Sierra Blanca
Marbella’s finest addressesMarbella’s finest addresses rank among the most exclusive on the Mediterranean, but what makes a place like Sierra Blanca stand out as a luxury hotspot?
Often considered to be the further extension of the Golden Mile – the super-exclusive six-kilometre avenue that leads from Puerto Banús to Marbella town – Sierra Blanca is an exclusive gated residential area dominated by large, luxurious villas and a smaller collection of architecturally designed townhouses and select apartment complexes.
The latter are set within the greenery that marks this suburb, where gardens are expansive and a covering of coastal umbrella pine groves creates a buffer between Sierra Blanca and surrounding residential zones. Though it is literally just a few minutes from Marbella town and the beaches of the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús, its raised position offers spectacular views over the sea and coastal area.
More than that; set at the base of La Concha Mountain, Sierra Blanca backs on to a protected nature reserve that creates a bordering area of great natural beauty just made for relaxing hikes and walks. As such, it has all the advantages of a hill country club whilst also being right at the heart of the Marbella area and just minutes removed from its finest amenities.

It is this combination of factors, along with limited access to non-residents that give this elegant suburb an almost rustic feel. Ensconced between wooded groves and protected nature beauty while looking out over Marbella, Puerto Banús and the Mediterranean shoreline all the way along to where it meets the Atlantic ocean in Gibraltar.
Of course it takes more to make a top residential address than location and scenic beauty alone, and here Sierra Blanca impresses with the quality of its properties. This begins with well laid-out and maintained roads, gated access and the fact that most of it is made up of luxurious villas set within large, beautifully manicured private grounds.
This creates a sense of space and privilege, with each property enjoying privacy and a clear orientation towards the sea, but within a secure and attractive suburban environment. In fact, Sierra Blanca homes also offer stunning mountain views, and some owners have designed their villas to emphasise both blue sky and sea vistas as well as the natural greenery of the immediate surroundings.

Within this setting stand some of the finest villas in the greater Marbella area, including mansions and actual country estates built on several hectares of private land, complete with the kind of entrance through tree-lined driveways that befits a landed country home. The fact that few parts of even Marbella can boast such properties is an indication of Sierra Blanca’s standing.
Even the (few) apartment and townhouse complexes within Sierra Blanca are of the same standard, consisting either of luxurious low-rise blocks set within lush green gardens – Sierra Blanca is known for its voluptuous landscaped areas – with spectacular views, or architecturally styled villa townhouses with signature design and finishing.
As always, it is a combination of factors that make Sierra Blanca such an attractive, luxurious area, and indeed the upper extension of the famed Golden Mile – explaining why this is one of the most luxurious residential areas in Marbella.
