Many people feel that Marbella and other resorts on the
Costa del Sol, provide the best return for a number of reasons.
As the primary area for permanent or temporary relocation,
the region has benefited from massive investment over the
past five years.
Infastructure
The Costa del Sol highway system enables you to drive along miles of impressive roads in the shortest possible time - way ahead in terms of development when compared with other coasts It now only takes 30 min via the new motorway from Malaga Airport to Estepona whereas it used to take almost an hour on the N340.
Close proximity
Close proximity of Malaga and Gibraltar airports to other European Capitals is a definite plus and represents the ideal location for ‘pop over’ visits to check out your property.
Sunshine
With a unique micro-climate (a completely different climate to other parts of Spain including the Costa Blanca for example) of 360 sunshine days a year - with temperatures in the mid 20’s in November and into December
Golf
There are 40 superb golf courses in total with 12 of the most famous in Europe located in and around the Marbella district - three distinct areas are GOLF VALLEY (Puerto Banus area - Nueva Andalucia); COSTA DEL GOLF (Elviria and Las Chapas area East Marbella) and MIJAS (South of Malaga). There is a clear reason that this stretch of the coast is also known as the Costa del Golf as you do not have to go far at all without passing a golf course. With all courses fully equipped for the seasoned golfers who regularly come to enjoy the perfect balance of sunshine and a round of golf, the Costa del Sol offers the perfect location for picking up the latest golf equipment, a late autumn break for your golfing holiday or for the location of a second home to make sure you take up the full benefits of the local courses.
Entertainment
Theatre, concerts, entertainment, exclusive shopping, restaurants, yachting facilities, night life, lack of language barriers (with English and German spoken freely and easily) along with top quality service at every level makes living or holidaying in Marbella a truly refreshing experience.
Tourist Market

Golfing season lasts 8 months (30 weeks) - SUN Market (lasts 8-10 weeks). Golfers and Sun worshippers visiting the area tend to have more disposable income than the average tourist - an important consideration for investors looking to rent their property.
Quality of Life

An important consideration for those who may went to settle there or spend at least two-three months of the year in their second home. The wonderful Andalucian countryside is second to none and there is no reason to think that the Costa del Sol doesn't offer luscious greenery as well as many tourist resorts.

If your usual holiday is in Cumbrian Cottages in the UK Lake District, coming here will certainly not disappoint.
