Set along the sprawling sands of the Costa del Sol, Marbella is a glitzy, glamorous resort that's a regular haunt of the rich and famous. The fame and fortune peaks along the Golden Mile, a lengthy strip of top-notch clubs, restaurants, and luxury hotels that run alongside the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean. It's not just sumptuous charm that Marbella oozes, though. In fact, it boasts an incredible natural landscape, too, surrounded by the beautiful Sierra Blanca mountains and centred around a historic old town. The resort's rich history is woven through many eras and reigns, and, during the Moorish times, it was the most important hub along this stretch of the Spanish coastline. Join the glamorous set with our apartments in Marbella and soak up the glitzy lifestyle that goes hand in hand with this part of the Costa del Sol.
Marbella is a popular destination for sun-seekers, with a whole host of glistening beaches perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Nagueles Beach is the most popular, situated on the Golden Mile.
