Nueva Andalucía is located in the valley behind Puerto Banús, featuring three of Marbella’s most renowned golf courses, with La Concha mountain forming a spectacular backdrop to the north. It is one of Marbella’s most popular areas for those seeking a detached villa with a private garden while still being close to amenities such as supermarkets, schools, restaurants and sports clubs.
It’s a combination that has made it as relevant to families relocating to Marbella full-time as it is to second-home buyers.
Villas here range from older properties with extensive plots and renovation potential to fully renovated homes and modern, high-tech new builds. Below, discover Kore Estates’ current listings in Nueva Andalucía, along with our area guide, price ranges and what to anticipate when buying.
Villa prices in Nueva Andalucía in 2026
Nueva Andalucía offers one of Marbella’s most diverse villa markets, where the price difference between older renovation projects and top-tier modern homes can exceed several million euros.
In 2026, the entry point for a detached villa in Nueva Andalucía is around €1.3 million to €1.5 million. Properties at this level do come to market, although choice is relatively limited and buyers should expect compromises in condition, plot size or location. From around €2 million, the selection broadens considerably, particularly for renovated and better-positioned homes.
From approximately €2.5 million to €6 million, the market opens up significantly. This range includes renovated family villas, larger established properties and increasingly high-specification contemporary homes. Plot size, orientation, privacy and views become increasingly important to value, as does the quality of a refurbishment. A genuinely comprehensive renovation is a very different proposition from a cosmetic update on an older villa.
At the upper end, €6 million-plus is established territory for Nueva Andalucía’s prime villas. Frontline golf positions, substantial plots, privacy, sea or golf views and exceptional new-build or comprehensively reconstructed homes command the strongest prices. Kore Estates currently lists a six-bedroom frontline Los Naranjos Golf villa at €5.995 million, with 840 m² built on a 1,500 m² plot, while this contemporary villa in Nueva Andalucía is marketed at €6.5 million.
In the last two to three years, prices have generally increased, particularly for high-quality renovated and turnkey villas. Nonetheless, buyers remain selective, valuing plot, location, architecture and build quality as key factors that justify paying a premium.
Sub-areas of Nueva Andalucía
La Cerquilla
La Cerquilla occupies one of the most prestigious positions in the Golf Valley and has become particularly associated with expansive contemporary villas. Plots tend to be generous, streets are predominantly residential and several properties sit within gated settings, creating greater privacy than in the busier parts of Nueva Andalucía.
This is one of the area’s most expensive villa markets, with high-specification homes typically running into several million euros and the best new-build properties considerably higher. Buyers are often looking for a primary or substantial second home rather than simply proximity to Puerto Banús. The appeal is the combination of space and privacy while remaining firmly within Nueva Andalucía.
Las Brisas
Las Brisas has a mature, established character centred on Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. Leafy streets, mature gardens and older villas give it a distinct feel compared with the newer parts of Nueva Andalucía.
The housing options are diverse. Buyers can choose from original villas, extensively renovated properties from the 1980s, or homes that have been almost completely rebuilt to modern standards. Properties located directly on the golf course tend to be more expensive, especially when they offer privacy and unobstructed views of the course.
Prices vary accordingly, but Las Brisas sits firmly within the prime Nueva Andalucía villa market.
Aloha
Aloha is particularly popular with families. Aloha College is located here, while Aloha Golf Club, restaurants, sports facilities and everyday amenities are all close by.
The villa market ranges from established houses with renovation potential to sophisticated contemporary homes and frontline golf properties. Prices therefore cover a relatively broad range, although the best positions command several million euros.
The area’s year-round residential population is important. This is not simply a holiday-home neighbourhood, and its combination of schools, golf, restaurants and proximity to Puerto Banús also supports strong rental demand.
Los Naranjos
Los Naranjos combines a well-established residential setting with one of the Golf Valley’s three principal courses, Los Naranjos Golf Club.
Older villas on sizeable plots can be found, although redevelopment has transformed a number of streets, with original houses being renovated or replaced with contemporary homes. This can make Los Naranjos good value relative to the most expensive parts of neighbouring La Cerquilla, while still offering access to the same Golf Valley lifestyle.
Frontline golf is a market in its own right. Kore Estates currently has a six-bedroom villa directly overlooking Los Naranjos Golf listed at €5.995 million.
El Dorado and lower Nueva Andalucía
Closer to El Dorado, La Campana and the lower parts of Nueva Andalucía, the setting becomes more residential and connected to everyday amenities. There is a greater mix of apartments, townhouses and villas here, with shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and other services close at hand.
Towards the southern end of Nueva Andalucía, Centro Plaza and the Saturday market are within easy reach, while Puerto Banús can be reached on foot from some locations. La Campana, further west, has developed into a busy local hub in its own right, with an increasingly good choice of places to eat and everyday services.
