Situated just a few minutes outside the downtown area, Santa Clara is one of the stars of the upcoming new luxury residential areas in Marbella East.

Santa Clara is a gated residential area with the feel of a country club that follows the gentle meanderings of both the rolling landscape and the Santa Clara golf course that homes here tend to overlook. The green carpet of the course adds to the natural beauty of an area set just inland from the coastal road, at little more than two kilometres from the sea. From its slightly elevated position, Santa Clara takes it all in: sea, golf, rolling hills, mountains and the shoreline all the way to Gibraltar.

It is one of the rising stars of an area that is becoming more and more established as one of Marbella’s new top addresses, within a country club setting close to the luxurious clubhouse of the local golf club. For residents of nearby coastal areas such as Los Monteros and La Morera Playa, Santa Clara is the nearest country club zone and the closest of three fantastic golf clubs within a five-minute radius.

The region’s main Costa del Sol Hospital is located nearby, as are the La Cañada shopping mall, Marbella’s downtown area, the local rugby club and a fantastic stretch of sandy beaches and dunes dotted with coastal pine trees. It’s also an area perfect for hiking, walking the dog and also horse riding, with an equestrian centre just a few minutes away, set between hill country, the nearby mountain ranges and those endless beaches.

Nearby La Morera Beach is the ultimate spot where kite-surfers gather at little chiringuito beach bars and famous seafood restaurants dot the coastline. Its spectacular westward views across the bay to Marbella and towards Gibraltar also make it a much-loved spot to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset colour the early evening skies in spectacular shades of gold, orange and pink.

For those fortunate enough to call it home, La Morera Playa is located right upon these shores.
