Marbella in Spain is home to several of Europe’s most acclaimed golf courses. For sun seekers who enjoy time on the green and are seeking a new residence, golf properties in Marbella are an excellent choice.
With this in mind, here’s Beluxe Properties’ guide to real estate in Marbella’s top golf resorts.
Why buy a golf villa in Marbella?
Golf properties in the Costa del Sol are renowned for offering luxurious living and are the perfect type of home for golf lovers who crave fun in the sun. Golf villas in Marbella offer the following benefits:
- Golf on your doorstep – There are no booking fees, no travel and no hassle. You just step out of your home and start putting.
- Security and privacy – Many golf-gated communities have controlled access, meaning your home remains secure throughout the year.
- Community feel – Many buy golf resort properties in Marbella as there’s already a social infrastructure built in, meaning people are surrounded by other golf enthusiasts at similar life stages.
- Marbella lifestyle – Exclusive beach clubs, high-end restaurants, prestigious international schools and Malaga Airport are all within reach.
Marbella’s top golf communities
Nueva Andalucía – The Golf Valley
Nueva Andalucia is known locally as the Golf Valley as it’s home to five major golf courses: Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, Aloha Golf Club, La Quinta, and Los Arqueros, the first course designed by Severiano Ballesteros.
This area sits above Puerto Banus, meaning residents here get the golf lifestyle with easy access to the marina, with its premium fine dining and boutiques.
Properties here range between around €800k to €10m.
La Zagaleta – Private Retreat
Looking for a golf villa on a private, coveted estate in the hills above Benahavis? La Zagaleta offers exclusive golf clubs and courses, including La Zagaleta Golf Club.
Access to the old course is strictly reserved for residents of La Zagaleta and their guests.
If exclusivity is what you crave, a golf home here in this elite postcode is the perfect match – properties typically start at around €3.5m and reach €30m and above.
Benahavis – Home to Established Golf Communities
Nestled in the hills between the Mediterranean Sea and mountains, Benahavis is more removed from bustling Marbella, without being too far away from the city.
There are numerous golf courses located here, including Los Flamingos, Marbella Club Golf Resort, and La Quinta, which attracts residential memberships rather than resort visitors.
Plots are larger, and properties are set further apart – Golf villas here typically range between €1.5m to €4m and apartments from €350,000.
Sotogrande – Golf-First Buyers
Sotogrande is the ultimate residential golf estate for serious golfers. It’s home to Real Club Valderrama, which hosted the Ryder Cup in 1997 and remains the benchmark course in Europe.
The golf community here is much quieter than the Golf Valley and more self-contained, offering peace, space and security above the liveliness of Puerto Banus.
You can expect property prices here to range from €1m to €10m and above.
