It all depends on your personal situation and preferences. However, if you’re looking for some inspiration, we’d like to recommend you buy a second home in Marbella.
We’re going to be honest with you: we’re a little bit biased. We’ve been selling homes in and around Marbella for some years now, and we love the landscape, the international allure, the gentle Mediterranean climate… Everything.
And from what we hear, all our clients have fallen in love, too. And with good reason. So, if you have a minute, let us convince you why you should consider buying a second home in Marbella.
Spanish Weather
Spain is a popular holiday destination because of the lovely warm weather in summer. So, Marbella’s not that special in that respect, right? Wrong!
Located on the very southern end of Spain, it faces North Africa and enjoys the very best of the Mediterranean climate.
The weather is never too cold in winter or too hot in summer. But don’t worry because the average temperature in summer still ranges between 25 and 30 °C.
If you’re buying a second home in Spain to bask in the sun, this is your kind of town. It’s famous for its long sunshine hours – some of the highest in Europe – and enjoys its own microclimate: The high peaks of the surrounding Sierra Blanca mountain range protect the town from extreme weather, making the climate milder than neighbouring places. In fact, we think Marbella has the best weather on the Costa del Sol.

Andalusian Beauty
Marbella combines the best of many worlds – not only is it a very cosmopolitan town, it is surrounded by natural beauty. The beaches, first and foremost, are the white, sandy type of coast where you’ll love to sunbathe during the day and stroll in the evening.
But there’s also the majestic Sierra Blanca, whose valleys are home to many amazingly located villas. Buying a second home in Marbella guarantees far-reaching views of the hills, the Mediterranean and even North Africa.

It’s like home – but more special
Marbella is an international hotspot for all sorts of people from countries around the world. Some flock to the beautiful town each year for holidays, and others have made Marbella their permanent home. This international mix means there are stores and brands where you can buy familiar products from home, so you won’t miss them.
But the cosmopolitan atmosphere doesn’t mean that Marbella has lost its Spanish identity. The town is very Andalusian, allowing you to enjoy the finest traditional food and experience local festivities and fiestas, for example.
And last but not least, such a large international group also means there’s a huge number of facilities, ranging from supermarkets and medical services to restaurants and clubs.
It’s easy to travel around
If you need good connections, Marbella is one of the best places to buy a second home in Spain. It may be ‘just’ a town, but it lies in a very accessible location on the Costa del Sol with excellent travel connections.
The excellent road network gets you anywhere quickly by car, including Malaga Airport, just 25 minutes away. All this without feeling like a town overrun by traffic.
