Marbella is a great place to buy your dream house. There’s always something to do. Here is why life in Marbella is so good.
Beaches
Marbella’s beaches are marked as some of the most beautiful on the Costa del Sol. It’s no surprise that Marbella is one of the most popular coastal towns on this side of the country. There’s a large amount of sun hours and therefore plenty of opportunity to enjoy the beach throughout the year. Whether you’d like to stroll along the promenade, sunbathe, swim, or build sand castles with your kids, Marbella’s sandy beaches make it all possible.
Easily reachable
From Málaga you can easily fly to many major cities in the UK and Europe as a whole. There are also various easy ways to travel between Málaga and Marbella. Daily shuttle buses take you to your place of destination within the hour. Apart from this you can also take the train or take your own (rental) car. It couldn’t be easier.
Surrounding nature
As well as the beautiful hills that surround Marbella, there are also two stunning national parks nearby. In the former noble hunting grounds of Doñana you can spot countless migratory birds who are taking a rest on their long journey. The swampy delta area doesn’t contain any roads and very few houses and is therefore perfect for peaceful walks. Another nearby well-known national park is Sierra Nevada. The nature reserve is especially famous for its rich flora and fauna. Feel like a change of climate? This national park is the place to be.
The weather
One of the reasons people prefer life in Marbella is the weather. The climate is a temperate Mediterranean one and is also influenced by the Mediterranean sea. This means that the temperature in Marbella is pretty much always pleasant: it’s never very cold in winter and never extremely hot in summer. In winter the average temperature is about 16 °C and in summer it’s about 25-30 °C. Living in Marbella, the weather rarely turns against you.

Always wondered how the rich and famous live their lives? Marbella’s jet set consists of famous actors, pop stars, oil magnates and football players from around the globe. Ever since the 50s the well-to-do have been known to visit this once sleepy fisherman’s village. Before you know it, you’ll be bumping into the likes of Antonio Banderas or Eva Longoria.
