Set in the foothills of Marbella’s iconic La Concha Mountain, Cascada de Camoján is one of the most exclusive areas on the Costa del Sol.

Sumptuous luxury villas - most of which have superb sea views towards Africa - on large plots surrounded by pine woodlands, offer the seclusion so prized by many affluent homeowners.

But that privacy does not come at the cost of remoteness, so often the case for luxury homes with extensive gardens. Property for sale in Cascada de Camoján is very sought after by a wealthy international clientele because it is just a few minutes drive to the amenities of Marbella, as well as the restaurants and beaches of the Golden Mile. Puerto Banús, with its designer shopping, vibrant nightlife and moorings for yachts, is also within easy reach.

The price of luxury villas for sale in Cascada de Camoján, which starts at around €2 million, has held up well over the past few years, as demand has always outstripped supply, making them an excellent Marbella property investment. Some of the grander homes - those with panoramic sea views, and the finest luxury fittings - can cost upwards of €12 million.
