Top reasons why to buy a Property in Marbella

In the past year Marbella Unique Properties have seen a significant rise in the volume of homes being purchased in and around the Marbella areas. This year 2015, we believe there are still good opportunities to be had, to mention a few: from frontline beach apartments to luxury villas in beautiful exclusive communities.

Through our years of experience in the real estate in Marbella and its surrounding areas, we believe that now, is once again a great time to buy! As an investment or for personal use, as the market begins to increase naturally so do the rental enquiries. This year the we have found that last minute short term summer rentals enquiries are at their highest and strive to full fill the demand. As always we welcome owners to contact us directly if they are looking to sell or rent their property and we would be very pleased to explain our services.

One of the main reasons that many people purchase in Marbella is for the close proximity to International European cities, within less than 4 hours you can fly direct from Malaga airport to London, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Munich, Oslo and many other cities all year round. We find that many owners choose to travel abroad for business whilst they choose to base their  family home in Marbella.

Marbella is extremely cosmopolitan, a small city for such a mix of cultures and nationalities, proudly offering a variety of International schools for permanent residents ranging from Kindergarten to University levels, with most children speaking a minimum of 3 languages: English, Spanish and an additional language (usually their mother tongue all to extremely high levels).

Marbellas climate is one of the main reasons that generations of Europeans have migrated to this special area, with the summer temperatures reaching into the 30ºs and the average winter temperature reaching 18º. This microclimate attracts people of all ages, ideal in the winter for Northern Europeans being able to enjoy more mild temperatures and during the summer months for the Asian and African countries who are looking for cooler summer periods. This unique climate lends itself to many outdoor sporting activities where Marbella and its neighbouring cities host many water sport and golf championships year in year out. The most famous golf tournaments take place in September when the weather is more mild and pleasant to be in all day long.  Other sporting activities take place in the infamous Sotogrande area where Polo is one of the main attractions throughout the year with championships from July till August.

Marbella boasts some of the most beautiful Mediterranean beaches, luxury beachside properties with direct access onto the beach as well as private and communal swimming pools. Marbella East offers the most natural and virgin beaches in our area, wide sandy beaches with shallow waters leading into the Mediterranean sea. Ideal family beaches with a variety of beach bars, hotel beach clubs and  “Chiringuitos” to choose from most are open for lunch and dinner. A truly romantic dream, to be able to dine on the beach watching the sunset each evening. Marbella centre to San Pedro offers a beautiful beach promenade, where the locals and holiday makers mix seamlessly, enjoying many activities from morning exercise, to an evening stroll or many sports activities such as cycling, rollerblading and using the gym equipment which is permanently set up boasting amazing views towards the African coast.

Marbellas infrastructure has improved enormously in the past years including the opening of a new underground tunnel under the town of San Pedro exiting in Guadalmina. The town hall have improved and continue to successfully improve many of the roads in the areas of Nueva Andalucía and Rocio de Nagueles in particular. Thanks to the new Terminal 3 in Malaga Airport, Marbellas accessibility and connect ability has increased, now offering direct flights to New York, South America and all the European capitals, helping people reach Marbella in comfort and spotlighting Marbella as a weekend destination.

Marbella has always been associated with the celebrity lifestyle since the 1960’s when actors such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Guy De Rothschild, Cary Grant, Sean Connery, Frank Sinatra and many others used to be seen on a regular basis out and about town. Today many A-list celebrities visit Marbella, many tend to choose a more private and relaxing holiday, many residing in unique settings with private villas in areas such as the Marbella Club, Puente Romano, Los Monteros and La Zagaleta.

Puerto Banus is a synonymous name in Marbella, boasting a large list of designer boutiques, luxury restaurants, private yachts and all night entertainment. Situated between Marbella town and San Pedro offering sandy beaches either side of the port. An ideal place to visit for people of all ages.
