LOCATION

The Guadalmina Baja urbanisation is located just 5 minutes from the centre of San Pedro Alcántara and is accessed via the A-7 roundabout after the tunnel at the San Pedro Alcántara exit in the direction of Estepona. It is the beach area of Guadalmina.

Its location is very well communicated as the access roundabout leads off in both directions, with Benahavis 10 minutes away, Puerto Banus 15 minutes away, Marbella 25 minutes away, Estepona 20 minutes away and Malaga International Airport 44 minutes away.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT

Urban development began in the 1960s, with the creation of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, consisting of two 18-hole courses called the North and South courses, and the construction of the Hotel Guadalmina Spa Golf Resort, located at the southern end of the golf course and on the beachfront, in a privileged setting with the two fundamental ingredients of the Marbella coastline.

Guadalmina Baja is synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. The area is made up of stunning villas and high-end apartments, many of which are surrounded by lush gardens and offer spectacular sea views.

Villas in Guadalmina Baja tend to feature spacious plots, private swimming pools and sleek modern architectural designs. The community is a mix of Spanish and Northern European residents, including Scandinavians and British, all attracted by the lifestyle and tranquillity the area offers.

In Guadalmina Baja we can find villas both frontline beach and frontline golf, with the predominant style being Mediterranean and classic, with spacious and well maintained gardens and well protected in its perimeter to provide excellent privacy.

The urbanisation enjoys great privacy, very well kept, quiet and safe streets. In addition, the area has a high level of security, with private surveillance.

Guadalmina Baja has, on the beachfront, the Guadalmina Beach Club, a restaurant located right next to the Roman Baths of Las Bóvedas, an archaeological site dating back to the 3rd century, discovered in 1926.

To the north of this beautiful area that combines the contrast of blue and green, a few metres from one of the three existing accesses from the A-7 road, is the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception and a little further east, the private, bilingual San José School, which covers all stages of the educational system, from infant education to baccalaureate.

SERVICES IN THE URBANISATION

Guadalmina Baja offers a wide range of high quality services to meet the needs of its residents. Among the most outstanding services is the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, which offers two 18-hole courses surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This golf club is one of the oldest and most prestigious on the Costa del Sol and attracts golfers from all over the world.

In addition, the area boasts a selection of gourmet restaurants offering a variety of international and local cuisines, from Mediterranean to Asian and fusion. Exclusive shops and luxury boutiques are also present, providing a unique shopping experience. On Guadalmina Baja beach, residents and visitors can enjoy the Chiringuito Sol Beach. This popular beach bar offers a perfect fusion of high quality Mediterranean cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere. Its menu includes fresh fish, seafood, paellas and a wide selection of cocktails.

The proximity to the Guadalmina Beach Hotel adds an extra touch of luxury, offering spa services, fine dining restaurants and direct access to the beach. Other amenities include health and wellness centres, prestigious international schools and a variety of sporting and recreational activities.

For families living in Guadalmina, high quality education is another of the area’s strengths. Colegio San José is one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the area, offering educational programmes from kindergarten to high school. D is renowned for its bilingualism and modern facilities including laboratories, sports areas, library, and a focus on academic excellence, personal development and commitment to values.

ENVIRONMENT

The setting of Guadalmina Baja is one of its greatest attractions. The area is surrounded by nature, with well-kept gardens and green areas that create a serene and relaxed atmosphere.

The proximity to the beach allows residents to enjoy water activities such as paddle surfing, kayaking and scuba diving, as well as leisurely strolls by the sea. In addition, the area has several parks and outdoor spaces ideal for leisure and recreation. The combination of nature and luxury makes Guadalmina Baja a unique place to live.

The local fauna and flora are also an attraction, with numerous species of birds and plants to be seen in the area. Furthermore, the proximity to the Sierra de las Nieves and other natural parks offers additional opportunities for hiking and nature exploration.

Guadalmina Baja has all kinds of services without having to make long journeys. It is an urbanization that combines the beach and golf environments, with an excellent location to be able to access the main destinations of the Costa del Sol.

The promenade of San Pedro Alcántara, an exceptional place to exercise and enjoy its beachfront establishments, is just a few minutes away.

The charming village of Benahavis is also just a few minutes away, a reference point for gastronomy, not only in Andalusia but also internationally due to its wide variety of restaurants.

MY OPINION

Of course, Guadalmina Baja is a great option to consider if you have the budget to buy a property close to the sea, both for its location and its features. If two words could define the atmosphere and style of an urbanisation, in this case Guadalmina Baja, I would say ‘ tradition and elegance’.

Of course we will have to make some sacrifices, such as the views. Guadalmina Baja is not a development where views are for sale, as the terrain is flat, unless of course we are on the front line, but what is for sale is privacy, thanks to its large plots and lush gardens, some of which are over 40 years old. Its proximity to San Pedro is also to be valued, as a short stroll will take you to the centre of San Pedro Alcántara, where you will find a wide range of services and high quality gastronomy.

In Guadalmina Baja, as in other urbanisations and areas of similar category, a large number of villas are being updated, refurbished and built, which are then sold at record prices, confirming that we are still in a market with a solid demand and in full development.

If you are interested in purchasing a villa or even an apartment in any of the above complexes, or if you are a property owner and need a valuation to sell your property in Guadalmina Baja, at Benarroch Real Estate we are specialists in the sale of luxury properties in Guadalmina Baja so please do not hesitate to contact us, my team and I will be delighted to help you.
