Penthouses for sale in Sierra Blanca
Marbella's gated ultra-prime hillside enclave.
About Sierra Blanca
Sierra Blanca is a fully gated residential urbanisation built into the hillside above the Golden Mile, with 24-hour security and panoramic sea views. It is one of the very few addresses in Marbella where buyers can find large modern villas with full privacy within minutes of the beach. The combination of security, views and proximity to central Marbella has made it a benchmark address for ultra-high-net-worth international buyers.
Typical price range: €3M – €25M
- 24-hour gated security
- Panoramic sea views
- 5 min to the beach
- Ultra-prime addresses
Penthouses in Sierra Blanca, what to expect
Penthouses sit at the top of the apartment market and combine the convenience of communal living with the privacy of large private terraces, panoramic views and frequently a private plunge pool. They are particularly sought after for their open-air entertaining space and tend to hold value better than standard apartments in the same building.
Penthouse stock in Sierra Blanca is genuinely scarce, typically the top floor of the mid-rise complexes around Sierra Blanca gates, Cascada de Camoján and La Concha trailhead, with large wrap-around terraces and hillside positions deliver panoramic sea views across the entire golden mile coastline.
Premium long-let and short-let demand from senior expatriates and family offices. The segment sits at the very top of the Marbella price curve, and strictly limited, fewer than 250 villas inside the gates and turnover is amongst the lowest of any marbella urbanisation.

What is the price range for penthouses in Sierra Blanca?
Penthouses in Sierra Blanca fall within the wider area range of €3M – €25M, with the strongest pricing concentrated around Sierra Blanca gates. The area sits at the very top of the Marbella price curve, so a penthouse here is priced against that benchmark, not against the wider Costa del Sol average.
How much off-market activity is there for penthouses in Sierra Blanca?
Strictly limited, fewer than 250 villas inside the gates and turnover is amongst the lowest of any Marbella urbanisation.

What does a typical penthouse in Sierra Blanca look like?
Large modern and Andalusian-style villas on plots of 1,500–4,000 m², with strict architectural controls inside the urbanisation. For penthouses specifically, that translates into stock that reflects Sierra Blanca's character rather than generic Costa del Sol product, 5 minutes by car down to the Golden Mile beachfront, with hillside positions deliver panoramic sea views across the entire golden mile coastline.
Who is buying penthouses in Sierra Blanca right now?
Ultra-high-net-worth international buyers prioritising security, views and walkability to the Golden Mile in equal measure. For penthouses, that buyer mix tends to keep demand resilient through the off-season as well as the summer peak.
Can foreigners buy a penthouse in Sierra Blanca?
Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign buyers purchasing a penthouse in Sierra Blanca or anywhere else in Spain. You will need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account. Budget approximately 10–13% of the purchase price on top of the headline figure (7% ITP on resale or 10% VAT + 1.2% Stamp Duty on new-build, plus notary, registry and legal fees).
Are penthouses in Sierra Blanca a good rental investment?
Premium long-let and short-let demand from senior expatriates and family offices. For penthouses, that translates into licensed VFT short-let yields typically in the 5–7% gross range for well-located stock (with proximity to Marbella Golf (10 min) a meaningful driver of winter occupancy). Long-let yields run closer to 4–5%.
