Marbella set to be busy again this summer

One of Spain’s most glamorous resorts is set to enjoy another record breaking summer as tourists, celebrities and investors continue arriving in their thousands.

With the combination of a superb microclimate, designer brands and celebrities, from Hollywood A-listers to reality show wannabes, means that Marbella can keep on with the serious business of having a good time and making money.

It’s not only tourism, over the past year it has seen the luxury residential property market grow from strength to strength. Over the past few months have seen values begin to rise as international investors are once more being lured in by the country’s low prices, investment opportunities and lifestyle.

International property analysts have highlighted three prime areas for international investment – Madrid, Barcelona and Marbella.

Meanwhile, Marbella Town Hall has also been proactive in marketing the town, attending a variety of trade shows and exhibitions in the mentioned regions.

It is not exactly a hard sell. Internationally renowned as a playground for the rich and famous, Marbella boasts literally miles of stunningly beautiful beaches, is a favourite spot for golf enthusiasts and has an enviable climate.

The increasing number of high profile events is adding a sprinkling of stardust to the already eclectic social calendar.

The Marbella Luxury Weekend showcases designer fashions, top-end goods and some seriously impressive yachts and cars, while the month long Starlite Festival this year features Lenny Kravitz, Enrique Iglesias and Lionel Richie and always attracts media coverage like moths to a flame.

As do the red carpet charity galas held by Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria, now a regular fixture on every Marbella socialite’s calendar.

Written off several times before as being past its sell by date, Marbella continues to attract a steady stream of the rich and famous, and is set to do it all again and this summer!
