Nueva Andalucía, Marbella — Area Guide

Nueva Andalucía is one of the most sought-after areas on Marbella's western side, just behind Puerto Banús and between Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara. Known as the Golf Valley for the championship courses that surround it, it combines calm, green residential living with the glamour of Puerto Banús five minutes away. Málaga Airport is around 45–50 minutes away. For anyone looking to buy a property in Nueva Andalucía — from an apartment beside the golf to a villa fronting the Las Brisas fairways — it is one of the most versatile and liquid addresses on the Costa del Sol.

Where Nueva Andalucía is and how to get there

Nueva Andalucía occupies the valley that opens just north of Puerto Banús, on Marbella's western side. That position offers a double advantage: residential calm and, at the same time, the marina, boutiques and beaches a step away. Marbella centre is around 10 minutes away and San Pedro de Alcántara about 5; Málaga Airport is 45–50 minutes (roughly 55 km) via the AP-7/A-7. The area is easy by car, with good links along the whole coast.

The "Golf Valley": the area's character

Nueva Andalucía is, above all, synonymous with golf: three championship courses — Aloha, Los Naranjos and Las Brisas — shape a green, rolling valley dotted with developments, lakes and villas overlooking the fairways. The result is a landscaped, low-density setting, residential and quiet, yet minutes from the buzz of Puerto Banús. It is one of the few parts of Marbella offering golf, schools, leisure and beach within a tiny radius.

Lifestyle and atmosphere

The atmosphere is cosmopolitan and relaxed, with a well-established international community (British, Scandinavian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European, among others). Daily life revolves around the golf clubs, the cafés and restaurants of Aloha Pueblo, and the proximity of Puerto Banús for shopping and nightlife. It works equally well for families, golfers, professionals and anyone seeking a second home with full year-round services.

Nueva Andalucía's sub-areas

Several enclaves with distinct character and pricing sit under the name "Nueva Andalucía":

Aloha

The heart of the valley, beside Aloha Golf and Aloha College; villas, townhouses and apartments, with Aloha Pueblo as the social hub of restaurants and services.

Las Brisas

The most exclusive area, with large villas around the prestigious Real Club de Golf Las Brisas.

Los Naranjos

Around the Los Naranjos Golf course, mixing villas with much sought-after apartment and townhouse communities.

La Cerquilla

A residential enclave of large plots and villas, prized for its calm and privacy.

La Campana, Rodeo and Guadaiza

The more commercial, more affordable entry point, close to supermarkets and everyday services.

La Dama de Noche and Magna Marbella

Communities beside the floodlit La Dama de Noche course and in the elevated Magna area, with apartments, townhouses and views.

Golf: the valley's courses

The three courses that give the area its name are Aloha Golf (18 holes, a regular competition venue), Los Naranjos Golf (a Robert Trent Jones design) and the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of Spain's most prestigious clubs and host to major tournaments. Nearby are also La Quinta, Magna Marbella and La Dama de Noche, a floodlit course that allows night play. It is one of Europe's greatest concentrations of golf.

Puerto Banús and the beach

Puerto Banús sits literally at the foot of Nueva Andalucía: one of the most famous luxury marinas in the Mediterranean, with yachts, designer boutiques, restaurants and nightlife. The beaches of Puerto Banús and Río Verde, along with those of the New Golden Mile, are minutes away. That combination of inland golf and the sea right next door is one of the area's great draws.

Gastronomy

The offering is broad and year-round: the restaurants and cafés of Aloha Pueblo, classics such as Los Bandidos and La Sala, the buzz of Magna Café overlooking the valley and, a step away, all the fine dining and fashionable venues of Puerto Banús. For everyday life there are cafés, supermarkets and neighbourhood markets.

Leisure, shopping and the market

The Centro Plaza shopping centre is the area's service hub, with shops, restaurants and a weekly market. On Saturday mornings, beside the Nueva Andalucía bullring, one of the best-known open-air markets on the coast takes place. And all the luxury of Puerto Banús — including El Corte Inglés — is five minutes away.

Schools

Education is a strength of the area: within Nueva Andalucía itself is Aloha College, one of the most respected international schools on the Costa del Sol, offering a British curriculum and the International Baccalaureate. Its proximity directly underpins demand for family homes in the valley.

Healthcare

The area draws on Marbella's healthcare infrastructure: private clinics and medical centres nearby, plus the public Hospital Costa del Sol and leading centres such as HC Marbella and Quirónsalud a few minutes away. Accessible healthcare is an important factor for families and permanent residents.

Nature and sport

Beyond golf, the green valley invites walking, running and cycling, with the foothills of the Sierra Blanca and La Concha rising behind. There are tennis and padel clubs, horse riding nearby and, in Puerto Banús, water sports. The mild climate allows outdoor life all year round.

The Nueva Andalucía property market

Nueva Andalucía is one of Marbella's most stable and liquid markets. According to industry data, the average asking price in early 2026 was around €6,600/m², up close to 9% year on year. Demand is constant and international, and the supply of golf-front plots is limited, which supports prices. The gap between asking and closing price leaves room to negotiate.

Property types and price ranges

• Apartments and penthouses: from ~€400,000 in valley communities up to several million for golf-front penthouses.
• Townhouses: a very popular family format, indicatively from ~€600,000.
• Villas: from ~€1.5M up to €10–15M+ for golf-front homes (Las Brisas, La Cerquilla).
• New builds: several modern developments with amenities, pool and security.

The buying process for foreigners

Foreigners can buy property in Spain freely. The basics: NIE, a bank account, legal due diligence, the deposit contract (arras) and the deed before a notary. On top of the price, allow around 10–13% for taxes, notary, registration and lawyer. Short-term rentals in Andalusia require a tourist licence (VFT) — check eligibility before buying. Inmolux Group supports the whole transaction.

Investment and rental yield

Nueva Andalucía is a solid investment bet: golf tourism and the proximity of Puerto Banús sustain high rental demand spread throughout the year. Short-term rentals require a VFT licence; long-term rentals are stable in the family areas near Aloha College. The actual yield depends on the property and the rental model.

Why buy in Nueva Andalucía

Nueva Andalucía brings together championship golf, leading schools, leisure and Puerto Banús next door, all in a central location and a historically liquid market. For some it's a home with a lifestyle; for others, an investment in one of Marbella's most in-demand areas. Deciding to buy a property in Nueva Andalucía means entering the heart of the Costa del Sol's Golf Valley.
