Costa del Sol
Cabopino
The place
Cabopino is one of the Costa del Sol's most charming and low-key coastal enclaves, offering a rare blend of marina living, protected nature, and relaxed beachside lifestyle. Located on Marbella's eastern edge between Marbella and Fuengirola, it feels tucked away while still being exceptionally well connected.
The heart of Cabopino is its small, picturesque marina, Puerto Cabopino, where waterfront restaurants, cafés, and yachts create a calm, almost village-like atmosphere. It is far more intimate than larger ports nearby, making it especially appealing for those who prefer a quieter, more authentic coastal setting.
Just a short walk away lies one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast, Playa de Cabopino, backed by protected dunes at Dunas de Artola. This unique natural environment gives the area a rare sense of space, with wooden boardwalks winding through untouched sand dunes and pine trees.
Inland, the area is surrounded by low-density residential zones and greenery, including the popular golf community at Cabopino Golf Marbella. Nearby neighbourhoods such as Artola, Marbesa, and Elviria provide a mix of villas, apartments, and beachside homes, all within minutes of the coast.
Cabopino is particularly popular with buyers seeking a more relaxed Marbella lifestyle — less commercial, more nature-focused, and ideal for year-round living or holiday use. Despite its peaceful feel, it remains just 10–15 minutes from central Marbella and around 30–35 minutes from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, making it both private and highly accessible.
Overall, Cabopino offers a unique balance: marina charm, natural beauty, and a laid-back coastal lifestyle, all within one of the most desirable stretches of the Costa del Sol.
