Explore all properties →Puerto Banús is Marbella's most internationally recognised address — a marina district where luxury apartments start from €500,000 and beachfront villas reach €15 million. Average prices on the marina front stand at €8,500/m² in 2026, with demand up +15% year-on-year driven by sustained buyer flow from the UK, Middle East, Scandinavia and the Americas.
Puerto Banús sits at the western end of Marbella's Golden Mile, forming the southern boundary of Nueva Andalucía. Spain's highest-profile luxury marina — with over 900 berths for superyachts — the residential market here is defined by structural supply scarcity and durable international demand. The marina front is a closed perimeter: no new beachfront developments are possible, which maintains pricing floors and prevents the volatility seen in less constrained markets.
Over 65% of transactions in Puerto Banús in 2026 involve non-Spanish nationals. The result is a market priced in a global currency — decoupled from domestic Spanish economic cycles. Short-term rental yields of 6–9% outperform comparable assets in Cannes, Ibiza and Cascais. A 3-bedroom marina apartment generates €4,000–€7,000/week in July–August.
Not all zones within Puerto Banús perform equally. Here is a data-driven breakdown of property types, prices and investment returns across the micro-market.
| Zone | Type | Price Range | Price/m² | Gross Yield | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marina Front | Apartment 2–4 bed | €800K – €4M | €8,000–€12,000 | 7–9% | Trophy asset, max rental income |
| Marina Front | Penthouse | €2M – €8M | €9,000–€14,000 | 6–8% | Ultra-prime, marina views |
| Beachside (2nd line) | Apartment / Villa | €500K – €3M | €6,000–€9,000 | 6–8% | Best value/yield balance |
| Nueva Andalucía border | Villa 4–6 bed | €2M – €8M | €5,000–€7,500 | 5–7% | Space, pool, 5 min to marina |
| Aloha / Las Brisas | Villa / Townhouse | €800K – €3M | €4,000–€6,000 | 5–7% | Golf, family, quieter |
| Elevated (Lomas PB) | Villa with views | €1.5M – €6M | €5,500–€8,000 | 5–6% | Panoramic, privacy, gated |
Buyers frequently compare Puerto Banús with its two neighbouring zones. The choice depends on priorities:
Optimal for buyers prioritising rental income, marina lifestyle, international resale liquidity and trophy asset positioning. The marina address is globally recognised — it sells itself to tenants and future buyers alike. The trade-off: units are smaller per euro than inland zones, and the summer season brings high footfall to the marina strip.
Offers greater residential tranquillity with stronger capital preservation credentials. Properties here are predominantly villas with grounds, positioned away from the marina's commercial energy. Average prices are comparable (€7,000–€15,000/m² frontline), but rental yields are slightly lower (4–7%) and the buyer pool is more selective.
Delivers the strongest yield-to-price ratio on the Costa del Sol. Villas with pools, golf access and 5–10 minutes to the marina can be acquired from €1.5M, yielding 6–8% gross. For buyers seeking space, privacy and investment returns over pure prestige, Nueva Andalucía is the rational companion to Puerto Banús.
GADAIT's advisory process begins with this three-way analysis — understanding your lifestyle priorities, rental objectives and exit horizon before recommending a specific zone and asset type.
Spain imposes no restrictions on property ownership by non-EU nationals. The acquisition process for international buyers follows these steps:
Spain's tax identification number for foreigners. Obtainable in 1–4 weeks via the Spanish consulate in your country of residence or directly in Spain.
Required for the final payment and ongoing utility direct debits. Most international banks can facilitate this remotely.
Typically 1–5% of the purchase price. Locks the property and removes it from the market.
Signed within 2–4 weeks. Buyer pays 10% of the total price. Both parties are legally committed — seller forfeits double the deposit if they withdraw.
Final completion before a Spanish notary. Balance paid, title transfers. Total acquisition costs on resale: ~9–10% (7% ITP + notary, registry, legal fees).
Post-Golden Visa (closed April 2025). Spain's real estate Golden Visa route was closed on 3 April 2025. Alternatives in 2026:
| Cost Item | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ITP (Transfer Tax) — resale | 7% | Paid within 30 days of completion |
| VAT (IVA) — new build | 10% | |
| Stamp Duty (AJD) — new build | 1.2% | |
| Notary & Land Registry | 0.5–1% | |
| Independent lawyer | 1–1.5% | Strongly recommended |
| Annual IBI (municipal tax) | €1,000–€4,000/yr | Based on cadastral value |
| IRNR (non-resident income tax) | 19% | On imputed or actual rental income |
Puerto Banús is one of Europe's strongest short-term rental markets. Key data for 2026:
VFT licence required. A tourist rental licence is mandatory in Andalusia for all short-term rentals. Licence availability depends on the community of owners — verify before purchase. GADAIT screens all properties for VFT status as part of the due diligence process.
