Beachfront villas in Guadalmina with mature gardens and Mediterranean views

Property for Sale in Guadalmina

Last updated:

Guadalmina sits on the western edge of the Marbella municipality between San Pedro de Alcántara and the Estepona border, and is divided into two distinct halves: Guadalmina Baja, a beachfront residential area with two 18-hole golf courses and some of the largest plots in Marbella; and Guadalmina Alta, an inland residential community with strong family appeal. It is one of the most established residential addresses on the western Costa del Sol and offers a level of space, mature gardens and beach access that newer developments cannot replicate.

Why buyers choose Guadalmina

Guadalmina Baja is one of the very few addresses on the western Costa del Sol where buyers can find frontline-beach villa plots above 2,000 m² with mature gardens, most of the plots were laid out in the 1960s and 1970s and the area has retained its low-density residential character. The two on-site golf courses (Guadalmina Sur and Norte) provide a year-round residential community feel, and the proximity to San Pedro and the Boulevard San Pedro pedestrian park gives the area a level of walkability that pure villa enclaves cannot match.

Guadalmina Alta, inland from the AP-7, is a quieter family-orientated community, popular with full-time residents and families with children at the nearby international schools.
