a net basis, where you want a fixed sum with the agent’s commission added on top. You can end up with a property marketed at several different prices, leading to confusion among potential buyers. Wise sellers will form a team with their agents and protect their agents’ commission, as they too expect to be protected and advised by their agents, and fix one sole asking price for the property, inclusive of commission.
Should you give an exclusive sales agreement to an agent? If you are an absentee owner, or if you don’t feel like playing a co-ordination role among various agents, granting exclusivity to a leading agent can make your life a lot easier. It also provides the agency in question with the confidence to fully dedicate its energy and resources to the marketing and promotion of the property.
A professional agency will propose a coordinated strategy based on its experience and adapted to the specifics of your property. This will include the creation of quality marketing material and targeted promotional campaigns.
A responsible agent will try to avoid taking a sole agency unless they sincerely feel that the asking price is correct and that they are truly capable of selling the property within the time frame allocated by the seller.
Providing agents you trust with easy access to the home is important in order not to lose potential buyers, though a good agent will screen interested parties first. They will also offer advice on how best to present the property for viewings and approach the negotiation process.
The standard agency fee in a resort area such as Marbella is 5% plus VAT, which covers the marketing, promotion, and listing of properties and the arranging of viewings, follow-up with prospective buyers, property searches, providing background information and support throughout the buying process and beyond. Agents don’t give keys out to clients, they always show properties personally and will spend a great deal of time to find the right buyer.
First impressions count. When agents take clients to view your property, ensure that curtains and shutters are open to let lots of light flood the property.
Check your agent’s website to see how your property is presented, in terms of the photographs, the description and the accuracy of the information provided. While photography should be representative, it should also present your property as well as it can, enthusing potential buyers. To stand out from the crowd you may need professional images, especially indoors.
If there are any small repairs or repainting that would enhance the overall appeal of the property, it’s well worth getting this work done now to eliminate any small ‘objection factors’. Also, make sure your home is spotless for photography and viewings alike.
This always results in enquiries. Many potential buyers drive around different residential areas before going to an agent. Without a sign, they wouldn’t know your property is for sale. Not allowing a sign to be placed
‘‘While photography should be representative, it should also present your property as well as it can, enthusing potential buyers. To stand out from the crowd you may need professional images, especially indoors. ’’
Selling one’s property is an art
The property market in Marbella has always been competitive and sellers with less experience will achieve far better results if they take advice from experienced professionals.
is to block one of the many proven paths for reaching the market place. Our experience is that signs still help significantly in selling properties.
Facilitate viewings on as short a notice as possible. If you leave your keys with a neighbour who plays golf three times a week, you are losing a vital chance to show the property at the client’s convenience.
Bear in mind that the first properties that agents tend to show are the ones for which they have the keys. Properties that need appointments to be set up in advance will generally be shown less.
Make sure that you are fully aware of your tax obligations when you put your property on the market. Meet with your lawyer and tax advisor, and find out your options to ensure there are no surprises when you enter into negotiations.
Let your agent form a team with you in handling negotiations, checking points with your lawyer and tax advisor when necessary. This is your agent’s job and one of the reasons you pay the agency’s
fee, and experienced real estate professionals are generally far better at negotiating the commercial points of a deal than lawyers. Once this is accomplished, your lawyer should take the lead role (in coordination with your agent), draft the sales contract and supervise the completion of the sale. If you are frequently travelling, it can often make sense to leave a Power of Attorney enabling your lawyer to sign a private contract on your written instructions. You can negotiate the details of the sale with your agent by telephone and email, and your lawyer can then take the ‘first step’ towards the sale by signing a private contract without delay.
Don’t allow yourself to be pressured by your agent or anyone else to accept an offer! A good agent will simply point out your options and offer advice based on their experience, but once you decide to proceed it is good not to waste time and risk losing the buyer.
In summary, selling a property can be as easy or as complicated as any task involving one’s personal affairs. Competent, honest, professional help from agents, lawyers and tax advisors can go a long way to help you manage your sale objectively and easily.
Is the buyer expecting a counter offer from you or have they given you a oneand-only, take-it-or-leave-it offer?
Do they have other properties in mind? Is their offer a fair one?
Are all details included in the offer – price, target contract date, deposit, completion date, an understanding of what is included in the sale in the form of fixtures, fittings and furniture, etc.?
All these items should be agreed upon at the outset before lawyers are instructed.
“My property has been on the market for months and I’m hardly getting any viewings.”
