Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús form one of the most dynamic and sought-after lifestyle hubs in Marbella. Together, they offer a unique combination of residential comfort, world-class golf, and vibrant marina living on the Costa del Sol.
Nueva Andalucía is often referred to as the “Golf Valley” due to its concentration of prestigious golf courses, including Los Naranjos Golf Club and surrounding championship layouts.

The marina area is filled with waterfront restaurants, beach clubs, and luxury shopping, attracting an international crowd throughout the year.

The two areas are seamlessly connected, allowing residents of Nueva Andalucía to enjoy the excitement of Puerto Banús within minutes while still returning to a peaceful residential setting. This balance is a major reason the area remains one of the most desirable property markets in Marbella.

Overall, Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús offer the perfect blend of luxury living and vibrant coastal lifestyle — combining golf, glamour, and convenience in one of the most established and internationally recognised destinations on the Costa del Sol.
