• In 2025 it will be 60 years since the opening of this legendary hotel, founded in 1965 by designers Jamie Parladé and Duarte Pinto Coelho. 
• In 1978 its restaurant La Fonda received the first Michelin Star within a Marbella hotel, which held until 1995. 

Marbella, 9th April 2025– As part of its 60th anniversary and its consolidation as a luxury landmark in Marbella, La Fonda Heritage Hotel, the first member of Relais & Châteaux in Andalucia, presents a full schedule of cultural events for the spring. This initiative is part of the hotel’s objective to celebrate its anniversary with a variety of activities throughout the year, becoming a meeting point for lovers of gastronomy, culture and unique experiences in the heart of Marbella’s Old Town. 

History of a Marbella icon

The emblematic building that today houses the boutique hotel has a history as unique as it is fascinating. What began as a private residence was also a church, a school and since 1965 a landmark of Marbella’s high society, transformed into a luxury hotel by renowned designers Jamie Parladé and Duarte Pinto Coelho.  

In 1976, the hotel restaurant became a gastronomic epicentre under the direction of Gustav Horcher— known as Moppy—, son of the legendary Otto Horcher. His impeccable culinary offering and distinguished service attracted personalities from around the world, earning him the first Michelin star in 1978, which it held until 1995 (both editions included), the date of its closure.

Forty years later, the building, already in a state of ruin, was acquired with the intention of restoring it to its former splendour. An ambitious restoration project was undertaken that lasted seven years. During the works, valuable archaeological remains belonging to the former Hermitage of San Sebastián came to light. Many of these elements have been preserved and today form an integral part of the three 16th century buildings that make up the current hotel. 

One of the greatest treasures is the original dome of the church’s alcove, along with 18th century murals, now integrated into the spectacular Heritage Suite, one of the 20 rooms offered by this boutique hotel full of elegance and history. 

Cultural and Gastronomic Agenda

To commemorate the second anniversary of its reopening, throughout the month of April the hotel restaurant will offer its guests a complimentary cocktail designed especially for the occasion. A toast to the history, the excellence and the rebirth of a legendary place. 

This spring’s notable activities include:

Therefore, in recent years we have seen a change in public relations, going from traditional methods to digital ones. Although traditional methods are still used such as press releases, reports and direct contact with journalists, the use of social media has provided a new way of contacting the target market, allowing us to make immediate connections and in real time. But it is evident that the combination of both methods (traditional and digital) are important for the success of a company. Communication should be through multiple channels, covering different ways of spreading a message. 

Although social media is useful, it can also cause challenges for a company. The brand image is important and it should be reflected through their social media profile. Sometimes media is used poorly, given that many people can post whatever they want, which can lead to the spreading of misinformation which is risky for the brand. It is not possible to control everything posted on social media. Comprehensive monitoring through different systems and applications is highly recommended. Moreover negative comments from the consumer can affect the reputation of a company. On the other hand, these comments give direct feedback to companies in real time. Social media allows a company to stay up to date. This conversation with the end customer is of vital importance. The person responsible for the social media of the company must be attentive to the comments and always reply to them. 

It is important to note that with the use of social media, it is difficult to share content because of protection rights and you cannot post third party photographs without consent. Be cautious when you share private information online!

We know that the use of social media will change in the next few years. Given that the internet is an environment that changes quickly, companies should work alongside them in order to stay relevant.

Marbella, 1^st December 2023 – Yesterday the annual conference of the “Study and Evolution of the Market” took place, organised by the Association Leading Property Agents of Spain (LPA). The event, carried out in the Palace of Exhibitions and Congresses of Marbella, brought together more than 600 experts of the real estate sector and was inaugurated by José Eduardo Díaz Molina, Delegate of Human Resources, City Planning, Citizen Security, Industry and Public Roads of the Marbella City Council, and José Carlos León, President of LPA. There was in addition, the participation of Tomás Gasset, CEO of Urbania International and the Board of Directors of the Association composed of Mia Pearlman, of Affinity Spain; Setareh Moreghi of Gilmar and Chris Clover, of Panorama Properties.

“The presence of LPA in our community plays a crucial role in the development and strengthening of the local real estate sector. Marbella and the Costa del Sol have witnessed their tireless commitment to excellence and the professionalisation of the industry, promoting ethical and sustainable practices and this type of conferences, focused on the analysis of the present and future of the sector, are essential for strategic planning and sustainable growth in our region. They provide a valuable space for collective reflection, knowledge exchange and the establishment of guidelines that will benefit both professionals in the sector and citizens in general,” spoke the Councillor for Urban Planning.

José Eduardo Diaz Molina concluded his statement by expressing his gratitude to all attendees and especially to LPA for their continued collaboration. He stressed the importance of public-private collaboration for the balanced and prosperous development of the city.

