Choosing a neighbourhood

Which Marbella neighbourhood has the most expensive villas?

At the top end, La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca and the beachfront of the Golden Mile carry the highest asking prices, with the most important houses well above €20M. The bands on this page are indicative asking prices for detached villas in autumn 2026, not valuations.

Where should a family with school-age children look?

Nueva Andalucía, Guadalmina, Los Monteros and Elviria combine villas with gardens, short school runs and daily life within reach. The Villa Finder weighs these factors against your budget.

Are all of these neighbourhoods in the municipality of Marbella?

No. La Zagaleta, El Madroñal and the Benahavís hills belong to Benahavís, and much of the New Golden Mile to Estepona. The municipality decides licences, the general plan and local taxes, so it matters for due diligence.

How were the drive times measured?

They are typical drives outside rush hour, rounded to five minutes, and they assume a car. In July and August and on school mornings, allow considerably more.
