Buying property in Nagüeles and the Golden Mile.
The stretch between Marbella town and Puerto Banús: the beach and the grand hotels on the Golden Mile, gated communities and villas on the hill behind, and the highest price per square metre in Marbella.
The beach, the hotels and the hill behind them, between Marbella town and Puerto Banús.
Nagüeles and the Golden Mile is the stretch of Marbella between the town and Puerto Banús. The Golden Mile is the old coast road, now a boulevard named after Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe, with the beach, the Marbella Club and Puente Romano on its sea side. Behind it the ground rises through gated communities such as Coto Real, Lomas del Rey and Condado de Sierra Blanca to the villa streets of Rocío de Nagüeles and the foot of La Concha, the mountain behind Marbella.
One new development is on file here, Earth, finished and priced from €5,350,000, along with six higher-value homes, all resales, from €1,499,000 in Coto Real to €4,650,000 inside Puente Romano. Puerto Banús and Nueva Andalucía are next door to the west, the old town to the east, and the district asks more per square metre than any other part of Marbella.

Worth knowing about Nagüeles and the Golden Mile.
The motorway splits the district in two.
The A-7 crosses the hillside between the Golden Mile and the villa estates. Below it are Puente Romano, Coto Real, Lomas del Rey and Earth, between the motorway and the sea. Above it are Rocío de Nagüeles, Jardines Colgantes and Sierra Blanca, with bigger plots, the view down to the sea and a longer way to the sand. The apartment on file inside Puente Romano is 0.9 km by road from Nagüeles beach, the villa in Rocío de Nagüeles 4.1 km. Choose the half before you compare prices across it.
The average hides a very wide spread.
Idealista’s €8,336/m² covers beachfront apartments, gated communities on the hill and villas on large plots. On the six homes on file the asking price runs from €5,940/m² for a penthouse in Jardines Colgantes to €24,734/m² for an apartment inside Puente Romano. Set a home against recent sales on its own estate, not against the district figure.
Gated communities have their own running costs.
Four of the six homes on file are in gated communities, Puente Romano among them, and the community charge is where the cost of running them shows. On the homes on file it runs from €205 a month in Coto Real to €828 in Jardines Colgantes. Ask for the last two years of accounts and the minutes of the last general meeting before an offer, not the figure on the listing.
At this price the wealth tax return comes into it.
A non-resident owner is liable to Spain’s wealth tax on what they own here, after an allowance of €700,000. Andalucía rebates it in full up to €3.7 million of net Spanish assets, and a bill is due above that. A return must be filed once your Spanish assets pass €2 million, even when nothing is payable, and five of the seven prices on this page are above that line. Settle whose name to buy in with your tax adviser before the deed.
Most of what is on file is renovated resale.
Earth is the only new development on file. The six homes are all resales and five of them have been renovated. The apartment inside Puente Romano is in a building completed in 1992. A renovation adds to the price, so have your lawyer confirm it was done with the right permits, and have the building surveyed, before you pay for someone else’s work.
Asking is not achieved.
The €/m² figure is what sellers of resale homes are asking on idealista, and the six homes’ prices are asking prices too. Earth’s is the developer’s list price, which rarely moves on a finished building, though what comes with it, the parking, the storage, the furniture, often does.
What it costs, and what it costs to hold
Nagüeles and the Golden Mile ask €8,336/m² as of August 2026, the top of Marbella’s seven districts, 40% above the municipal average and 81% above San Pedro de Alcántara at the other end of the town. The six homes on file run from €1,499,000 to €4,650,000, and Earth, the one new development, starts at €5,350,000 for a finished four bedroom penthouse of 307 m².
A resale pays 7% transfer tax plus notary, registry and your lawyer, so plan for 10 to 11% in all. A new build pays 10% VAT and 1.2% stamp duty instead, about 12 to 14% with the fees. Then the annual side. On the homes on file the IBI runs from €775 to €2,359 a year, the rubbish charge from €93 to €210 a year and the community charge from €205 to €828 a month.
€/m² figures are idealista district asking prices for August 2026, the same source as the town table used across the rest of this site. The homes’ prices and running costs are from their listings on file in October 2026, and Earth’s price is from the developer’s list, before VAT.
Where it sits inside Marbella.
Marbella is not one market. Idealista splits the municipality into seven districts, and this one is the top of the table. This is the whole table for August 2026, so you can see what the Golden Mile adds to a square metre and where the same money goes further.
The Nueva Andalucía line is the one to set against this page. It is next door, it asks a quarter less per square metre, and what it does not have is a beach. If the sand and the hotels are not why you are coming, the Golf Valley deserves a morning of your time before you commit here.
What each rung of the ladder looks like.
One new development and six higher-value homes are on file, so the ladder here starts at about a million and a half. These are the asking prices of the homes and the developer’s starting price at Earth, cheapest first.
