Marbella · Golden Mile · Costa del Sol
The most glamorous marina address on the Costa del Sol. From waterfront apartments to gated villas, Puerto Banús offers a choice for every buyer seeking real estate in Marbella's most iconic neighbourhood.
Set between the Golden Mile and San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús pairs a world-famous marina with quiet residential streets just minutes away. Here, the Sierra Blanca foothills meet the Mediterranean, creating a microclimate blessed with over 320 days of sunshine a year.
It is a setting that keeps demand for Puerto Banús real estate consistently high. For most buyers, the address holds as much value as the home itself.
Residents of Puerto Banús don't just eat; they embark on gastronomic journeys. From the superyacht-lined marina promenade to the authentic 'chiringuitos' serving freshly caught fish by the sea, the culinary standard is world-class. As evening falls, the marina comes alive again, with cocktail bars, live music terraces and a see-and-be-seen crowd that has made Puerto Banús synonymous with nightlife on the Costa del Sol.
Inspired by the Marbella Club's founding philosophy of understated, barefoot luxury, life here moves at a different pace. Whether it is a thalassotherapy session overlooking the waves, a round of golf at a world-famous course, or simply enjoying 'sobremesa' under the jasmine vines — Puerto Banús offers a balanced, luxurious lifestyle. Marbella has become a magnet for the world's most prestigious design houses, with major collaborations already complete or underway with Dolce & Gabbana, Bentley, Karl Lagerfeld, Versace, Fendi Casa, Elie Saab, and Lamborghini — each bringing its signature aesthetic to exclusive residential developments nearby. Alongside these, landmark hospitality projects from Four Seasons, St. Regis, and Banyan Tree are taking shape along the coast.
That said, we understand that branded living is not for everyone. Many of our most discerning buyers prefer quiet, unbranded luxury — beautiful homes with exceptional finishes but no fashion logos. Others are successful professionals, families, or retirees looking for a well-priced property with sea views and a pool, within a sensible budget. At Luxury Realty, we serve all of these buyers with equal dedication.
Please talk to us about your requirements, and we will match you with properties in the neighbourhoods that actually deliver on your brief.
Buying property abroad involves more moving parts than most people expect. The search is the exciting bit. After that comes the NIE application, the mortgage paperwork, the transfer tax and the notary fees — and that's before you have unpacked a single box. We have been through this process with clients many times over, and we know exactly where things can get complicated.
At Luxury Realty, we walk with you through all of it. Our team helps with everything from sourcing the right Puerto Banús property to consulting on legal and technical matters, helping with mortgage applications, opening a Spanish bank account, and managing the full documentation process. Whether you want a marina-view apartment, a townhouse in Nueva Andalucía, or a penthouse with Mediterranean views above Los Monteros, we can help. Complete confidentiality throughout. That's a given.
Our listings span new builds and resale properties across Puerto Banús and its surrounding neighbourhoods, at every price point. Every property we recommend has passed our own screening. We work exclusively with trusted developers and law firms. If it does not meet the mark, it does not reach our clients. It's as simple as that.

The Properties
The Puerto Banús properties we present at Luxury Realty have been carefully screened. We work only with reliable developers, and it shows in what these properties deliver:
Home automation, advanced security systems, and the kind of tech integration that actually makes daily life easier, not just impressive on paper.
The marina and the Mediterranean Sea on one side, the Sierra Blanca on the other. Many of our listings give you both.
Custom finishes, premium materials, and spaces designed with a discerning eye. We have seen a lot of properties across Puerto Banús — the quality difference is real.
Private pools, landscaped gardens, and generous terraces made for long lunches and easy evenings. In Puerto Banús's climate, these are not extras. They are essentials.
Costs & Budgeting
The purchase price is just the starting point. Below is a clear breakdown of the costs you should expect as an individual, which can vary for EU residents/non-EU residents. Rates below are correct as of August 2026. This is just a guide, and you must have your legal and tax representatives confirm figures to you in writing before any purchase.
Spanish banks typically lend 60–70% of property value to non-residents, with rates from approximately 2.5–3% per annum over up to 30 years. We assist with the full application, Spanish bank account, and NIE number.
| Cost Type | Resale Property | New Build |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer Tax (ITP) | 7% | Not applicable |
| VAT (IVA) | Not applicable | 10% of property value |

If you are a UK citizen, there is a recent change you need to be aware of before purchasing:
The 90/180-day rule: As a non-EU citizen, you can only spend 90 days out of any 180-day period in the Schengen zone (which includes Spain) without a visa. If you plan to spend more than three months per year in your Puerto Banús home, you will need to apply for a specific visa (such as a Non-Lucrative Residence Visa or Digital Nomad Visa).
We can advise you on the visa options that best suit your circumstances and connect you with a list of specialist immigration lawyers, tax lawyers and accountants for you to choose from.

Common Questions
We do the legwork. At Luxury Realty, we search and shortlist properties based on exactly what you are after, arrange viewings, and walk you through every step from offer to ownership. We have spent years in Puerto Banús's property market and can meet almost any demand a client brings to us — whether you are looking for a branded residence, a discreet family home, or a smart investment. Every property we recommend has passed our own screening. We work exclusively with reliable developers, so you are seeing the best of what's genuinely available.
Our listings cover villas, townhouses, penthouses, and apartments across Puerto Banús and its most sought-after surrounding areas. Marina-front apartments, sea-view penthouses, new builds, resale properties — the range is wide. Whether you are drawn to the port itself, Nueva Andalucía, or quieter residential pockets further out, we will have something worth your time, at every price point.
Yes, and it's one of the areas where having local expertise genuinely pays off. For non-resident buyers: Spanish mortgages typically cover 60–70% of the property value (residents may achieve up to 80%, but non-residents rarely exceed 70%). Interest rates currently start from approximately 2.5–3% per annum, depending on the lender and your financial profile, over terms of up to 30 years.
We can put you in touch with expert mortgage brokers and mortgage managers in local banks. Most lawyers will carry this out for the client for a small extra fee, along with your NIE number (the tax number).
We assist with the mortgage application process and can guide you through the full documentation requirements. We also help open a Spanish bank account and obtain your NIE number, so the practical side moves as smoothly as it should.
It has its layers, but that's precisely what we are here for. We provide consulting, technical, and legal support on all property-related matters, handle document submission, and offer full confidentiality throughout the transaction. We work only with trusted law firms in Spain, so the legal side is covered by people who know Spanish property law inside out. Most of our international clients find the process far more straightforward than they had anticipated — which, frankly, is the whole point.
