Los Monteros: an exclusive residential area in Marbella
Los Monteros is one of the most sought-after locations on the Costa del Sol, particularly in the eastern part of Marbella. The area’s abundant space and exclusivity have made it a highly desirable destination for affluent buyers. Originally developed in the 1960s, the plots on which some of Marbella’s most luxurious villas are built were designed to maintain privacy and security. Now a mature urbanisation, there are no more plots available for development, making it a consolidated and highly coveted area.
Prestigious location
Los Monteros has long been a prestigious area, attracting international clients who seek a beachside home in Marbella. One of its most famous residents is Hollywood actor and Spanish icon Antonio Banderas, who owns a luxurious property in the area. The exclusivity and natural beauty of Los Monteros have cemented its position as one of the most desirable locations in Marbella.
Los Monteros amenities and attractions
Nestled between the Mediterranean coast and the coastal motorway, Los Monteros is home to the renowned Hotel Los Monteros Spa & Golf Resort and the newly inaugurated La Cabane Beach Club, which hosted an opening event for Dolce & Gabbana in July 2023. Playa de Los Monteros, a popular beach, has earned the prestigious Blue Flag certification for its high standards of cleanliness, safety, and environmental management.
With an affluent clientele and abundant space, Los Monteros continues to be a premier destination for those seeking an exclusive lifestyle on the Costa del Sol.
