Aloha - A Prime Location in Marbella

Aloha's location couldn't be better. As part of Nueva Andalucía, the biggest district in Marbella, it's close to prestigious Puerto Banús with its jet-setting lifestyle. In addition, Aloha's residents and visitors can make use of one of the best golf courses in Spain, so in terms of prime real estate, investors can't really go wrong here. If they enlist the services of market leaders Engel & Völkers, they can be sure of finding the best properties.

Both port and resort were built by Madrid-based developer José Banús Mas in the mid to late 1960s, and Nueva Andalucía's connection with the exclusive marina and its luxury yachts gives it a unique advantage that Aloha shares. The traditional Andalusian architectural style distinguishes it from other resorts in the area, and Aloha's spacious and green surroundings add to its pleasant, laid-back feel. In addition, it benefits from the availability of a wide range of accommodation options, from luxurious mansions to villas and apartments that are ideal for rentals and investments, all of which have views to die for!

The mix of locals, expats and holiday-makers from around the world, give this part of the resort a buzz that adds to its individual character and charm. Aloha's discerning clientele likes to stand out from the crowd, and this is reflected in its shops and restaurants, catering for all cultures and tastes, from Michelin stars to ethnic fusion. With all needs met in the vicinity, it suits many who prefer a local lifestyle, but those who want to venture further afield don't actually have to travel far, as it's just a short taxi ride to the clubs and nightlife of Puerto Banús - the resort's proximity to the highway makes it popular with investors in real estate.

Aloha's amenities and services are first-class, including several schools, and the well-known not-for-profit Aloha College, an international educational foundation providing schooling for ages from three to eighteen, and boasting excellent results. The college also runs summer schools. Engel & Völkers are experts on investment in Marbella, and can advise on Aloha's facilities and on the advantages of owning a property there.

Aloha's golf course is one of three in Nueva Andalucía, the other two being Los Naranjos and Las Brisas. It's a friendly well-established private club, but has hosted the PGA tour three times in the last few years. Groupings of villas and other accommodation make up the pueblo around the fairways, giving memorable vistas over the greens and the sea, with the haunting La Concha mountain as a back drop. As well as that, colourful displays of vegetation year-round make the course a joy to play on.

Although it is perhaps still less well-known to some, Aloha's relaxed atmosphere provides a pleasing anonymity that suits its residents. However, with real estate in Marbella still so sought-after, it is only a matter of time before prices rise in smaller areas, especially one with such a prestigious golf course. Now is the time to snap up a property in this area at a competitive rate, and Engel & Völkers is here to help with an investment that can only improve over time.
