Coastal Perfection: Stunning Marbesa Villa Just 50 Metres From the Beach

"Marbesa represents something increasingly rare on the Costa del Sol," explains Lars, one of our experienced buyer's agents with over five years in the market. "It's maintained its peaceful, villa-only atmosphere while being just minutes from everything Marbella has to offer. For buyers seeking genuine coastal living without the crowds, this is it."

This exceptional property embodies everything that makes Marbesa special: a magnificent five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa positioned just 50 metres from the Mediterranean, offering the perfect balance of privacy, luxury, and beachside convenience.

The Property: Mediterranean Excellence

Located in the heart of Las Chapas, this exceptional detached villa represents coastal living at its finest. The numbers tell part of the story—722m² of private plot, five spacious bedrooms, five luxurious bathrooms, and parking for three vehicles. But it's the lifestyle this property enables that truly sets it apart.

Living Spaces Designed for the Mediterranean

The villa's south-facing orientation ensures your home is bathed in the famous Costa del Sol sunshine throughout the day. Natural light floods through generous living spaces, while the thoughtful design creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow—essential for Mediterranean living.

The five bedrooms provide flexibility for families, guest accommodation, or dedicated home office space—increasingly important for the international professionals and digital entrepreneurs discovering Marbesa's appeal. With five full bathrooms, the property offers both convenience and privacy for residents and guests alike.

Your Private Coastal Sanctuary

Step outside into your exclusive outdoor oasis. The private swimming pool becomes the heart of daily life here—morning laps before work, afternoon refreshment, evening entertaining under the stars. The mature garden, set within the generous 722m² plot, provides both beauty and privacy, with the subtle scent of Mediterranean flora and the distant sound of the sea.

The property's crowning feature is the spacious solarium with sea views. Here, morning coffee becomes a ritual, sunset cocktails a daily celebration, and peaceful contemplation finds its perfect setting. The large terrace extends your living space outdoors, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining throughout the year.

And the beach? Just 50 metres away. This isn't "walking distance to the beach"—this is genuine beachside living where spontaneous morning swims and evening strolls along the shore become part of your daily routine.

Discovering Marbesa: Costa del Sol's Hidden Gem

A Villa Suburb by the Sea

Marbesa stands apart from other Costa del Sol locations through its distinctive character—a true villa-only suburb that has resisted the high-rise developments common elsewhere. The area's defining feature is its canopy of mature umbrella pines, creating peaceful, tree-lined streets that feel worlds away from busy tourist areas, yet remain just 12 kilometres from Marbella's center.

This low-density development philosophy means privacy is built into the neighborhood's DNA. Properties here enjoy space, tranquility, and an old-school European villa suburb atmosphere that's increasingly rare on the Mediterranean coast.

The Beach Life

The Marbesa coastline offers some of the Costa del Sol's finest beaches. Long stretches of golden sand backed by protected dunes—particularly the famous Dunas de Artola natural monument—provide a pristine coastal environment. Unlike more developed areas, these beaches never feel crowded, even during peak season.

The area's beach clubs and chiringuitos (traditional beach restaurants) offer everything from casual beachside dining to the world-famous glamour of Nikki Beach Club at the nearby Don Carlos Hotel. Restaurant Simbad el Marinero, Le Papillon, and the newly renovated Torre de Lance de los Cañas provide diverse dining options steps from the shore.

Location Without Compromise

"One of Marbesa's greatest advantages is accessibility," Lars notes. "You're far enough from the tourist bustle to enjoy peace and privacy, but close enough to access everything quickly."

The area sits approximately:

• 12 kilometres (10 minutes) from Marbella center
• 15 minutes from both Marbella and Fuengirola
• 40 minutes from Málaga International Airport
• Minutes from Puerto Banús for luxury shopping and dining
• Walking distance to Elviria's open-air shopping center

This positioning offers the best of both worlds—coastal tranquility with urban convenience.

A Complete Lifestyle Infrastructure

Marbesa isn't just about beautiful homes and beaches. The area provides everything needed for full-time Mediterranean living:

International Education: Multiple prestigious schools serve the area, including Colegio Las Chapas (bilingual Spanish-English), The English International College (British curriculum with IB program), and Colegio Alboran (Spanish-English bilingual).

Golf Excellence: Golf enthusiasts find paradise here, with Cabopino Golf Marbella and Santa María Golf Club on the doorstep, plus Marbella Golf Club, Santa Clara, and Río Real nearby.

