On the quieter western stretch of the coast, the municipality of Casares pairs one of Andalusia's prettiest white villages with the resort that sets the regional standard: Finca Cortesín.
A 215-hectare estate combining a championship golf course (host of the 2023 Solheim Cup), a Forbes-rated hotel, a private beach club reachable by buggy, and a collection of villas and apartments built within the resort grounds.
Casares itself sits inland on a steep hillside — whitewashed houses stacked against the rock, with views over the coast and into the mountains. Tourism here is gentle; the cafes still serve mostly locals.
The new Algarrobico hotel, a wider beach promenade and confirmed road improvements have pushed Casares onto the radar of buyers priced out of central Marbella. The trade-off is a longer airport transfer — closer to 75 minutes than 45.
Buyers seeking the polish of a managed resort, the cachet of one of Spain's best golf courses and a quieter setting than central Marbella.
We'll tell you honestly whether this neighbourhood fits your budget, investment goal and lifestyle.
