Nagüeles

Glamour, style, and space

Nagüeles was one of the first residential areas to develop along the Golden Mile and continues to exude glamour and style. As a long-established district, it benefits from mature vegetation and provides a quieter, greener environment slightly set back from the coastal strip. Built before the market really took off, the homes in this area enjoy more individual space around them, making it an attractive proposition for investors. Properties located on the higher slopes of the Sierra Blanca mountains offer superb sea views, adding to the appeal.

The well-known Büchinger health clinic is conveniently located here, alongside luxury apartments and townhouses in newer gated developments. These properties are designed to a high standard, with landscaped communal gardens and swimming pools. Privacy is paramount in Nagüeles, easily achieved in such a serene and spacious setting.

Affordable luxury and renovation potential

Nagüeles remains close to all amenities, but its suburban location means property prices are relatively reasonable, making it a solid financial investment. Recently, several new properties have joined the more established ones, but while older homes may lack the pristine appearance of newly-built properties, they offer great potential for renovation. Buyers have the opportunity to develop their vision and enhance both the value of the homes and their grounds, with options for landscaping and adding private swimming pools. Engel & Völkers Marbella, located on the Golden Mile, offers expert advice on renovation possibilities and practicalities for properties in Nagüeles.

A prestigious location near Marbella's Golden Mile

The elegant Golden Mile runs between Marbella's town centre and the lively Puerto Banús marina, famous for its luxury yachts available for hire. Just four kilometres from the town, Playa de Nagüeles is one of the top beaches along this stretch. Spanning 800 metres, it runs parallel to the new Paseo Marítimo, extending to the beach clubs of Playa de Casablanca and Playa de Trocadero. The beach is cleaned daily and is ideal for families, with shallow waters and lifeguard patrols, making it an attractive location for visitors, property buyers, and investors alike.

Luxury hotels, golf courses, and more

Top accommodations in the area include the Puente Romano Hotel, offering luxurious rooms, suites, and private terraces, as well as the chance to dine at chef Dani Garcia's Michelin-starred restaurant. Alternatively, the classic Marbella Club Hotel, once the home of Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, offers golf, beach club, and spa services in addition to 37 rooms, 78 suites, and 14 traditional villas.

The surrounding golf courses attract enthusiasts, and there are numerous opportunities for cycling and yacht rentals. Tennis fans can take advantage of the famous Puente Romano Tennis Club, managed for years by tennis legends like Bjorn Borg and Manolo Santana.

Natural beauty and rich history

The Sierra Blanca mountain range, providing breath-taking views for residents, forms the backdrop to Nagüeles. The area's proximity to La Concha (the Shell Mountain) and its parkland, covering 10,000 hectares of olive, carob, and pine trees, further adds to its desirability. The park offers barbecue facilities, picnic tables, and a youth hostel, while a hermitage chapel honours Marbella's patron saint, St Barnabé, and hosts the annual pilgrimage.

Nagüeles, also known as Rocío de Nagüeles, has a rich history dating back to the Palaeolithic era. It has been influenced by Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish civilisations. The historic Plaza de los Naranjos in Marbella's Old Town, with its 15th-century buildings and a stone fountain, offers a glimpse of the area's cultural heritage.
