A luxury villa in Spain: the most exclusive addresses
Above € 1.5 million, the Costa del Sol becomes a small, discreet market with a handful of addresses that carry real weight internationally. In Marbella, these are the Golden Mile with Puente Romano and the Marbella Club Hotel, the secure hillsides of Sierra Blanca, Nagüeles and Cascada de Camoján, and beach villas in Guadalmina Baja and Los Monteros.
Benahavís is home to La Zagaleta and El Madroñal, gated estates offering the utmost privacy, as well as Los Flamingos and La Quinta. Estepona offers beach villas on the New Golden Mile and golf villas in El Paraíso. Further west, the most tranquil prestige addresses are Sotogrande Alto, around Valderrama, and the Finca Cortesín estate in Casares.
What creates value in this segment
In the prestige segment, location, privacy, views, a south-facing orientation and architecture count for more than square metres. New designer villas with wellness facilities, home automation and staff quarters are in high demand, but an established seafront plot or one in a top estate usually holds its value best. Many homes in this segment are sold discreetly, away from public listings. So if you're buying at this level, it pays to look beyond what's online and to hear about new properties early.
Buying discreetly and carefully
A purchase in this segment calls for thorough groundwork: building and occupation licences, legality of every volume, a technical survey, annual costs of the estate, staff and maintenance, and tax planning with your adviser. Visits to closed estates such as La Zagaleta are by appointment only. We work in a small, personal way and also show you homes that are not publicly marketed.
