Villas for Sale in Marbella
Villas in Marbella — family homes near the Golden Mile to frontline luxury estates, in one of the coast's deepest prime markets, minutes from Puerto Banús.
About villas in Marbella
Marbella sits at the centre of the Costa del Sol, between the Sierra Blanca mountains and the sea, with one of the deepest prime-property markets in southern Europe. Its villa zones fan out from the coast: the Golden Mile between the town and Puerto Banús, the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía, the gated hillsides of Sierra Blanca and Nagüeles, and — at the ultra-prime end — La Zagaleta and El Madroñal above the coast. The range is exceptional, spanning from family villas inland to frontline estates among the most expensive in Spain.
Villas in our current selection span that breadth — from a four-bedroom home of around 256 square metres at approximately €990,000, to a six-bedroom estate of roughly 974 square metres at around €11,600,000, each with a private pool and garden. Listings show the exact plot, built area, orientation and views. Both new-build and resale villas trade across Marbella; use the catalogue filters to narrow by bedrooms, price, zone and sea proximity. Buyer demand here is among the most international on the coast — Northern European, Middle Eastern, American and Spanish — drawn by the microclimate, the concentration of golf, and a depth of services, international schools and gated security that few places on the coast match.

Beyond the price, budget roughly 10–13%. On a resale villa the transfer tax (ITP) in Andalucía is 7%; on a new-build it is 10% VAT plus 1.2% stamp duty (AJD). Add notary, land-registry and legal fees of around 1–2%. Your Bravos Estate adviser confirms the exact figures for each property.
Marbella carries the strongest prestige brand, the deepest market and the widest services on the coast, at a premium. Estepona, 20 minutes west, offers comparable villa specification typically 15–25% lower. The right choice depends on budget and priorities.
