“Incredibly happy with Bianca, who helped us find our dream house. Extremely professional.”

“My experience with Omèr was fantastic. His professionalism and dedication were key to finding our house.”
A ground floor apartment is the one home in Nueva Andalucía that hands you a private garden without the upkeep of a whole villa. Instead of a balcony, you get a slab of usable outdoor space off the living room — room for a proper table, a barbecue, sun loungers and often a patch of lawn — while the pool, the gardeners and the security stay the community's job. That trade-off is why ground floors sell quickly here, and why we'll always tell you when one is priced as if the garden were twice the size it is.
You'll find them threaded through the Golf Valley urbanisations between the Aloha, Los Naranjos and Las Brisas golf courses — Aloha Park, Aloha Gardens, Los Granados Golf, Los Naranjos and La Dama de Noche among them. The format is consistent: two or three bedrooms is the sweet spot (the odd four-bed corner unit turns up), built sizes generally run from the mid-90s past 160 square metres before you count the terrace and garden, and orientation decides everything. South and south-west units catch sun across the garden all afternoon; a north-facing ground floor can feel cool and dim by comparison, so we always check which way the garden actually faces before anyone gets excited. If you'd like help weighing one up, drop us a line.
Nueva Andalucía sits in the natural bowl behind Puerto Banús, bordered by the Sierra Blanca mountains to the north and the AP-7 to the south. The neighbourhood was master-planned in the early 1970s around the three golf courses that still anchor it: Aloha to the east, Las Brisas at the centre and Los Naranjos to the west. Forty years later, the trees have matured, the streets are quiet, and the area has settled into being one of Marbella's most desirable family addresses.
The neighbourhood skews international and family-led — Dutch, Belgian, Scandinavian, British and increasingly Middle-Eastern owners. Many are full-time residents, often with children at Aloha College or Swans International School (both inside the neighbourhood). The pace is calm: a working pueblo at Aloha with a Saturday market, a handful of restaurants and the Centro Plaza shopping centre on the southern edge. It's the kind of place where you do the morning school run by bike.
You'll find three broad villa generations here. The Andalusian-style 1980s villas on big plots, often with terracotta roofs and beamed ceilings — beautiful bones, frequently in need of renovation. The 'transition' 1990s and 2000s villas that updated the layout but kept some traditional language. And the contemporary new-builds of the last decade — open-plan, oversized glazing, infinity pools, often architect-led. Plot sizes run from around 1,000 m² in the lower neighbourhoods to 3,000 m²+ in Las Brisas and La Cerquilla.
Entry is around €1.8M for an older 3-to-4-bed villa needing some work. €3M to €6M is the most active band, where you'd expect a 4-to-5-bed modern family villa with a pool and views over the Golf Valley. Above €8M you're typically into frontline-golf positions or recent architectural new-builds in Las Brisas. The top of the market runs to €15M and beyond. Per square metre, Nueva Andalucía has appreciated roughly 8–10% a year over the last five years.
The neighbourhood is built for low-key, day-to-day living rather than marina nightlife. Aloha College is the largest international school inside Nueva Andalucía, with the British curriculum and consistent Russell Group outcomes; Swans International is just on the edge. The Centro Plaza and El Corte Inglés are minutes away, the marina is 5 minutes by car, and Málaga airport is a comfortable 45-minute drive. The beach at Puerto Banús is 7–9 minutes — close enough to be casual, far enough to be quiet.
We know this neighbourhood street by street. Several of our properties never reach the open market — they're shared first with our newsletter and the families we already represent. If you'd like a private list of off-market villas in Nueva Andalucía, just drop us a line.

For a two- or three-bedroom ground floor apartment with a private garden in the Golf Valley urbanisations, you'd typically expect a band from around the high €500,000s to roughly €1.2 million. Renovated, well-oriented units in communities such as Aloha Park or Los Granados Golf sit at the top of that range; older apartments in more original condition come in lower. A garden in good order with the right orientation carries a clear premium over an upper-floor unit of the same size.
Two and three bedrooms is the most common layout, usually with two bathrooms, though four-bed corner units exist. Interior built area generally runs from the mid-90s to over 160 square metres, excluding the terrace and private garden — which on a ground floor adds substantial usable outdoor space on top. The strongest concentration sits in the Golf Valley: Aloha Park, Los Granados Golf, Los Naranjos, Aloha Gardens and La Dama de Noche near Puerto Banús, each with its own character on aspect, garden size and service charges.
Three groups mainly: families wanting a safe garden for children without taking on a villa; downsizers and older buyers who'd rather avoid stairs and lifts; and lock-up-and-leave owners and investors drawn by gated security, professional garden upkeep and year-round rental demand from golfers and holidaymakers. The honest downsides: a north-facing ground floor can be cooler and darker, privacy and security from the garden are worth checking, and you miss the long sea and La Concha views an upper floor or penthouse would give — we'll tell you when that matters and when the garden outweighs it.
Villas in Nueva Andalucía typically trade between €1.8M for an older property to refurbish and €15M+ for a contemporary frontline-golf villa in Las Brisas. The most active band is €3M to €6M, where you'd expect a 4-to-5-bedroom modern family villa with a pool and views over the Golf Valley.
Yes — it is one of the most family-oriented areas on the Costa del Sol. Aloha College and Swans International School are both inside the neighbourhood, Puerto Banús and the beach are 5–8 minutes by car, and the streets are quiet and tree-lined.
Driving from the centre of Nueva Andalucía to Puerto Banús takes 4–6 minutes; the beach is 7–9 minutes. Several streets in the lower part of the neighbourhood are walking distance to both.
Three: Aloha, Los Naranjos and Las Brisas — together they form Marbella's Golf Valley. Several of our villas are frontline-golf with course-view terraces.
Yes. We handle a small number of new-build and off-plan villa projects in the area, typically delivered 12–24 months from reservation. We carefully vet every project and only list developers we'd recommend to a friend.
