The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

Marbella’s recent honour as the Best European Destination for 2024, as confirmed by the European Best Destinations (EBD) and noted in respected business publication Forbes, marks a significant milestone for the city and the broader tourism industry.

Marbella has it all. A wonderful climate that sees the sun shining almost every day, stunning scenery and of course, those fabulous beaches that stretch on for miles. Rest and relaxation are not hard to come by, but if you’re looking for a wellness retreat to pamper the mind and body, Marbella can do that too.

Those who know Marbella well understand that Spring is one of the most delightful times of year in this privileged seaside resort. Temperatures are mild, the sun shines almost every day and the summer’s crowds have yet to materialise. Flowers bloom all year round; however, spring sees an abundance of trees and shrubs bursting into life, with golden mimosas, pink and white silk floss and deep purple jacarandas marking the season. The views from homes in Marbella are even lovelier than ever. Here we have curated a small selection of properties with wonderful terraces from which to observe the passing seasons.

The unique traditions found around the globe are what make visiting or residing in different places unique. Many of these customs stem from religious observances, with Easter being a particularly significant period for Christian countries. Spain, maintaining its strong Catholic heritage, celebrates Easter with devotion, passion, and spectacle.

If you live in Marbella, it cannot have escaped your notice that water levels in the reservoirs that keep taps and showers flowing, and swimming pools topped up in the summer months, have been getting dangerously low. The Marbella desalination plant that can produce half the water used on the Western Costa del Sol was first brought into service in 1997, however as water scarcity becomes an increasingly pressing issue, innovative solutions are more important than ever.

Marbella has always been a popular destination for second-home buyers as well as individuals and families wishing to start a new life in the sun and wonderful scenery on offer in this beautiful part of the world.
