The Marbella Club: At the heart of the Golden Mile

At the heart of Marbella’s enviable lifestyle lies the Marbella Club. This stylish oasis of luxury has long been the most emblematic symbol of the town as a destination for an affluent international jetset.

Indeed it was the Marbella Club that gave birth to the town’s reputation for providing a luxurious lifestyle combining the best of relaxed indoor/outdoor living with top-class dining facilities, superb beach clubs and a vibrant nightlife.

The wooded estate was originally owned by the von Hohenlohe family, with the hotel being developed by Prince Alfonso in the 1950s. The Hollywood celebrities, European nobility and international businesspeople who visited fell in love with the charms of this exclusive resort and took to building their own elegant villas in the neighbouring environs, which soon became known as Marbella’s Golden Mile.

Sixty years later properties on the Golden Mile remain some of the most sought after residences in the world, and those at the Marbella Club itself are perhaps the most exclusive. The grandest of these villas lead directly to the beach and offer magnificent views across the Mediterranean to Africa, while losing none of their privacy and seclusion.

Residents have access to an elegant seafront promenade that stretches from Marbella centre all the way to the famous marina at Puerto Banús. The stylish palm fringed walkway offers the opportunity to take in glorious vistas across the Mediterranean to Africa while enjoying a stroll or—for the more energetic—a run or cycle. It is a favourite spot for families and friends to meet up to enjoy the Marbella outdoor lifestyle.

Properties here—some of palatial proportions—are the gold standard when it comes to elegantly designed high-end homes, many of which have been modernised to feature the latest styles and amenities. They offer every imaginable luxury in terms of home automation, leisure facilities, saunas, home cinema and private spas, as is to be expected in such an exclusive area.

If that is not enough, all the fine dining, spa and sporting facilities of the Marbella Club are just a short stroll away, while the marina of Puerto Banús in one direction and Marbella town in the other can be walked to along the stylish seafront promenade.

The Golden Mile offers an enviable lifestyle to those fortunate enough to own a home there, and as such is in great demand with property buyers from around the world. The best villas only rarely come on to the market here, so it is crucial to choose an agency with the right credentials in order to have access to the finest properties in this small and highly exclusive location.
