Property for Sale in Marbella

Marbella is one of the most established luxury property markets in Europe, with 27 km of coastline, more than 300 days of sun per year and a property market that ranges from sub-€300K apartments to €30M+ trophy estates. Average asking prices in Marbella reached approximately €5,410/m² in 2025, an all-time high and up roughly 9% year-on-year, with demand from international buyers continuing to outpace supply across most segments.

Why buyers choose Marbella

Marbella offers a combination that is structurally hard to replicate: year-round sun, world-class infrastructure (international schools, healthcare, restaurants, beach clubs), the densest concentration of golf courses in continental Europe, and a 50-year track record as the prime address for international buyers from across Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. The international community spans more than 150 nationalities, and the year-round expat population (rather than purely seasonal) is what supports the depth of services, schools, healthcare, restaurants, that newer destinations cannot match.

The Marbella municipality contains a broad spread of distinct sub-markets: the prime Golden Mile and gated Sierra Blanca; the family-and-golf Nueva Andalucía; the marina lifestyle of Puerto Banús; the historic Old Town; and the quieter beaches and larger plots of Marbella East.

Types of property in Marbella

Apartments represent the largest segment by volume, across every area and price bracket. Penthouses with private terraces are particularly sought after, commanding 25–50% premia over equivalent apartments.

Villas are the trophy segment, from contemporary new-builds to classic Andalusian estates with mature gardens. Townhouses offer family layouts at meaningfully lower price points than detached villas. New developments are concentrated on the eastern side of the municipality and along the New Golden Mile, with off-plan stock typically delivering 18–30 months from contract.

Málaga international airport handles 23 million passengers per year and is 40–50 minutes from Marbella via the AP-7; AVE high-speed rail at Málaga connects to Madrid in 2.5 hours.
