Description
The Golden Mile is the most prestigious stretch of land on the Costa del Sol and extends for approximately five kilometers between the center of Marbella and the Puerto Banús marina.
It originated in the 1950s when Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe opened the iconic Marbella Club, which heralded the transformation of a modest fishing village into a meeting point for the global jet set. The climate is blessed with a unique microclimate thanks to La Concha mountain, which provides mild winters and pleasant summers with a constant sea breeze from the Mediterranean Sea.
The main attractions are the historic Marbella Club Hotel, the lush gardens of the Puente Romano Resort, and the beautiful promenade that runs directly along the coastline. The gastronomy on the Golden Mile is world-class with an enormous concentration of Michelin stars and trendy restaurants ranging from authentic Mediterranean flavors to innovative international fusion dishes. Although the strip itself is located on the beach, the region's best golf courses, such as those in the nearby Golf Valley of Nueva Andalucía, are just a few minutes' drive away.
The residents form a cosmopolitan elite of aristocrats, celebrities, and successful business people who value the highest degree of privacy and the exceptional security of the gated villa estates. The surroundings are characterized by stately palaces, subtropical gardens, and the iconic silhouette of the mountain range that forms a majestic backdrop for the crystal-clear water. Living on the Golden Mile offers unprecedented advantages, including direct access to the most exclusive facilities, a timeless real estate value, and a lifestyle that is globally seen as the pinnacle of European luxury.
