Casablanca is just around the Melia Don Pepe Hotel.

Hot and busy – these are the best 2 words to describe the Costa del Sol at the moment. If the Brits are staying at home this year, then the Spaniards are certainly opting to do the same! I spent Saturday in Benalmadena , the popular tourist resort just 15 minutes from Malaga airport. The area is normally dominated by British tourists enjoying the sun, but this time I would estimate that the population was 70% Spanish. When I drove back towards Marbella on Saturday evening, the roads were clogged up, full of tourists heading back to their holiday apartments from the beaches, or heading into the popular haunts of Marbella and Puerto Banus for the evening. I stopped off at Opencor supermarket in Elviria on the way home for a bottle of vodka – trust me, I needed it! – and the place looked like a bombsite – imagine Primark at 5pm on a Saturday, and you get the idea! The place was full of Spanish tourists – I was amazed, as Elviria is generally quite ´English´ at this time of the year. So, it seems that the Spanish are having a ´staycation´ summer, pushing hotel occupancy rates in the key areas close to 100%. With easy access into an expanding Malaga airport, and now a simple 2 1/2 hour high-speed rail journey from the centre of Madrid, it seems that the Costa del Sol is hot for more reasons than just the weather.

Los Arqueros Golf Resort is one of the most spectacular residencial and leisure developments on the Costa del Sol . Bordered to the north by the prestigious La Zagaleta estate, home to some of Spain´s most expensive properties, and located on the Ronda Road, giving easy access to Benahavis, the golf valley behind Puerto Banus and the surrounding golf courses, the resort is perfectly located. Los Arqueros boasts an excellent 18 hole golf course, clubhouse with restaurant, bar, gymnasium, squash and tennis, plus a new commercial centre currently under construction. Developed in its entirety by Taylor Woodrow, the project is home to a selection of apartments and villas. With Taylor Woodrow now selling the very last units available within its Las Robles and Las Encinas phases to the south of the resort, vendors of properties in earlier phases are finding themselves having to compete with the developer´s knock-down prices. This price ´war´ has created some spectacular bargains. Typically, you should expect to pay between €180,000 and €250,000 for a 2 bed apartment in Los Arqueros , while a 3 bed apartment at Los Arqueros will cost in the region of €250,000 to €350,000 Keep a look out for even crazier prices though! A 2 bed apartment has just become available for €159,000 – the cheapest within the development, while even some 3 beds (traditionally far better able to withstand price slashing) are available for prices under €250,000. It´s simply a great time to buy a property at Los Arqueros – without doubt, Marbella´s best value golf resort. Related Posts Beachside Properties – Value Guaranteed?
