La Zagaleta
A gated estate of 900 hectares in the cork oak hills above Marbella, La Zagaleta pairs two private golf courses, an equestrian centre and a heliport with round-the-clock security. Villas are large and well spaced, with views stretching to Gibraltar and, on clear days, the African coast.

Golden Mile
Marbella's Golden Mile links the old town with Puerto Banús: palm-lined avenues, beach clubs and the Marbella Club at its heart. Just uphill, Sierra Blanca's gated villas sit beneath La Concha, with the Mediterranean a few minutes' drive below.

Puerto Banus
Puerto Banús pairs a superyacht marina and designer boutiques with the quieter villa country of Nueva Andalucia just inland, where golf courses and views of La Concha set the pace. Expect late dinners, beach clubs and private-pool villas only minutes from the harbour.

When to Visit
June to September is generally the best time to visit Marbella for a beach-led villa holiday. Average highs rise from 28°C in June to 31°C in August, nights typically stay around 20°C–23°C, and July and August usually record almost no rain. September keeps much of that warmth, with highs of around 27°C and only a modest rise in rainfall.
May and October are milder, typically 23°C–24°C by day, and tend to suit travellers who want warmth without the heat of high summer. Between November and March, highs usually sit at 16°C–20°C and rainfall is at its highest, with March the wettest month on average.
