Costa del Sol
Cleox Inversiones helps international buyers find the right villa, house or apartment across Marbella, Sotogrande and Benahavís. Every property we present has been considered against your priorities first, so your time is spent on homes worth seeing, not on a list that overwhelms rather than helps.
Whether you are looking for a golf-side villa in Nueva Andalucía, a contemporary home within La Reserva de Sotogrande, or a discreet estate in Benahavís, our role is to guide the decision, not simply show you what is available.
Our Approach
Searching for property on the Costa del Sol usually means the opposite of clarity. Hundreds of listings, inconsistent information, and properties that look similar online but differ enormously in person.
Cleox works the other way around. Before any property is suggested, we take the time to understand what actually matters to you: location, privacy, architecture, orientation, proximity to golf or the coast, and the practical details that rarely appear in a listing description.
From there, we filter the market on your behalf. Unsuitable properties are set aside before they reach you. Concerns are raised early, not discovered halfway through a viewing. The result is a shortlist built around your criteria, and a process that respects your time.

Marbella remains the reference point for property on the Costa del Sol, and for good reason. Nueva Andalucía offers established golf-side living with immediate access to Puerto Banús and central Marbella. The beachside areas offer a different rhythm, with properties ranging from apartments and penthouses to substantial beachfront villas. What distinguishes Marbella from a purely seasonal destination is its infrastructure: restaurants, retail, golf, healthcare and services that operate year-round, not only in summer. Marbella’s own tourism identity, built around golf, gastronomy, the sea, nature, culture, sport and wellness, reflects a place designed for permanent living as much as for holidays.
Explore MarbellaSotogrande is not a single destination but several distinct residential areas. Sotogrande Alto sits at elevation, offering spacious villas, views and proximity to golf. Sotogrande Costa lies closer to the sea, with easier access to restaurants and beach clubs. Sotogrande Marina centres on waterfront living, with restaurants, shops and water sports close at hand. La Reserva, the newest of these areas, brings contemporary luxury property alongside golf, racquet facilities, access to international schooling and equestrian activity nearby. Not every property in Sotogrande includes club membership or facility access as standard, and this is one of the details worth clarifying before any purchase.
Explore SotograndeBenahavís covers several distinct luxury residential environments, each with its own character. La Zagaleta and El Madroñal are known for privacy and hillside settings. La Quinta Golf, El Herrojo and La Reserva del Alcuzcuz each bring their own combination of golf, community and landscape. What unites them is elevation, privacy and proximity to Marbella, though not every property in Benahavís includes sea views, private security or golf access, and these details vary considerably from one address to the next.
La Zagaleta sits within the municipality of Benahavís and remains one of the most private residential estates on the Costa del Sol. Spread across approximately 900 hectares, it includes two private golf courses, clubhouses and an equestrian centre, set within a natural landscape between the mountains and the Mediterranean. Marbella and Puerto Banús remain within easy reach, offering privacy without isolation.
Explore La ZagaletaProperty Types
offer the greatest control over privacy, layout and outdoor space, and remain the most requested property type among our clients.
suit buyers who want a private entrance and outdoor space with lower maintenance than a standalone villa.
offer convenience, security and often stronger rental appeal, with less day-to-day upkeep.
bring direct or near-direct coastal access, though positioning and orientation vary significantly along the coast.
suit buyers whose daily life includes the course, with proximity to the fairway shaping both lifestyle and outlook.
offer contemporary specification and, in many cases, the ability to influence certain finishes before completion.
appeal to buyers who want to build a home designed entirely around their own requirements.
The right choice depends on privacy requirements, intended use, proximity to the coast or golf, community services, and how much ongoing maintenance you are prepared to take on. We do not offer projections on rental yield or capital growth; our role is to help you choose the property that genuinely fits your life.
The Region
Accessibility is one of the region’s practical advantages. Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport currently serves 164 destinations through 66 airlines, connecting the coast directly to much of Europe and beyond.
The region also offers genuine variety within a relatively compact area. Buyers can compare an urban setting in central Marbella, a beachside address, a golf community, a marina lifestyle in Sotogrande, or a private hillside estate in Benahavís, often within a short drive of one another.
Marbella brings established infrastructure across golf, gastronomy, the coast, nature, culture, sport and wellness. Sotogrande combines residential living with golf, marina access, equestrian facilities and proximity to international schooling. Together, these towns offer a breadth of choice that few single destinations can match.

Cleox does not act as your lawyer or tax adviser. Legal and tax matters are handled by appropriate independent professionals, coordinated closely with our team throughout the process.
Due Diligence
Every property carries its own history, and Spain’s official Property Registry is the starting point for understanding it. Registry records can confirm the registered owner, any registered rights, mortgages, restrictions or prohibitions, other encumbrances, and the property’s registered area, nature and boundaries.
The specific checks required depend on the property in question, and should always be carried out by qualified independent legal professionals before any commitment is made. We coordinate closely with trusted advisers to ensure this process is handled properly, without shortcuts.
