Costa del Sol is not just home to historic white villages or Marbella’s Golden Mile but it is also home to some of the most coveted beachfront properties in Europe. The region has one of the highest concentrations of Blue Flag beaches in Spain. The Foundation of Environmental Education (FEE), a non-governmental organisation, awards a Blue Flag to beaches with good-quality water and excellent environmental conditions. With steady growth in demand, particularly by international buyers wanting luxury and leisure, owning a beachfront here doesn't just mean buying property but rather it’s an investment in the ultimate lifestyle.

According to the report presented by the Spanish Registrars Association, foreign investment in properties within Costa del Sol has increased by 15 per cent over the last year. These investments have been fueled by the region's perfect blend of beautiful landscapes, modern facilities, and a climate that enables people to engage in both indoor and outdoor activities throughout the year.
