Old Town Properties for Sale

Marbella’s La Bajadilla harbour is moving from a 268-berth working port towards an approximately 750-berth marina backed by more than €200 million of planned investment. The property story is not a guaranteed uplift: it is what a much larger waterfront amenity could change for central and eastern Marbella.

Río Real Golf’s second phase has entered public consultation with capacity for 428 homes across almost 47.3 hectares. The bigger story is what the plan says about where Marbella can still grow without losing space, greenery and proximity to the city.

Marbella had 173,420 registered residents at the start of 2026 and residents from 155 nationalities. As the new school year begins, the city’s international schools and sharply different family neighbourhoods show why Marbella increasingly works as a permanent base rather than only a second-home resort.