The only time this might be considered to be normal is if your property would only be of interest to a small crosssection of buyers or, if it is overpriced. If neither applies, your property is not getting enough market exposure. Our advice: speak to your agent or seek the advice of another well-established agency with a good reputation. An accurately priced and marketed property should be getting a regular stream of clients viewing it.
“All the clients that agents bring to my property are time-wasters.”
Are they really? If you are getting lots of viewings and no offers on your property, chances are your property is not as unique as you’d like to think it is. It likely needs to be reduced in price or perhaps you could consider making market-driven renovations in order to increase its appeal. And always remember, selling a property in many ways is a numbers game. The more people who view it, the better chance there is of one of them falling in love with the property and buying it.
“I really need to sell my property NOW.”
If you need to sell your property quickly, you need to be prepared to price it at a heavy discount when compared to similar properties on the market. This is when you need a very knowledgeable agent working for you who can suggest the price that will achieve the sale.
“How much negotiation room should I build into my asking price?”
With the help of your agent we recommend pricing the property taking into consideration not only similar asking prices, but also prices at which similar properties have actually sold. Many buyers are very knowledgeable today and will recognize a realistically-priced property, but bear in mind that few will want to pay the full asking price, so leave some room for negotiation.

Marbella has long been a byword for glamour, exclusivity, and Mediterranean living at its most refined. Yet even in a city that thrives on reinvention, few projects have captured the imagination quite like Design Hills Marbella by Dolce&Gabbana. This bold new development, perched above Marbella’s legendary Golden Mile, is more than a residential project — it is the meeting of haute couture and high-end architecture, bringing the signature creativity of Dolce&Gabbana into a permanent Mediterranean address.
A vision of lifestyle, not just property
In the last decade, the rise of branded residences has redefined luxury real estate across the world. From Miami to Dubai, the world’s leading designers and hospitality groups have paired their name with residences that go far beyond bricks and mortar, offering curated lifestyle experiences. Design Hills Marbella is the most ambitious interpretation of this concept in southern Europe, and Dolce&Gabbana’s first foray into residential design in Spain.
Even in a city that thrives on reinvention, few projects have captured the imagination quite like Design Hills Marbella by Dolce&Gabbana
Branded residences are one of the fastest-growing trends in global real estate, combining the prestige of world-renowned names with architectural innovation and five-star services. For buyers, they offer both confidence and cachet: a home that is as much a statement of design as it is a lifestyle investment.
In Marbella, these projects are reshaping the market, as international brands and leading developers collaborate to set new benchmarks in style, exclusivity, and modern Mediterranean living.
The partnership makes intuitive sense. Dolce& Gabbana, a brand synonymous with Italian artistry, Mediterranean heritage, and contemporary glamour, finds a natural home in Marbella. The development promises not only cutting-edge design and architecture, but also the intangible quality that defines both the brand and the city: la dolce vita.
The Golden Mile, redefined
The location could not be more fitting. Rising gently above Marbella’s famous Golden Mile, the residences enjoy uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar, and the coast of Africa on clear days. Yet they are only minutes away from Puente Romano, Marbella Club, and the fine dining, boutiques, and nightlife that have cemented this stretch of coastline as one of the world’s most desirable addresses.
Here, the balance between privacy and proximity is delicately struck. Residents are cocooned in an elevated natural setting, with landscaped gardens and modern architecture that blends seamlessly into the hillside, while the glamour of Marbella remains on their doorstep.
Architecture with a couture sensibility
What sets Design Hills Marbella apart is not only its scale but also its aesthetic vision. The development consists of terraced residences and apartments designed with flowing, organic lines that echo the natural slope of the land. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood interiors with light, framing endless panoramas of sea and sky.
Every detail, from the selection of natural materials to the fluidity of the living spaces, reflects the couture philosophy of Dolce&Gabbana, a marriage of tradition and innovation, precision and artistry. Just as a tailored garment enhances the individual, these residences are designed to elevate daily life into an experience of beauty and ease.
Every detail, from the selection of natural materials to the fluidity of the living spaces, reflects the couture philosophy of Dolce&Gabbana
The interiors carry the unmistakable imprint of Dolce&Gabbana Casa, the design line that translates the brand’s fashion DNA into furniture, textiles, and homewares. Expect bold patterns, rich textures, and a celebration of Mediterranean colour palettes, but always balanced with modern refinement. Kitchens, lounges, and bedrooms are more than functional spaces: they are stage sets for a life of elegance, comfort, and effortless entertaining.
