Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol, on the south coast of Spain, is one of the most mature residential markets in the overseas sector. It is an old favourite that still offers value for money. It has a very special character: shops, international schools, restaurants, entertainment and sports facilities run all year round.

The Costa del Sol stretches almost from Gibraltar in the south towards Matril in the north. With over 90% of the land still green, it's hard to describe the Costa del Sol as anything other than an area of natural beauty. A ribbon of luxury development runs from east to west along the coast. Against a backdrop of mountains and forested slopes, the developments or 'urbanizaciones' are punctuated by sandy beaches, world-famous marinas, shopping centres and championship golf-courses. The area is connected by a modern motorway network with the international airport at Malaga, its capital city, which retains much of its Moorish and Spanish feel.

Within the Costa del Sol, the most popular and expensive location is undoubtedly Marbella with its famous marina of Puerto Banus and 'Golf Valley' close by. Further along the coast are Mijas, Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola, which all well established resorts with a large foreign community. Travel past Malaga and the coast becomes more tranquil. The scenery inland can be quite spectacular.

South of Estepona there has been far less construction. This stretch of coast has become known as the Costa del Golf: there are many dedicated golf resorts, and Sotogrande's Valderrama Golf Club is a world championship course.

The Costa del Sol is an ideal choice for the international property buyer. It continues to expand; the population is expected to increase by a further 50% over the next decade, so rental opportunities are good, and properties purchased here are expected to show soild capital growth.

We can help you choose from over 120 new apartments and town-house projects along the coast throughout the Costa del Sol that vary in architectural style, views and on-site facilities. In most developments communal swimming pools come as standard and some have additional leisure facilities. There is a wide choice of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom layouts. We also offer a wide choice of resale apartments and town-houses throughout the area.
