BUYERS looking for a property in Spain have a wealth of jaw-dropping properties to choose from on the Costa del Sol, and in particular, the shining coastal city of Marbella. Boasting beautiful blue waters, idyllic mountains and hills, and charming white houses that enamour even the most critical of holidaymakers, it’s no surprise that Marbella has become a hotspot not only on the Costa del Sol, but in the whole of Spain, for its booming luxury real estate market. Marbella, unbothered by a global slowdown In the first half of the year, despite a global stalling in property activity, the luxury real estate market on the Costa del Sol and particularly in Marbella has remained strong. In fact, the real estate market in Marbella has doubled in the last seven years, and the city outperforms the national average by more than double. Championed by strong foreign demand, much of which comes from interested Brits, Marbella has become an exclusive property hotspot, with fewer, but higher quality, options for a high-class holiday. Not only this, Marbella is a strategic hub for investors, not just for those looking for a home for personal use. Transaction volumes in the first half of 2025 surpassed the 2024 figures and cemented an ongoing upward trend for the real estate on the Costa del Sol, in both sales and prices. From nightclubs to beach clubs, Marbella has it all Buyers are drawn to Marbella due to several factors: the quality of life, the security, the international connectivity and desirability, and the strong advancement and professionalism of the real estate sector. Its leaps forward and continuous growth make it a standout spot in the whole of the European luxury market. Marbella is also particularly privileged when it comes to the social scene. With a reputation for wonderful golfing tourism, plenty of celebrities, a bright nightlife, to-die-for gastronomy, and bask-worthy beaches, the city is an example of how good the Mediterranean lifestyle can get. Few available properties, with buyers scrambling for a chance Despite being a main protagonist of the Costa del Sol’s real estate market, Marbella actually has a shortage of available properties, mainly due to the exclusivity of its locations and the high demand. While this can present a challenge for buyers, it reinforces the value of the existing properties and gives an even more exclusive air to what are already stunning luxury homes. International demand continues to be the main propeller of the luxury real estate market in Marbella: buyers from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and other Nordic countries take the lead in interest for the shining gem of a city. Marbella’s Golden Mile, an area on the westernmost side of the city, continues to offer world-class amenities, a lush Mediterranean lifestyle, and an air of wealth and luxury among the most elite of Spanish properties. Other famed luxury areas in Marbella include Nueva Andalucia, Las Chapas, and El Rosario. Marbella likely to continue its upward trend In coming years, experts and those interested in the real estate sector predict a continued positive trajectory for the Costa del Sol’s sphere, and particularly for Marbella’s market. As a premium international destination, Marbella continues to grow, expand, and shine among the rest with its stunning properties and nigh-unbeatable location.
