Why invest in Nueva Andalucia?
· 5 min. read
On the western side of Marbella, there is a district that stands out as a distinguished and exclusive residential area. It is characterised by its spacious villas, extensive golf courses and proximity to vibrant Puerto Banus. Although the first residences were uniquely Andalusian in style, more contemporary architectural renovations have taken place over time, while still maintaining the original essence of the area. This neighbourhood has retained its international and welcoming atmosphere since its creation in the 1970s, when it was designed especially for the foreign community.
We will reveal why investing in Nueva Andalucia is a smart decision when it comes to choosing an excellent area of Marbella.
What are the reasons for choosing Nueva Andalucia as a place to buy and invest in property?
Firstly, it offers a wide range of local amenities. Nueva Andalucia functions almost like a mini-village. Pharmacies, banks, veterinary surgeons, beauty centres and supermarkets are all located in the area, covering all needs. It is such a complete neighbourhood that many residents spend a lot of time in their villa or apartment and within the district, and only drive to other areas if they really feel like it. Among its services, we highlight its restaurants. These are some of the must-visit restaurants in the area: Breathe, La Sala, Magna Café and Vovem
Secondly, being a district located to the north of Puerto Banus, will allow you to enjoy the marina in all its glory, with its yachts, its terraces and its VIP atmosphere. Of course, you will be able to enjoy chic shopping in its exclusive boutiques. In the port you will find more than a hundred top fashion and accessory brands, with French, Italian and Spanish brands standing out. And after a busy day of glamour, you can return to the tranquillity of your property, away from the tourist bustle of the port.
On the other hand, older properties are available at more affordable prices, which can be easily renovated to suit the personal tastes of each client and the comforts of today. In the 1970s, the construction of this residential resort in Marbella began and was given the name “Nueva Andalucia”. This project was conceived by architect Noldi Schreck, who was also hired by builder and developer José Banús to design the marina. Schreck, known for his work in Beverly Hills, was one of the pioneers in giving Marbella a fresh, carefree style. The influence of his design, which evokes the sunny, relaxed atmosphere of California with elements such as sunshine, palm trees and orientation to the sea, is evident in the Sierra Blanca area. However, in Nueva Andalucia a more Andalusian touch was added to blend the two styles harmoniously.
Of course, it is worth noting that the area is home to iconic golf courses. The exquisite golf courses located in Nueva Andalucia, together with those in Benahavis, form what is known as the “Golf Valley”. It is one of the best golfing areas in Europe. Among the courses that contribute to this reputation are Magna Marbella Golf, Aloha Golf Club, Los Naranjos Golf and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. Each of these courses has prestigious clubs with a lively and very international atmosphere. In addition to the great golf on offer, Nueva Andalucia has elite sports facilities, such as the Real Club de Pádel de Marbella and the Manolo Santana Racquets Club.
Nueva Andalucia also stands out for its serene and safe residential environment. It is mainly made up of houses and golf courses, so tourists do not usually go to the area and this reduces the interest of criminals. It is often patrolled by local police officers and there is also private security in some of the residential areas. Of course, it is advisable to take extra security measures, such as alarms or video-surveillance, as in any city where the economic level of its inhabitants is high.
Another of its advantages is that it is close to Benahavis, San Pedro and central Marbella, which offers access to a wide range of additional services. Benahavis is known as the dining room of the Costa del Sol for its tasty gastronomic options; San Pedro has a main street and boulevard that are very pleasant to walk along; and central Marbella has an old town that is a delight.
And finally, Nueva Andalucia has exclusive luxury urbanisations offering a selection of high-quality villas and apartments, with attractive landscaped surroundings. The standard of construction in the area is very good and there are urbanisations that stand out within Marbella as a whole. This is the case of Aloha, Las Brisas, Las Brisas del Golf, La Cerquilla, Haza del Conde, Los Olivos, Magna Marbella or Parcelas de Golf.
