The term ‘frontline beach’ takes on its proper meaning at Los Granados de Banús. Situated just east of the lively marina and shopping area of Puerto Banús, it fronts not a busy beachside road or boardwalk but leads directly to a large stretch of beach.

The luxuriously designed and appointed properties at Los Granados de Banús range from spacious two-bedroom apartments two double-floor penthouses complete with expansive panoramic terraces and private rooftop swimming pools. Inside, the properties are elegant, comfortable and modern, offering space, style and home comforts in one of the most desired locations along the whole Spanish coast.  Continue reading »

Situated about a kilometre west of the lively, glamorous port of Puerto Banús, and just 150 metres from the sea, Bahia de Banús reflects the best of Marbella. Close to all amenities, including elegant shops, fine dining, nightlife and beach clubs, it is also just a short drive away from a wide variety of golf clubs and other sporting and professional facilities.

A short stroll will take you to the nearby Guadalpin, a luxurious five-star hotel with swimming pool, fine dining restaurant, outdoor terraces and café that form ideal spots to enjoy breakfast, meet for a drink or conduct business meetings. A little further along, overlooking the sandy beach, is Mistral Beach, an elegant seaside beach club complete with restaurants, bars, sundeck areas and a water sports centre. Continue reading »

In earlier articles we interviewed the teams responsible for short and long term rentals at Nordica, but such a large operation requires an efficient turnover of properties to keep it running smoothly, and at the heart of this is the cleaning and maintenance service managed by Tia Watt-Roy.

Nordica Rentals have almost 500 short term and well over 100 long term rental properties on their books, which represents quite a responsibility in terms of keeping them all sparkling clean, in full working order and ready to receive occupants. The department run by Tia is therefore a vital cog in the machinery that ensures a smooth and efficient operation from the moment of taking a property on, through preparing it for visitors right up to cleaning between departures and arrivals.

As one of the leading specialist rental companies on the Costa del Sol, Nordica Rentals has built up a great deal of expertise in both short and long-term letting. That each of these fields has its own specialisations, demands and methodology is clear from our recent interview with Ana Wollin, from the short-term rentals department. Where demand for short-term properties in the Marbella area is maintained on a year-round basis by golfers and other visitors to the coast, it naturally reaches a feverish peak during the summer months, when Ana and her colleagues are rushed off their feet. For Minerva and Margaretha, in long-term rentals, the year is more even yet really gets going in September. Continue reading »

If you’re planning to enjoy a break in the Marbella area there’s no point in having a half-hearted attitude! With a little bit of planning you can spend a week or two experiencing the Marbella way of life in style;  if you’ve never visited before, don’t worry – you’ll soon get the hang of it, since it largely consists of spending a lot of time relaxing in the sun beside the pool, playing a round or two of golf and enjoying outdoor meals in the balmy night air.

Villa Terracotta is a wonderfully comfortable villa situated in the heart of Nueva Andalucía, one of the most popular residential areas on the Costa del Sol and the setting of some of the coast’s finest golf courses: La Quinta, Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha Golf can all be found virtually on your doorstep. The low season rates are very favourable, allowing a large family to enjoy a five-star holiday at comparatively little expense. Continue reading »

Marbella is famous throughout Europe – and, indeed, the world – as a stylish holiday destination. Finding the perfect location from which to enjoy all the highlights of the city and its baby sister, Puerto Banús, is therefore essential.

Elegantly perched on the slopes of La Concha, Marbella’s iconic mountain, Sierra Blanca is one of the most prestigious addresses on the Costa del Sol. Affording excellent views of the Mediterranean and tantalising glimpses of some of the coast’s key venues, this exclusive housing complex contains the kind of luxurious villas that only the most experienced sybarite could imagine.

Villa Bach, even by the lofty standards of Sierra Blanca, is something of a star. Containing a huge villa and two separate guesthouses, this wonderful property can be rented on a weekly basis, but is also currently on sale. Why not experience all it has to offer before considering a permanent stay? Continue reading »

With over 25 years experience in finding people homes to rent and buy, Nordica Rentals can rightly call itself the Nueva Andalucía expert. “We work across the Marbella area,” says co-founder Anna-Lena Rosén, “but Nueva Andalucía is the part we specialise in and is very much at the heart of our activities.”

A family-run business with a longstanding commitment to the area, Nordica Sales & Rentals is a real estate company that is here for the long haul. “We are not one of those firms that comes and goes with the ebb and flow of economic opportunity. Our business is built on a reputation for honest quality and service that has been established over many years, and since this is our home, where we live and work, we guard our reputation very carefully.” Continue reading »