Active Living: Tennis and paddle clubs, professional gymnasiums, the Marbella Rugby Club, and beach volleyball facilities support an active lifestyle. The protected Dunas de Artola and surrounding pine-covered hills offer hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails.

Gastronomy: From Michelin-quality dining to authentic chiringuitos serving fresh-caught fish, the area celebrates Mediterranean cuisine. The famous El Rancho grill restaurant, known for its exceptional steaks and wine cellar, sits nearby, alongside numerous beachfront establishments.

Healthcare: The main Costa del Sol hospital is just ten minutes away, with numerous private clinics and medical facilities throughout the area.

The Marbesa Community

The neighborhood attracts a particular type of resident—international professionals, affluent retirees, and families seeking quality of life over status display. The well-established expat community creates a welcoming, multilingual environment where English, Spanish, German, Scandinavian languages, and Dutch are commonly heard.

"There's a genuine sense of community in Marbesa," Lars explains. "It's not a transient tourist area. People live here year-round, which creates authentic neighborhood connections."

The Smart Investment Perspective

Market Positioning

Marbesa's property market occupies an interesting position within greater Marbella. Unlike the premium-priced Golden Mile or the glitzy Puerto Banús, Marbesa offers luxury at more accessible price points while maintaining exclusivity through its low-density development and villa-only character.

At €2,695,000, this property represents the upper segment of Marbesa's market—justified by its exceptional location just 50 metres from the beach, generous plot size, and high-quality construction. Properties in this price range in Marbesa typically offer:

• Beachside locations with sea views
• Substantial plot sizes (600-1,000m²+)
• Modern construction or comprehensive renovation
• Premium finishes and amenities

Long-Term Value Drivers

Several factors support Marbesa's continued appeal and property value appreciation:

Scarcity: The area's completed development and protected dune systems mean limited new construction. Available beachside properties become increasingly rare as the area matures.

Authentic Lifestyle: As other Costa del Sol areas become overdeveloped, Marbesa's preserved character becomes more valuable to discerning buyers.

International Demand: The area's appeal to Northern European buyers particularly—who appreciate the combination of climate, lifestyle, and community—provides consistent demand.

Infrastructure Investment: Ongoing improvements to Marbella's infrastructure, including transport links and amenities, enhance the entire eastern Marbella area.

Rental Potential: While primarily attracting permanent residents, the area also appeals to high-quality long-term rentals, particularly from executives, digital nomads, and families seeking year-round Mediterranean living.

Why Independent Buyer Representation Matters

The Marbesa Market Complexity

"Buying in Marbesa requires understanding nuances that aren't obvious from listings," Lars cautions. "Plot sizes, proximity to protected areas, access to the beach, community regulations—these factors significantly impact property value and living experience."

With over five years specializing in the Costa del Sol market, Lars brings the local knowledge international buyers need. His background as an Executive Coach adds another dimension—understanding not just what properties clients think they want, but what will genuinely serve their lifestyle goals.

The Marbesa Lifestyle: More Than Property

Daily Life by the Sea

Imagine waking to Mediterranean sunlight streaming through your windows. Your morning swim—in your private pool or the sea, just 50 metres away—becomes routine rather than luxury. Coffee on your solarium watching the sunrise over the Mediterranean.

The afternoon might bring a tennis match at one of the local clubs, a round of golf at Cabopino, or simply reading in your shaded garden. Evening means fresh seafood at a beachside chiringuito, or entertaining friends on your terrace as the sun sets over the water.

This isn't a vacation fantasy—it's the actual daily rhythm of Marbesa life.

The Draw for International Buyers

Northern European buyers particularly find Marbesa irresistible. The area offers:

• Escape from long, dark winters without sacrificing quality of life
• International community with multilingual environment
• Lower cost of living than Scandinavia, UK, or Central Europe
• Excellent international schools for families
• Gateway to Mediterranean travel and culture
• Investment diversification outside home country

"I see Marbesa attracting a particular type of buyer," Lars observes. "They're successful but not showy. They value quality of life over status symbols. They want genuine Mediterranean living, not a tourist experience."

A Home for All Seasons

Unlike purely holiday destinations, Marbesa shines year-round. The Costa del Sol's famous climate—300+ days of sunshine annually—means mild, pleasant winters and warm but not scorching summers. The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn might actually be Marbesa's best periods, with perfect temperatures and fewer tourists.

This year-round appeal makes the area ideal for:

• Permanent relocation
• Extended winter escapes from Northern Europe
• Remote work flexibility
• Retirement living
• Investment properties for personal use and rental income
