📩 [email protected] 🌐 litusestates.com In this video, I explore La Mairena, one of the Costa del Sol's most unique residential areas. If you're considering buying property near Marbella, this guide covers everything you need to know about La Mairena, including its location, history, property market, lifestyle, amenities, and who the area is best suited for. ✅ La Mairena is an exclusive hilltop urbanisation located approximately 400 metres above sea level, just 10 minutes from the coast and directly above Elviria ✅ Originally developed by Gabriel Massoud, who purchased over two million square metres of land in the 1980s with the vision of creating a low-density residential community surrounded by nature ✅ Only around 5% of the original land has been developed, with the remaining area consisting of protected cork oak forests, pine trees, and natural green spaces ✅ A peaceful environment where residents enjoy hiking, cycling, running, and walking through the surrounding forest, offering a lifestyle centred around nature ✅ One of the Costa del Sol's most private residential areas, with no commercial centre, tourist attractions, or through traffic—creating a quiet and secure atmosphere ✅ Home to the well-regarded German International School, making La Mairena a popular choice for families seeking an international education close to home ✅ A selection of apartment complexes, penthouses, townhouses, and villas, with many communities built between the late 1990s and early 2000s in a traditional Andalusian style ✅ Many properties enjoy panoramic mountain, valley, and Mediterranean Sea views, depending on their position within the urbanisation ✅ Most residential communities offer resort-style amenities, including swimming pools, landscaped gardens, gyms, and in some cases access to golf facilities ✅ Living in La Mairena requires a car, as there is no public transport serving the area and all everyday shopping is done in Elviria or other nearby coastal areas ✅ The road from Elviria is winding and the terrain throughout La Mairena is steep, making it less suitable for buyers who prioritise walkability or have mobility concerns ✅ Who La Mairena is best suited for: buyers looking for privacy, security, space, spectacular views, and a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature while remaining close to Marbella ✅ Less suited for buyers who want to walk to cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, or rely on public transport for everyday life 📩 If you're considering buying property on the Costa del Sol and would like help finding the right area and property, send me an email and let's start the conversation. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos about buying property on the Costa del Sol, neighbourhood guides, market insights, and living in southern Spain.
