The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

San Pedro Alcántara, which locals simply call San Pedro, is one of the Costa del Sol’s great success stories. Just over two decades ago, this Spanish town was very much smaller than it is today and was separated from the beach by the N340 coastal road and a long stretch of uninhabited ground.

For many years, Nueva Andalucía has been the preferred destination for many visitors to the Costa del Sol, and particularly for those investing in permanent residences or holiday homes. As Marbella’s largest suburb, just west of the city centre and inland of Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía is home to a large number of permanent residents but also welcomes a significant number of holiday makers during the peak summer season.

For many the luxury marina of Puerto Banús is every bit as famous as Marbella itself. Since it was first opened in 1970 in the style of a Mediterranean village, Puerto Banús has become internationally renowned as a luxury destination rich in glamour and excitement – and it remains to this day a Marbella hot point that draws large numbers of people – including many celebrities – to its luxury beaches and venues.

The country club is an American invention, and at that one of their finest, but interestingly enough some of the finest country clubs can be found outside of the USA. La Zagaleta belongs to this international elite, for its unique setting, amenities and concept makes it one of the most prestigious residential country clubs not just in Europe, but globally.

Right from the beginning, the luxury apartments and penthouses at Magna Marbella in the famous Marbella Golf Valley, have stood out and attracted a very select clientele looking for spacious, stylish properties with panoramic terraces and top spec amenities. Magna Marbella offers this and more. Occupying a prime location on the gentle ridge that allows commanding views over San Pedro Alcántara, the Mediterranean Sea, the inland mountain ranges and back across Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús to Marbella town.

Marbella is rich in luxurious apartment complexes in prime beachside locations surrounded by lush tropical gardens, but few compare to the Malibu Puerto Banus frontline beach apartments.
