Apartments for sale in Marbella.
The most-watched apartment market on the Costa del Sol. Eight neighbourhoods, four distinct buyer profiles, prices from €290,000 to €4.25M. We curate 172 apartments here and we know every building.

Marbella is four markets, not one.
The single most common mistake foreign buyers make in Marbella is treating it as one market. It isn't. The €4,800/m² apartment in central Nueva Andalucía and the €11,200/m² apartment on the Golden Mile are technically both Marbella. They share almost nothing else — different buyers, different building stock, different rental dynamics, different reasons to be there.
The four operative micro-markets are: Nueva Andalucía (golf valley, best value-per-m², family-friendly), Puerto Banús (marina-front, short-let-yield, more turnover), Sierra Blanca and the Golden Mile (quiet primary residence, school catchment, high price floor), and Marbella Old Town (walkable, soulful, undervalued for what it is). Each is its own answer, with its own typical buyer.
If you don't yet know which of the four you are, the neighbourhood breakdown below is the right place to start. If you're between two of them, we maintain comparison pieces for the most-asked pairings — Nueva Andalucía vs Sierra Blanca, Puerto Banús vs the Golden Mile, Marbella vs Estepona for foreign buyers.
And if you want a shorter shortlist — three or four apartments hand-picked from the 172, with a note on each — just ask. We do it almost every day.
Start with where, not what.
Eight neighbourhoods, each with its own price, buyer mix, and reason to be there.
Entry prices, €/m² figures and property counts on this page are indicative market guidance — not live listings or formal valuations. We confirm current availability and pricing on enquiry.
Nueva Andalucía
Best value-per-m² in Marbella. Slightly inland, golf-led, family-friendly. The right answer for buyers who care about square metres and a school run.
Puerto Banús
Highest short-let yield in our coverage. Marina-front, walkable to bars and beach clubs, higher building turnover but better income.
Sierra Blanca
Quietest of the four. Gated, family-feeling, the most private addresses in central Marbella. Pay for what you don't see — traffic, noise, rental churn.
Golden Mile
The historic Marbella postcode. Mature urbanizaciones, beachfront blocks built in the 80s and 90s, the largest premium for the Golden Mile line itself.
Marbella Old Town
The most walkable part of Marbella by a wide margin. Smaller properties, no private parking, full of Spanish life. Undervalued for what it is.
San Pedro de Alcántara
Best-kept-secret Marbella. International schools, full-Spanish town life, beach in eight minutes. Where many buyers eventually move when their kids start school.
Elviria
Beachside Marbella with mature pine-tree urbanizaciones. Quieter than Puerto Banús, half the price of Sierra Blanca, good for buyers who want both.
Cabopino
Easternmost Marbella, small marina, dune-protected beach, golf walking distance. A favourite of north-European long-stay buyers who value privacy.
Or filter by shape.

Adjacent markets.
Marbella vs Estepona
Roughly 30% less per m², newer building stock, sleepier in winter. The right answer for buyers who want Marbella amenities without Marbella prices.
Nueva Andalucía vs Sierra Blanca
The two Marbella neighbourhoods foreign buyers consider most often. One is 35–40% cheaper per m². Different reasons to choose each.
Marbella vs Benahavís
Inland, hillside, golf-led. The same money buys 30–40% more m² than Sierra Blanca with a 12-minute drive penalty. Worth understanding.

Ask our Marbella deskHow many apartments do you have for sale in Marbella?
We curate 172 apartments across eight Marbella neighbourhoods, from €290,000 to €4.25M. That's a fraction of the much larger universe of what's technically available in the wider portal network — we don't list properties we wouldn't recommend a friend visit.
Which Marbella neighbourhood is best for foreign buyers?
It depends on the use case. Nueva Andalucía for value and golf. Puerto Banús for short-let yield. Sierra Blanca and the Golden Mile for quiet primary residence. Marbella Old Town for walkability. San Pedro de Alcántara if you have school-age children. We maintain side-by-side comparisons for the most-asked pairings.
What does an apartment in Marbella cost per square metre?
The range is wider here than anywhere else on the coast because Marbella is four markets, not one. Per-m² prices currently run from €4,800/m² in central Nueva Andalucía to €11,200/m² on the Golden Mile. Our portfolio median sits at €685,000 for around 160m². Smaller two-bedroom apartments in the Old Town start around €520,000.
Can a non-resident buy an apartment in Marbella?
Yes, identically to Spanish residents. You will need an NIE (the Spanish tax ID for foreigners), a Spanish bank account, and ideally a local lawyer. We coordinate all three alongside the offer process. Non-resident mortgages are available at 60–70% LTV from Spanish banks, with rates currently around the same level as Spanish-resident equivalents.
What annual cost should I budget for a Marbella apartment?
For a typical mid-range Marbella apartment, budget €7,000–€18,000 per year before mortgage. Sample €750,000 / 140m² apartment: comunidad €3,600–€5,400; IBI €1,400–€2,200; basura €180; building insurance €420; utilities €1,800; non-resident income tax (Modelo 210) €600–€900. Sierra Blanca and Puerto Banús buildings with full security and pool can push comunidad alone above €600/month.
How much of the Marbella apartment market is foreign-owned?
Marbella has one of the highest foreign-owner shares on the coast. In our experience the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús postcodes run comfortably above half, with roughly 40% in Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro and lower still in the Old Town. Practically, that means the building you buy into is likely to have an English-speaking comunidad and a mixed-nationality neighbour pool.
