Some places can only be truly appreciated when viewed from the water. East Marbella is a perfect example of this. From the boat, you can see how the coastline changes: wide sandy beaches, green dunes, but also lively residential areas and villas on the hills.
This area stretches from Río Real to Cabopino, just east of the city center, and forms the transition between Marbella and the coast towards Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas.
East Marbella has a relaxed rhythm, but it is still lively. Elviria and El Rosario are bustling with beach clubs, schools, and local shops, while higher up in Altos de Los Monteros you will find modern apartments and villas with sweeping sea views. Along the coast are nature reserves such as the Artola dunes and the beaches of Los Monteros and Bahía de Marbella.
East Marbella, between town and sea
For those who love a stylish beach experience, there are Luuma, Oyana, Noso, Bono Dunes, and Moosa Bay. For authentic Andalusian beach life, there are Los Sardinales, Merendero Cristina, and Trocadero Arena. And those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere will feel at home at El Kiosko or Hippopotamus, with their surf vibe, bare feet in the sand, and sunsets that always turn into lively gatherings.
East Marbella was one of the first residential areas to be developed in Marbella. Many homes are now being renovated to modern standards, with light interiors, open spaces, and contemporary finishes. The real estate market is diverse, ranging from villas in need of refurbishment to completely renovated designer homes or modern apartments.
East Marbella combines space, tranquility, and accessibility with a real estate market that is constantly changing. Those who love the sea, larger plots, and a mix of authentic and renovated properties will discover one of the most balanced areas in all of Marbella here.
