Browse Costa Sunsets homes for sale across Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol.
Bianca and Omèr know the Golf Valley's streets street by street. We'll tell you honestly which sub-areas are appreciating, which villas are over-priced, and which schools have spaces this September — because we've been through it ourselves.
“They found us a frontline villa that wasn't even on the open market. Smooth, honest.”
“Three viewings, no pressure, sound advice on schools. Best agency on the coast.”
“Bianca speaks Dutch, knew our notary, and introduced us to other Dutch families nearby.”
Semi-detached houses here sit almost entirely inside the gated communities of the Golf Valley, and they exist for a particular kind of buyer: families and golf-minded second-home owners who want the room and the private garden of a villa without the maintenance bill or the price of a free-standing house. You'll find the bulk of them around Los Altos de Aloha, Aloha Gardens, Aloha Pueblo, Los Naranjos de Marbella and the Los Naranjos Country Club, with a scattering at Miragolf and along the Aloha strip. Most are corner or end units that share a single wall, so light comes in from three sides and the layout reads more like a small villa than a row house.
Expect three or four bedrooms over two or three floors, generally somewhere between 200 and 290 square metres of built space, usually with a private plot, a roof terrace or solarium, and a shared pool — often a tennis or padel court too. The newer or fully refurbished ones command the top of the band; an older property needing updating sits at the bottom. As a type, semi-detached houses in Nueva Andalucia typically run from the mid-400,000s up to around a million euros, with the keenest pricing on homes that haven't been touched in twenty years. We'll always tell you which of those are fairly priced for the work they need, and which are not.
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.
Most semi-detached houses in Nueva Andalucia have three or four bedrooms across two or three floors, with built areas generally between 200 and 290 square metres. They typically include a private garden or patio, a roof solarium, and access to communal grounds with a pool, and frequently a tennis or padel court, within a gated community.
They are concentrated in the Golf Valley gated communities: Los Altos de Aloha, Aloha Gardens, Aloha Pueblo, Los Naranjos de Marbella and the Los Naranjos Country Club, with further examples at Miragolf and along the Aloha strip. Many of these communities sit beside the Aloha, Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and La Quinta golf courses, a short drive from Puerto Banus.
As a guide, this type generally runs from the mid-400,000s to around one million euros. Older properties in need of refurbishment sit at the lower end of that band, while fully renovated homes and those with the best golf or garden positions reach the top. The semi-detached format usually offers villa-style space at a lower price than a free-standing villa nearby.
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.
