Ben Hillman is helping Glenda and Adrian who are coming up for retirement and looking for a holiday home that works for 3 generations of their family. They love the Costa del Sol and want to be as close to the beach as possible and ideally not too far from the very chic Marbella! They have a budget of £95,000 to buy a property where they’re hoping to avoid the cold British weather. Ben has 5 great options - but will any be perfect?
About the area
To get to the Costa Del Sol in southern Spain you fly into Malaga which takes around three hours from the UK – and all the properties we’ll be looking at are within an hour’s drive of it. Our search covers the stretch of the Costa Del Sol south of Marbella, including the lively tourist towns of Manilva, Estepona and La Duquesa. It’s a real holiday makers paradise here with miles of golden sand, crystal clear waters, and loads to do away from the beaches in terms of eating, drinking and shopping , all of which makes it very popular with second home owners from all over Europe.
