Nueva Andalucía and The Golf Valley

Southern Spain is one of Europe’s most premier destinations and is world renowned for a great golfing holiday.  With over 50 golf courses between Malaga and Sotogrande, offering a variety of course designs and amazing sea and mountain views, you can play virtually all year round under the Spanish sun. For this reason the Costa del Sol is also referred to as the Costa Del Golf. Some of the best facilities and golfing infrastructure can be found on the courses along this stretch of coastal land.

3 of these top quality golf courses can be found in a small area of Marbella, aptly named “The Golf Valley” by locals, Nueva Andalucía. A beautiful lush valley within a 5 minutes drive from the famous marina of Puerto Banus, a highly sought after residential area with wide avenues, due to the fact that it provides all the amenities and facilities of a town but without the noise and traffic.

Nueva Andalucía once an orange grove, with its beautiful landscape quickly became a homeowner’s paradise with luxury properties being bought and built here since Marbella’s tourist boom in the 1960s. Properties that are frontline to the golf courses in this area have fantastic views of these top quality courses and are continuously in high demand both for sale and for rental, offering a variety of styles from the most current trend of modern and minimalistic to the traditional Andalusian.

The area of Nueva Andalucía borders with San Pedro, Puerto Banus and the Sierra de Ronda mountain range and offers focal points including:

• “Turtle Lake” – A beautiful natural lake that was restored and transformed in the recent years, making it an ideal location attracting people of all ages for picnics, family outings and or a relaxing walk by the waters edge.

• The Bullring – A masterpiece of architectural design, no longer used for its main purpose as a working bullring, now catering for concerts and events, offering a unique setting. One of the most famous International events was hosting the Davis Cup in 2009.

• Saturday Market – A unique street market experience when visiting Marbella, here you can find a large variety of items from antiquities and furniture, to local products and handicrafts, to fresh cut flowers, this Market is visited by locals and tourists alike each Saturday morning, positioned round the Bullring and up to the commercial center “Centro Plaza” with many coffee shops and restaurants.

In the heart of the Golf Valley we find Marbella’s most famous golf courses:
