Moving to Marbella, Spain.

There are so many reasons why we love Marbella, with all year round sunshine, beaches and beautiful countryside all around us it is impossible to name just a few reasons… Marbella is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities to visit in Spain, and it attracts tourists year-round for its unique climate, fantastic amenities, stunning beaches and golf courses. People have been coming to Marbella for decades now to relax, have fun and enjoy not only a fantastic climate but also first-class leisure amenities.

Marbella Glamourous neighbourhoods.

Marbella offers plenty of exclusive neighborhoods for wealthy expats, but some are certainly better suited to year-round luxury living than others. The wold wide known Puerto Banus, Marbella city or Nueva Andalucia, that is the perfect choice for retirees looking to spend here the year around, with a glamourous lifestyle, lavish amenities and amazing luxurious properties from which to take your pick.

If you’re looking to spend your retirement on the golf course under the sunshine, looking for properties in the Golf Valley may be an appealing option, while Benahavis and Estepona delivers authentic Andalusian culture and heritage. Marbella is considered to be a very vibrant city to live in, providing comfort to those moving to Spain for holidays or a permanent home to live in.

Marbella, accessible location.

Transport connections in Marbella are very good, with Malaga Airport around 40 minutes’ drive from Marbella and direct flights to well over one hundred destinations every week. Trains, buses and taxis are all easily accessible here, so expats looking to really explore their new surroundings will have no issues making their way around, even if they don’t drive.

Marbella town hall has recently released figures showing that tourism continues to thrive on this part of the Costa del Sol. Of course that’s music to our ears, but also no surprise! With more exciting cultural events in the calendar than ever before, and never ending days of sunshine ahead, Marbella is the perfect spot in southern Europe to visit this summer.

Marbella Climate.

There are many reasons to love Marbella – but our very special climate is probably one of the special reasons……lovely clear sunshine on a November day, beautiful sunsets and a nice walk by the Mediterranean sea….Perfect Autumn weather. Winter in most places is marked by cold, wet weather and short days draped in darkness, but in Marbella it is quite the opposite.

Marbella is known for its sun, but you can also ski here. Well, not literally here, as beachside Marbella is usually still warm enough in winter to offer the chance of soaking up the sun while enjoying coffee, lunch or even sun downers, but 2.5 hours away are the ski pistes of Europe’s southernmost alpine resort. Here you can: hike, cycle, run, stroll, walk the dog or simply sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

Some people seemed to get all sunshine, and some all shadow. Buy a home from the Costa del Sol and be one of those who are getting all the sunshine in life.

Golf en Marbella.

With over 15+ courses in the Marbella area there are so many amazing courses to choose from.

Affordable cost of living.

While real estate prices have steadily risen over the past few years, there is still a fantastic array of great homes available in Marbella that makes buying a property here feasible for many people. Even if you cant afford luxury living when you’re on a fixed retirement income, you’ll be pleased to discover that luxury costs a lot less here than elsewhere in Europe. Property taxes aren’t very high, and the cost of eating out, groceries and entertainment are all very affordable.

Digital Nomads.

Marbella consolidates itself as the lifestyle destination of reference in southern Europe. The perfect destination for digital nomads, professionals who combine remote work with social life and leisure, people looking for an environment where they can enjoy every moment. Imagine living in a place where you don’t have to compromise on the quality of your life. We are currently in a shift where digital meetings are more accepted across industries. In Marbella they can have an exclusive home with unparalleled views and a natural environment where they can work comfortably, either from their apartment or from the co-working space.

Marbella offers a huge number of activities to visitors and locals alike

These are only a few of the reasons why more and more people are seeking for a sunny home in Marbella.

Sometimes people ask “which one do you prefer: sea or mountain? In Marbella You can have both. We are living in paradise! No wonder everybody comes here.

Inheritance Tax in Andalucia.

Andalucia is an attractive place to invest and reside. Not only does the sun shine for most of the year but recent tax laws have made the area an investor-friendly region. In April 2019, Gift and Inheritance Tax in Andalucia was reduced by 99%, leaving a symbolic 1% as a sort of control tax. If the inherited estate, or assets, are below the €1 million-threshold, heirs will be exempt from paying inheritance tax. People inheriting assets worth over a million will only pay 1% tax on the actual value (so-called “Impuesto de Sucesiones y Donaciones”). Inheritance tax must be paid if the heir is resident in Spain and receives an asset from abroad, or if the assets being transferred are in Spanish territory. This means that both residents and non-residents are subject to this tax and they enjoy the same rates and allowances. In fact, inheritance tax applies to all types of properties, shares and bank accounts located in Andalucia. In summary:

– Pre-existing wealth nil-rate band raised to 1,000,000 euro (per inheritor).

– Estates equal to or below 1,000,000 euro will go untaxed (per inheritor).

– Estates over 1,000,000 euro will benefit from a 99% exemption (per inheritor), meaning you only pay 1% over what exceeds the 1 million threshold.
