Frequently asked questions
What is the price range for luxury properties in Marbella Old Town?

Marbella Old Town as a whole is positioned in the mid-market band, well-located but materially below the Golden Mile, and the luxury property segment sits at the top of that band, concentrated around Plaza de los Naranjos and Paseo Marítimo.
Are luxury properties in Marbella Old Town a good investment?
Year-round short-let demand is high, the character premium drives strong nightly rates relative to size. On capital growth, the luxury property segment in Marbella Old Town has historically outperformed the wider area because supply is structurally limited and demand is reinforced by the golf catchment around Marbella Golf (10 min). Investors typically combine the rental yield with a 3–5 year hold to benefit from the area's compounding price curve.
How tight is supply for luxury properties in Marbella Old Town?
Townhouse stock inside the historic core is genuinely scarce; small-scale apartments turn over more regularly.
