There are many top addresses in Europe, from London and Paris to Monte Carlo, but one located in Marbella that has the word ‘golden’ attached to it is always going to rank among the very best.
Marbella’s Golden Mile is an address that evokes an immediate sense of exclusivity and prestige. Situated in the heart of Marbella, this celebrated stretch spans approximately four miles from the western edge of Marbella city to the marina of Puerto Banús. It’s not just an address; it’s a lifestyle, a benchmark in luxury that has captivated an international clientele.
The Golden Mile is strategically located to offer the best of Marbella. To the east, it’s anchored by the historic and charming Marbella Old Town. To the west, it culminates at the glamorous Puerto Banús, known for its luxury yachts, designer boutiques, and vibrant nightlife. This prime location provides residents diverse lifestyle options, from cultural explorations to high-end shopping and dining.
As a result, the Golden Mile is not only Marbella’s most famous address but also one of the most distinguished in Europe. And how could it not be, for this beautiful avenue lined with palm trees and parks connects Marbella town with the glamorous yacht harbour and millionaire’s playground of Puerto Banús.
Along the coastal side is a privileged strip housing some of the most luxurious homes on the Mediterranean – an impressive collection of exquisite seaside villas, mansions and penthouse apartments with direct access to a long, sandy beach overlooking yachts that drop anchor here.
The Golden Mile has a distinctly exclusive atmosphere, from the elegant coastal path that fringes it to the trendy beach clubs of the legendary Marbella Club and Puente Romano resort hotels. Apartments and villas for sale on the Golden Mile are rare, and when they do come onto the market, they are snapped up by a discerning international clientele seduced by its fantastic location and prestigious address.
Peaceful, private, exclusive and yet close to all amenities, the Golden Mile offers the best of Marbella – both in terms of lifestyle and the homes it offers. However, in addition to prime location properties right by the beach this area also offers luxurious villas and apartments on the inland side of the boulevard. Immersed in rich green grounds, both provide a level of luxury, style and comfort that is matched only by the space, privacy, security and views of their location.
The residential areas of the upper Golden Mile follow the gentle slope of the land to provide mountain and sea views from their elevated positions. Here, amid beautifully manicured private villa gardens and the communal greenery of exclusive, you will find a wide variety of appealing architectural styles, interior layouts and amenities in both new and older communities and complexes.
As the original Marbella Golden Mile has been expanded to include the areas behind the beachfront strip and up to the foothills of the La Concha mountain, there is a more extensive choice of options. Here are some of our client’s favourite locations on the Golden Mile of Marbella.
