The areas of Marbella
Apartments in Marbella: which area suits you?
In Marbella an apartment almost always comes within a development with gardens, a pool and often a concierge. If you want to do everything on foot, look at Marbella town centre and the marina area, with the old town, beach and restaurants all within walking distance. The Golden Mile and Puerto Banús offer prestige and frontline beaches, at the highest prices. Nueva Andalucía is the golf valley, with large terraces and many newer complexes, popular with families thanks to Aloha College. To the east, Elviria, Cabopino and Los Monteros offer calm, dunes and more greenery.
San Pedro de Alcántara is a genuine Spanish town with a new boulevard and seafront promenade, and feels less touristy. For a penthouse with sea views, it pays to search the hillsides of Sierra Blanca, Nagüeles or Los Altos de los Monteros.
Prices, new build and what to check
According to idealista, the average asking price in Marbella was €5,967 per m² in September 2026, up 3.2% on a year earlier. The spread is wide: the Golden Mile stood at €8,331, Nueva Andalucía at €6,214, while San Pedro (€4,649) and Elviria-Cabopino (€4,676) give noticeably more space for your money. New builds are concentrated in Nueva Andalucía, east Marbella and San Pedro, with modern layouts and big terraces. Resale apartments are often more central and closer to the beach.
When buying, check the community fees and what they cover, the orientation of the terrace, whether the parking space and storage are included in the nota simple, and whether holiday letting is permitted in the building. A tourist rental licence is compulsory in Andalusia and not every community allows it.
Frequently asked questions

The average was €5,967 per m² in September 2026 (idealista). On average €500,000 buys around 80 to 85 m², noticeably more in San Pedro or Elviria and much less on the Golden Mile.
Where can I buy a beachside apartment in Marbella?

Is a Marbella apartment a good rental investment?
Rental demand is strong all year, but short lets require a tourist licence and the community must allow them. Long lets are simpler and steadier. We are happy to look at the yield building by building with you.
