Marbella East18 Jul, 2017 Manolo Alarcon

The area between Marbella and Calahonda – where the municipal boundaries of Marbella and Mijas meet – is broadly described as “Marbella East”. Though it has at times been overshadowed by the western areas closer to Puerto Banús, Marbella East is now enjoying a great deal of interest, as it features attractive residential areas close to some of the best beaches on the coast, serene woodlands and an abundance of tranquil green zones and beautiful golf courses.

The area East of Marbella has long been a favourite with locals and tourists alike due to its relaxed setting and superb views.

It is home to many five star hotels and beach clubs, including Nikki Beach, Don Carlos Resort & Spa, Los Monteros Spa & Golf Resort and La Cabane Beach Club.

Here top medical facilities, private schools and dining options are on your doorstep too, yet the vibrant town center of Marbella is also located just a short drive away. A villa in Marbella East is the perfect choice for a peaceful lifestyle within easy reach of town amenities.

Property options here range from bright and modern beachfront estates to lavish villas and apartments, as well as exclusive turnkey developments. There are many areas where you can find a villa in Marbella East.

The first residential area one encounters east of Marbella is Río Real, where luxury apartments and townhouses ring the beautiful fairways of the local golf club amid amazing sea views.

Next are Bahía de Marbella, with its collection of beachside apartments and townhouses ranged close to the Marbella rugby field, while the luxurious frontline beach villas for sale in Los Monteros are among the most exclusive properties on the Costa del Sol.

Close by are other exclusive residential zones such as Santa Clara, El Rosario, Las Chapas and Elviria, where villas, apartments and townhouses overlook golf courses, enjoy sea views and are located in leafy pine-covered streets.

A lively commercial centre in Elviria and the charming little marina of Cabopino add to the charm of the area.
