Costa del Sol Real Estate: +200 Homes for Sale

Costa del sol

Widely celebrated as the 'Sun Coast', the Costa del Sol (Malaga Province) remains the premier destination for property investment in Spain. Boasting over 320 days of sunshine a year, it caters to international buyers seeking a sophisticated lifestyle, from the high-end glamour of Marbella to the authentic charm of Estepona and the cultural hub of Malaga.

More than just a real estate transaction, buying here is about downsizing into luxury or securing a legacy. Whether you are looking for a frontline golf villa on the Golden Mile or a modern penthouse in Mijas, we focus on properties that offer peace of mind and exceptional quality of life.

Andalusia currently offers a highly attractive tax climate for international investors, with the ITP (transfer tax) reduced to a flat 7%. This makes it the ideal time to acquire a secondary residence or a high-yield rental property. Explore our curated selection of homes for sale on the Costa del Sol.

Our approach is built on 'Safe Hands'. We don't just sell square footage; we navigate the legal complexities for you. With our local expertise and network of independent solicitors, we ensure your transition to the Spanish sun is seamless, secure, and fully compliant.

FAQ – Buying Property on the Costa del Sol

Essential information for international buyers and investors.

We offer a wide range including luxury villas, golf apartments, beachfront penthouses, and inland fincas.

Yes. While Marbella is premium, areas like Manilva or the outskirts of Estepona offer 'Great Value' for money, especially for lock-up-and-leave holiday homes.

We strongly advise against it. Direct sales often lack proper due diligence (unpaid debts, illegal extensions). Our agency ensures a fully compliant transaction.

Absolutely. A private or communal pool is essential for rental yield and resale value in this climate.

Booming. Thanks to the 'Costa del Golf' status, the season extends beyond summer, providing year-round income opportunities.

We can verify urban planning laws to ensure your view won't be obstructed by future developments.

Marbella & Puerto Banus for luxury lifestyle. Estepona for family and gardens. Malaga for culture and tech. Mijas for views and value.

Why the World chooses the Costa del Sol

Stretching 150km from Nerja to Manilva, the Costa del Sol is often called the 'California of Europe'. Its strength lies in its year-round appeal.

Unlike other seasonal Mediterranean coasts, this region is alive 12 months a year, protected by the Sierra Nevada mountains. This microclimate attracts digital nomads, retirees, and investors alike. For local events, visit the Official Costa del Sol Tourism Board.

West vs East: Where to Buy?

The Malaga coastline offers two distinct investment profiles. Use the map below to orient yourself:

Area Western Costa del Sol
(Torremolinos to Sotogrande)
Eastern Costa del Sol
(Malaga to Nerja - AxarquĂ­a)
Lifestyle Glamour, Luxury, Golf Hubs, Beach Clubs, Modern Urbanizations. Authentic, Nature-focused, Cliffs, Traditional villages.
Property Type Prime Villas, Gated Communities with SPA, Modern Penthouses. White-washed houses, Fincas with sea views, Traditional apartments.
Key Hubs Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís, Mijas. Nerja, Torrox, Vélez-Målaga, Rincón.

The Golden Triangle

This is Spain's most exclusive residential zone, formed by Marbella, Estepona, and BenahavĂ­s.

  • Marbella The icon of luxury shopping, Michelin-starred dining, and yachting.
  • BenahavĂ­s The wealthiest municipality in Spain, a haven for hillside mega-mansions.
  • Estepona The 'Garden of the Costa del Sol', blending Spanish soul with modern infrastructure.

Tax Advantages in Andalusia

This is a crucial factor for your budget. The Andalusian government has implemented aggressive tax cuts to attract foreign capital.

📉 ITP Reduced to 7%: The Transfer Tax (for resale properties) is a flat 7% in Andalusia (compared to 10% in the neighboring Costa Blanca region). On a €300,000 purchase, that is a direct saving of €9,000!

The 'Costa del Golf'

With over 70 courses, this is the highest concentration of golf courses in continental Europe. Legendary names like Valderrama (Sotogrande) and Finca Cortesin (Casares) ensure high occupancy rates for rental properties throughout the winter months.

Malaga: The New Tech Hub

The capital, Malaga, has transformed. With the Picasso Museum, the Pompidou Centre, the revamped port (Muelle Uno), and the arrival of Google's cybersecurity HQ, it is now a major cultural and business hub for remote workers and investors.

Malaga International Airport (AGP)

Accessibility is key. The airport serves over 100 destinations. The local train (CercanĂ­as) allows you to travel from the airport to Malaga center or down to Fuengirola cheaply and efficiently, making car-free ownership possible.
