It’s no secret that Marbella is the leader in luxury Spanish holidays. With the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle, an ample amount of ultra-safe and secure communities, as well as an extensive range of private and exclusive venues for socialising, dining and shopping, Marbella is the destination for the rich and famous on the Costa del Sol.  

So well-renowned for its luxury and lavishness, whether you’re taking a stroll on the paseo, or you’re stopping for a spot of lunch in Puerto Banús, you may very well rub shoulders with some of the world’s most famous faces whilst you’re out and about.

Let’s take a look at some celebrities who have invested in luxury properties in Marbella over the years.

Antonio Banderas

The Málaga-born actor may have been in some of Hollywood’s most popular movies, but Antonio Banderas is still very much involved in his hometown. During Semana Santa (Easter Week in Spain), you may find him participating in some of the many processions in Málaga City, alongside members of his family who still reside in the area. He currently owns a gorgeous beachfront residence in the Los Monteros area of Marbella.

Eva Longoria

Having discovered her love for Marbella through her friend Melanie Griffith, Eva Longoria has long been a part of the Marbella community. Until May 2023, the Desperate Housewives star had previously stayed in various luxury residences across Marbella, including Villas de Aloha, the Meliá Don Pepe Hotel and Puente Romano during her trips to the area. However, she has now committed to investing in Marbella, purchasing a property close to the prestigious Puerto Banús. 

Simon Cowell

Love him or hate him, British TV star Simon Cowell previously owned a stunning property in the leafy Sierra Blanca area of Marbella. Referred to as the ‘Beverly Hills of Spain’, Cowell would bring his X-Factor contestants to his luxury abode as part of the ‘Judges Houses’ stage of the show to perform for him.

Rod Stewart

International music icon Rod Stewart is said to own a property within the ultra-luxurious La Zagaleta community. Nestled in the hills of Benahavís, La Zagaleta is one of Spain’s most exclusive communities in Spain, famed for its stunning mansions, premier golf courses and unparalleled privacy. Having performed at Starlite Marbella over the summer of 2023, Rod Stewart can often be found enjoying quality time with his family at the beach.

Lord Alan Sugar

Apprentice TV star and businessman Lord Alan Sugar has owned property in Marbella since the 1970s. In 2015, Luxury Villa Sales had the pleasure of helping him sell his prestigious beachfront villa on the renowned Golden Mile.

Como alguien que en general ha tenido malas experiencias con agentes inmobiliarios en Marbella y que no ha tenido reparos en decirlo, me gustaría reconocer el excelente trabajo que LVS hizo por mí al vender nuestra Villa recientemente.

Elegí LVS por la gente que trabaja allí, me gustaría nombrar a David en particular como la persona más informada y tranquilizadora, su meticulosa atención a los detalles combinada con el excelente marketing y la retroalimentación constante fueron una agradable sorpresa y superó mis expectativas. en todos los sentidos.

Todo lo que me gustaría decirle a LVS es gracias por hacer el trabajo, sigan con el buen trabajo y espero que esta revisión atraiga a compradores y vendedores más afortunados a su puerta.

Estoy muy contenta de cómo mi agente de LVS se ha ocupado de mí y de mi familia durante nuestros procesos de compra de vivienda en Marbella. Ha escuchado atentamente lo que queremos y necesitamos, y ha sugerido propiedades en las que realmente podemos vernos viviendo.

Mi agente ha sido siempre muy paciente. Aún así, ella es firme en su consejo. Su conocimiento de la propiedad también es excelente. Carin también responde rápidamente a cualquier pregunta o inquietud.

Encuentro que mi agente cree genuinamente que lo más importante es que encontremos la propiedad adecuada para nosotros. Ella realmente me pone como comprador primero. Eso lo valoro mucho en un agente.

Puedo recomendar a LVS como su agencia preferido y de confianza en el mercado de Marbella.
