Property for Sale in Marbella East

Marbella East covers the 12 km of coastline from central Marbella eastwards towards Cabopino and includes Elviria, Las Chapas, Hacienda Las Chapas, El Rosario and Río Real. The area is characterised by larger plots, mature pine forests and some of the best beaches in the entire Marbella municipality. €/m² values run roughly 30–45% below the Golden Mile for comparable villa quality, which is why Marbella East has become the default choice for full-time families seeking space without leaving the Marbella postcode.

Why buyers choose Marbella East

Marbella East is genuinely quieter and more residential than central Marbella, most areas are single-family-villa zoning with mature gardens, and the beaches (Elviria, Cabopino, Las Chapas) are consistently rated among the best in Andalucía. The mature pine forests of Las Chapas are a registered protected zone, which has limited density and preserved the character of the area in a way that newer-built developments further west cannot match.

The trade-off is a slightly longer drive to Puerto Banús (15–25 minutes) and the Golden Mile. For families and full-time residents this is rarely a concern, the area has its own commercial infrastructure (La Cañada shopping centre, multiple supermarkets, several international schools).

Types of property in Marbella East

Villas dominate the market, typically four to six bedrooms on plots of 800–3,000 m² with mature gardens and private pools. Apartments are concentrated in beachfront complexes (Los Monteros, Marbella East beachfront developments) and resort-style golf urbanisations.

Penthouses in beachfront complexes offer some of the best value-per-view in the Marbella municipality. Townhouses are common in family-orientated golf developments such as Santa María and Río Real. New developments are increasingly active along the eastern stretch, with several large-scale projects under construction in the Elviria and Las Chapas corridors.

La Cañada shopping centre, the largest in Marbella, sits at the western edge of the area; Málaga airport is 30–35 minutes via the A-7 (10 minutes closer than central Marbella).
