Given the all-important consideration of location, people the world over begin their serious property search by defining their preferred setting. In many places this is related to proximity to work, schools and other practical considerations, but in a lifestyle destination such as Marbella the search for a new home centres upon the views, amenities and joy it can offer.
For this reason, the ultimate Marbella property location has long since been a beachfront setting, and it is unlikely that this will change anytime soon.
