The Costa del Sol’s Golden Triangle – a most desirable location

Marbella has long held a fascination for celebrities and the international jetset, originating with the construction of the Marbella Club Hotel in the 1950s. What was once a sleepy fishing village has in the process matured into one of the best known luxury destinations in the world. Just a little along further the coast, Puerto Banús attracts high flyers with luxury yachts, perhaps popping in to the plethora of designer boutiques that line the streets of the marina.

Yet for residents and those buying holiday homes in the area, there is much more than this small part of the Costa del Sol to choose from, and word has spread. The collective term ‘Golden Triangle’ began to circulate and has now truly taken hold. The area it describes extends from Marbella along the coast to Estepona, with the point of the triangle touching Benahavís, known as the ‘dining room of the Costa del Sol’ for the range and quality of restaurants available in this small hilltop village.

Impressive urbanisations including La Zagaleta and El Madroñal have added their names to luxury residential areas such as Sierra Blanca and the Golden Mile as locations to be coveted by celebrities and affluent property investors. In the part of the triangle that reaches Estepona, the property market has discovered an exciting new area with great potential. The scarcity of land in desirable Marbella has meant a shift in focus to less developed Estepona, leading to a surge of interest, with the construction of exclusive offerings in stunning settings to join more established luxury developments.

The beauty of these prestigious zones is that each has its own character, from the traditional glamour of Marbella and the authentically Andalusian resort of Estepona to the characteristic mountain setting of Benahavís.
