Rio Real Properties for Sale

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.

The sun drops behind La Concha at around nine on a June evening, and the terrace at Trocadero Arena shifts registers almost immediately. The hammocks have been folded away, the kitchen is into its evening stride, and the DJ — quiet through the lunch service — finds a volume that carries just far enough across the sand without competing with the conversation. This is the version of Trocadero Arena that the daytime photographs do not quite capture, and the version that anyone considering a property on the Marbella east side should know exists.

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.