Customisation is a key element. Owners are able to select from curated design packages, each reflecting a different facet of Dolce&Gabbana’s world, from timeless Sicilian romance to sleek contemporary glamour. The result is a collection of homes as individual as their owners, yet unified by a sense of identity and prestige.
Design Hills Marbella has been conceived not merely as a place to live but as a private resort. The development incorporates exclusive amenities that rival those of a five-star hotel: multiple infinity pools, a private members’ club, wellness spa, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, coworking lounges, and fine dining venues infused with Dolce&Gabbana’s signature style.
Residents will also benefit from dedicated concierge services, ensuring that every need — from private chefs to yacht charters — can be seamlessly arranged. In every detail, the ethos is one of curated living, where convenience and luxury are indistinguishable.

This luxury oasis is strategically located between the mountains and the Mediterranean coastline, offering its residents panoramic views from every angle.
A unique project, with it's design inspired by Automobili Lamborghini, an architectural prodigy brought to life by DarGlobal.

It is a project of 53 spectacular homes with three different villa types, with four, five and six bedrooms on plots of between 1,000 and 2,881 square-metres.
Carefully constructed at different levels on the hills, the villas enjoy views of the sea, mountains and golf courses. There is 24hour security, video surveillance and a full concierge service. Homes have fully furnished and equipped kitchens, pools, cinema, SPA with sauna and Turkish bath, multipurpose room, elevator and wine cellar.
Puente Romano is in the very centre of the Golden Mile, midway between Puerto Banús and Marbella, and is Marbella’s most exclusive residential area. It comprises the famous five-star hotel, the Nobu Hotel, Puente Romano Phase II, Marina Puente Romano, and Las Terrazas de Puente Romano.
Puente Romano Marbella is a five star, Grand Lux
Leading Hotel of the World and offers an extensive area of low-rise luxury accommodation, spread out on both sides of large, sub-tropical gardens, which offer 400 species of plants from five continents. The hotel itself has 287 “keys” most of which are large studios, or one-bedroom suites. Some of the privately-owned apartments come onto the market from time to time. When they do, they are usually snapped up in a month or two
Puente Romano Phase II is located directly in front of the reception of the Nobu Hotel and borders the eastern boundary. It has 78 one and two bedroom apartments, located in several blocks in the form of a “horseshoe” around beautiful pools and gardens. These apartments are larger than those of the hotel and also enjoy the benefits of a very well-
maintained community.
Marina Puente Romano is adjacent to the hotel to the west and totals 234 apartments, divided into 3 different styles of gardens: Andalusian Gardens with 72 apartments, Persian Gardens with 84 apartments, and Japanese Gardens with 78 apartments. In many people’s opinion, it is the best located beachside/beachfront estate in Marbella.
Las Terrazas De Puente Romano is perfectly positioned right behind the Japanese Gardens of Marina Puente Romano, to the west of the tennis club, an easy walk to the beach. It offers spacious apartments and spectacular penthouses with breathtaking views across the sea.

Marbella’s Golden Mile starts at the western edge of Marbella and extends for some five kilometres as far as the Río Verde, which is just before Puerto Banús, and stretches up to La Concha mountain, which gives Marbella its special micro-climate.
The term “Golden Mile” was coined in the early 1980’s by Roy Boston, the German singer turned successful property developer, who had an untimely death in the late 1980’s, and for whom a road has been named near his prize-winning development Alhambra del Mar, on the edge of Marbella city.
Marbella’s Golden Mile starts at the western edge of Marbella and extends for some five kilometres as far as the Río Verde, which is just before Puerto Banús, and stretches up to La Concha mountain, which gives Marbella its special micro-climate. It was given its name due to the numerous beautiful estates and establishments within this area, including the Marbella Club Hotel, and the many beachside mansions adjacent to it, where the origins of quality tourism in Marbella began in 1954;
the Puente Romano resort; and beautiful urbanisations such as Cascada de Camoján, Marbella Sierra Blanca, Las Lomas del Marbella Club, the development of the Bismarck family, known as the Marbella Hill Club, and Rocío de Nagüeles.
Individual estates include many of the most magnificent mansions in Marbella, not the least of which are the Palaces of the late King Fahad and his brother, King Salman bin Abdel Aziz. Also located along the Golden Mile are Panorama’s two offices, one in Puente Romano Marbella and the other just opposite the Marbella Club Hotel.
