COSTA DEL SOL

The Costa del Sol is certainly one of the most sought after places on the entire Spanish coast. Considering the climate, the beautiful scenery and the wide ranging choice of lifestyles on offer its not surprising that celebrities, successful professionals, retirees and indeed anyone who wants a little bit of extra luxury and glamour in their lives find it here.

The Costa del Sol has been a popular holiday destination for most of the 20th century. The western side particularly became synonymous with the idea of the ‘holiday in the sun’ and the 1960’s and 70’s produced a boom in tourism that put the Costa del Sol on the map as one of the holiday destinations, a reputation that it still enjoys to this day.

A little further east along the coast the Marbella region was also starting to see a boom, but it’s rise to fame as a ‘place to be seen’ came mainly after Prince Alfonso founded the Marbella Club in 1959 and after the building of the Puerto Banus marina and property development. This naturally attracted the cream of high society and subsequently a host of top quality golf clubs, high class shopping centers, clubs, restaurants, casinos and luxury hotels to accommodate the needs of some of the worlds most wealthy and influential people.

As you would expect the quality of property in these areas is exceptional and if your in the market for a top of the range luxury villa then this is the place for you. For those with more modest needs or those buying for investment purposes there is also a great selection of developments to choose from with a range of high class but more affordable accommodation.

There is no doubt that the Costa del Sol is a world of luxury yachts, exclusive lifestyles and high class shopping, yet it is still a place of opportunity where many people choose to live, work, play and raise their families.
