Marbella A Sanctuary for the Rich & Famous
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. Speaking of his experience with our team, he commented, “I have found LVS to be very professional, conscientious and can highly recommend them for all your Marbella property requirements.”

Efter att ha använt dem själv har jag funnit att LVS är mycket professionell, samvetsgrann och kan starkt rekommendera dem för alla dina Marbella-fastighetskrav.
”
Som någon som har generellt dåliga erfarenheter av fastighetsmäklare i Marbella och som inte varit blyg med att säga det, skulle jag vilja erkänna det fantastiska jobbet LVS gjorde för mig att sälja vår villa nyligen.
Jag valde LVS på grund av de människor som arbetar där, jag skulle särskilt vilja nämna David som den mest kunniga och lugnande individen, hans noggranna uppmärksamhet på detaljer i kombination med utmärkt marknadsföring och ständig feedback var en trevlig överraskning och överträffade mina förväntningar på alla sätt och vis.
Allt jag vill säga till LVS är tack för att du gjort jobbet, fortsätt med det goda arbetet och jag hoppas att den här recensionen ger fler lyckliga köpare och säljare till din dörr.
Jag är väldigt nöjd med hur LVS har tagit hand om mig och min familj under våra Marbella-hemköpsprocesser. Hon har noga lyssnat på vad vi vill ha och behöver, och hon har föreslagit egenskaper som vi verkligen kan se oss själva bo i.
Carin är aldrig påträngande och överförs aldrig. Ändå är hon fast i sitt råd. Hennes egendomskunskap är också bra. Carin svarar också snabbt på frågor eller problem.
Jag tycker att Carin verkligen tror att det viktigaste är att vi hittar rätt egendom för oss. Hon sätter mig verkligen som köpare först. Jag värdesätter det så mycket i en agent.
Jag kan starkt rekommendera Carin som din föredragna och pålitliga agent på Marbella-marknaden.
Jag vill bara säga ett personligt tack för att du var så fantastisk och hjälpte oss så mycket. Detta drag skulle inte hända om det inte var för dig. Vi kan inte tacka dig nog. ...
