Spain · Why this destination
From Málaga’s city life to Marbella’s marinas and the hills around Benahavís, the Costa del Sol offers different ways to own a home in southern Spain. Start with how you want to spend your time, then compare the location, running costs and permitted use of each property.
Spain
Marbella combines beaches, golf, a historic centre and the marina at Puerto Banús. That range makes the area worth exploring for buyers who want a home they can enjoy for sport, dining and time with family.
Spain’s official tourism portalMálaga–Costa del Sol Airport connects the region with major overseas visitor markets. Its September 2026 traffic included substantial flows to and from the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and France—useful context when assessing access for your own visits.
AenaThe Costa del Sol’s appeal includes coastal towns, Málaga and inland villages. Compare everyday access to shops, beaches and services with the privacy of a hillside address; the best setting depends on how you will use the home.

13 October 2026 · Reported actuals
Aena recorded 22,129,948 passengers at Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport from January to September 2026, up 6.6% year on year. September alone reached 2.81 million. Passenger movements indicate connectivity and travel activity; they are not a forecast of rental demand for an individual home.
Aena2 October 2026 · Provisional actuals
INE’s provisional figures put international tourist arrivals at almost 70.4 million in the first eight months of 2026, 5.4% above the same period in 2025. These national figures provide travel-market context, rather than a measure of demand in one Costa del Sol development.

Ask your independent adviser and notary to check title, charges and the applicable purchase taxes before you commit. New-build and resale transactions can have different tax treatment; budget for the purchase process as well as the advertised price.
Consejo General del NotariadoFor tourist letting in Andalusia, check municipal planning rules, registration requirements and the owners’ community’s express approval where applicable. A home’s location in a popular resort does not itself establish permission to operate holiday accommodation.

Before you choose
Marea is at Finca Cortesin in Casares, Málaga. Marbella, Estepona and Málaga are other places in the wider Costa del Sol; they are not interchangeable addresses. Use the exact property location when comparing daily journeys and your preferred surroundings.
Explore Casares · Spain’s official tourism guideGive each shortlisted home the same questions. A beautiful view is a reason to look closer; the written details help you decide.
Request the unit reference, floor plan, orientation, indoor and outdoor areas, parking and storage. Keep the selected home separate from the wider project presentation.
Ask for a dated written quotation and payment schedule, plus the costs of furnishing, recurring charges, maintenance and any optional services. Ask an appropriately qualified adviser to confirm taxes and transaction costs for your circumstances.
Explain whether this is a main home, a holiday home or a property you hope to let. Ask the relevant professionals to check permitted use and any rental or management conditions before relying on income assumptions.
Request current construction progress and the selected home’s contractual delivery terms. Identify who will confirm legal, technical and tax questions, and who will handle the property after completion.
