The Golden Mile is the stretch of coast between Marbella’s old town and Puerto Banús, and the address most people mean when they think of luxury in Marbella. It runs from the beach, past the Marbella Club and Puente Romano, up into the hills of Sierra Blanca and Nagüeles beneath La Concha.
The lifestyle
Days here move between the beach, the hotels and the town. The two resorts where Marbella’s story began, the Marbella Club and Puente Romano, still set the tone with their beach clubs, restaurants and gardens, and the seafront promenade lets you walk or cycle to the old town in one direction and to Puerto Banús in the other. Despite the name, much of the Golden Mile is quiet and green: tree-lined streets, private gates and very little traffic once you leave the main road.
What you can buy
On the sea side of the main road there are beachfront villas and some of the most valuable apartment buildings on the coast. On the mountain side, the gated estates of Sierra Blanca, Nagüeles and Cascada de Camoján hold large modern villas with open views, while complexes near Puente Romano and the Marbella Club offer apartments and townhouses with hotel-style services. It is the most expensive part of Marbella, as the figures above show.
Who it suits
Buyers who want to be close to everything, the beach, the town, Puerto Banús and the international schools, without giving up privacy. It suits families as much as second-home owners, and resale demand stays strong because there is so little land left to build on.
Getting around
The A-7 coastal road runs through the middle, so Marbella centre is about five minutes away and Málaga airport around 45. Private clinics, the main shopping streets of Marbella and several international schools are within a short drive.