For buyers looking for a villa but who value convenience alongside space and privacy, these parts of Nueva Andalucía can offer a practical alternative to the more car-dependent residential areas around the golf courses.
Living in Nueva Andalucía
Nueva Andalucía works particularly well because it is positioned between a resort location and a genuine residential neighbourhood.
Puerto Banús is immediately to the south, typically about five minutes by car from central Nueva Andalucía, and is walkable from some of the lower areas. San Pedro Alcántara and Marbella centre are generally around 10 to 15 minutes away by car, depending on where you live and traffic, while Málaga Airport is approximately 45 minutes away.
Golf is a defining part of the area. Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, Los Naranjos Golf Club and Aloha Golf Club form the core of Marbella’s Golf Valley, putting three established courses within a relatively compact residential area.
Families also have Aloha College within Nueva Andalucía itself. Swans International School, Laude San Pedro International College and several other international and bilingual schools are within driving distance.
Day-to-day life is equally practical. There are major supermarkets, gyms, padel and tennis facilities and a wide choice of restaurants and cafés. The Saturday street market near Centro Plaza remains a fixture of the week and draws visitors from across Marbella. A word of caution: it’s very popular, so the streets near the market can become very busy. If you’re not planning to explore on your own, it’s best to avoid the area during market hours.
Nueva Andalucía consequently suits villa buyers who want space, a garden and residential surroundings without becoming isolated from Marbella’s amenities.
Buying a villa in Nueva Andalucía
The purchase price is only part of the cost of buying a villa in Nueva Andalucía.
For a resale property in Andalucía, the general Property Transfer Tax (ITP) rate is currently 7%. New residential property bought from a developer is generally subject to Value Added Tax (IVA) rather than ITP, with Stamp Duty (AJD) also applicable. Buyers should additionally budget for legal fees, notary costs and Land Registry expenses.
Renovation projects require particular care. An attractive purchase price can quickly become less compelling if the proposed extension or redevelopment cannot be licensed. Before committing, buyers should establish the property’s legal status, check that existing construction corresponds with the registered documentation and review planning permissions, IBI payments and any applicable community position.
Rental potential is another consideration. Nueva Andalucía has strong demand for both holiday and longer-term rentals, but buyers intending to rent should check the licensing and community rules applying to the individual property before relying on projected income.
An experienced local agent can also help distinguish between properties that appear comparable online but occupy very different positions in reality. In Nueva Andalucía, the particular street, orientation, neighbouring properties and even which side of a golf course a villa occupies can materially affect both lifestyle and long-term value.
FAQs
How much does a villa in Nueva Andalucía cost?
A realistic starting point in 2026 is around €1.3 million to €1.5 million, although choice at this level is limited. Renovated villas and homes in stronger positions commonly move into the €2.5 million to €5 million range, while prime frontline golf and contemporary properties can exceed €5 million.
Is Nueva Andalucía a good area to invest in?
Nueva Andalucía benefits from limited prime land, international demand and proximity to Puerto Banús, golf, schools and amenities. These characteristics support both resale and rental demand, although individual property selection remains important. Location, plot and build quality can have a significant effect on performance.
Can you walk to Puerto Banús from Nueva Andalucía?
From lower Nueva Andalucía, yes. Areas around Centro Plaza and El Dorado are particularly convenient for reaching Puerto Banús on foot. From La Cerquilla, Las Brisas and other parts of Golf Valley, most residents generally drive.
Which part of Nueva Andalucía is best for families?
Aloha is particularly convenient because Aloha College is located within the area and there are sports facilities, restaurants and amenities nearby. Las Brisas, Los Naranjos and La Cerquilla are also popular with families looking for larger villas and quieter residential surroundings.
Are the villas freehold?
Detached villas in Nueva Andalucía are generally sold freehold. However, buyers should always have their lawyer verify the title, Land Registry information and any charges or restrictions affecting the individual property before completion.
Can I rent out a villa in Nueva Andalucía?
Potentially, yes, and the area attracts strong demand for holidays and long-term rentals. However, short-term rental regulations and the rules affecting individual properties and communities need to be checked before purchasing specifically for rental purposes.
What are the annual running costs of a villa here?
Running costs vary considerably depending on the size of the property, plot, pool and garden, as well as the community. Owners should budget for IBI, rubbish charges, insurance, utilities, pool and garden maintenance and, where applicable, community fees.
Is it better to buy a renovation project or a finished villa?
That depends on your priorities. A renovation project can offer the opportunity to create a property around your own requirements and potentially add value, but the cost, timescale and planning position need careful assessment. A finished villa provides greater certainty and can be used immediately, but that convenience is normally reflected in the asking price.
How long does the purchase take?
A straightforward resale purchase can often complete within several weeks once terms have been agreed, although the timetable depends on legal due diligence, financing and the circumstances of both parties. More complex properties or purchases involving planning and legal checks can take longer.
