Costa del Sol
120 kilometres of coastline, 320 sunny days a year and one of Europe's most dynamic property markets. From cultural Málaga through Marbella to peaceful Manilva.
Why Costa del Sol
The Mediterranean at its finest.
Costa del Sol – the “Coast of the Sun” – stretches from the cultural capital of Málaga past fifty beaches to Manilva on the border of Cádiz province. Málaga AGP international airport offers direct connections to dozens of European cities, the AP-7 motorway links the entire coast, and the high-speed AVE train connects Málaga with Madrid in 2,5 hours.
The region is among Europe's highest-yielding property markets. A combination of strong year-round demand, limited new construction on the beachfront and steady price growth creates an ideal setting for investment and year-round living alike. Short-term rentals in Marbella and Estepona achieve occupancy rates above 80 % and gross yields of 5–7 % a year.
Above all, Costa del Sol is a lifestyle: 70+ golf courses, 16 marinas, Michelin-starred restaurants, international schools and private healthcare on a par with Europe's finest centres. Andalusian cuisine, flamenco and the whitewashed mountain villages of Andalusia are part of everyday life.