Stability of the Real Estate Market in the Costa del Sol

The real estate market has undergone significant changes, marking a milestone in 2022 which seems difficult to maintain in the long term, thus anticipating a logical decline in future data. The pandemic has catalysed migration from northern to southern Europe, benefitting Mediterranean regions in particular. Demand for new customers doubled compared to pre-COVID levels in 2019, particularly highlighting the record reached in 2021. This significant increase resulted in transactions in 2022, consolidating a dynamic market. Despite the stability of demand in 2023, in line with the previous year, sales at the national level experienced a decrease of 8%. The luxury sector, largely dependent on the foreign market, has been a key player, contributing towards total sales in Spain amounting to an impressive 17,500 million euros. In terms of financing, 47% of transactions are made with savings, while 53% opt for mortgages, revealing diversity in purchase strategies in the current real estate market.

The real estate situation in Marbella presents challenges marked by the shortage of inventory, with notable decreases of 20% and 40% in beach areas, generating a constant demand. As for the second-hand market, demand doubled in 2021, reaching a record in 2022, while supply remains low. On the other hand, in the field of new construction, there is encouraging data, providing hope for improvement in supply.

Data from Idealista reveals an average price of 4,237€ per square meter, 15% higher than in 2022 according to the property register, placing value at €3,320. The appraised value of housing also experienced an increase of 11.72%, reaching 3,145€. In particular, renovated and new apartments exceeded 6,000€ per square meter, reaching 25,000€ in coveted areas such as the Golden Mile.

In reference to tourist rental accommodation, data was presented during the conference on the situation in the city stating that from all total units, of which 56% are first residences and 44% are intended as second residences, of the latter which 20% are empty, there exists a potential sector. The most profitable typology is apartments, with a 6% net profitability on the second line of the beach and a notable revaluation on the first line. As well as the figure of the golf tourist, digital nomads a new profile to consider. In addition, the implementation of a new Law Decree on Tourist Accommodation to regularise the sector and improve tourism quality is noteworthy.

The nationalities leading real estate transactions continue to be those of the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. On the regional level, Andalusia stands out with the United Kingdom representing 16%, followed by Sweden with 12% and the Netherlands with 8%.

2024: Price adjustment and stability in the real estate sector

The panorama of the real estate sector in Marbella is seen as serene and stable, with a price adjustment in the second-hand market, accompanied by a limited offer in new construction, which will experience a slight increase in prices. The stabilisation of construction costs and a moderate adjustment in interest rates from the second half of 2024 are aspects contemplated in the real estate horizon of Marbella.

Within the framework of discussions on the real estate landscape, experts agreed on the critical importance of improving infrastructure as a fundamental element to support the planned scenery. The growing demand for housing and market dynamics require strong support from public agencies in terms of connectivity, transport and services. Improving infrastructure would not only facilitate access to housing, but would also contribute to the sustainable and attractive development of urban areas, thus strengthening the long-term viability of the real estate market in the region.

It should be noted that only 15% of real estate transactions in the city exceed one million euros, while 35% correspond to homes below  500,000€. Until September 2023, 65% of transactions were below this figure, showing that more than 50% of transactions are concentrated outside the luxury market. For the upcoming year, a slight correction of the market is anticipated, maintaining a steady situation.

The discussion panels addressed crucial issues for the real estate sector, from uncontrollable intrusion to the need to regulate activity, establish a code of ethics, work toward transparency and defend the rights of the final consumer. The interview with Tomás Gasset, CEO of Urbania International, provided a valuable perspective on business leadership and relevant issues such as humanisation of the soil, the need to create models of cities in line with current society and projections of a possible new crisis.

“In analysing future prospects, the challenge lies in prices, which are reaching unsustainable levels even in places like Marbella, which is perceived as a real estate oasis inaccessible to many. Land release and bank financing are obstacles, but the inflow of Next Generation funds is seen as a response to sustainable cities and urbanisations, as well as social housing initiatives. The adaptation of cities to new social models is essential, and for this we must advocate innovation and sustainability as fundamental imperatives in the evolution of the real estate sector,” stated Tomás Gasset, CEO of Urbania International.

Since its foundation in June 2020, LPA has experienced significant growth, from 11 to today´s 47 members. It focuses on fostering a transparent, cooperative, professional and customer service oriented real estate sector. The organisation combines the latest technologies and knowledge with traditional values of ethics and personalised attention to achieve its objectives. Future initiatives include the creation of a sales school and the establishment of a Code of Ethics of Good Practices to internally regulate real estate agents and the operation of the sector, pending administrative regulation.

The event concluded with a call for the professionalisation of the real estate sector and reflection on the challenges and opportunities that mark the current state of the market in the region.

“In line with our commitment to modernise the industry, LPA integrates the latest technologies and knowledge, while maintaining the traditional values of ethics and personalised attention. We are proud to have reached significant milestones since our foundation. With today’s event we reaffirm our commitment to the professionalisation of the real estate sector and reiterate our dedication to raising the standard of the real estate sector. We invite you to consider the current challenges and perspectives that shape the market environment in the locality. Integrity, ethics and the pursuit of excellence remain the fundamental principles that underpin our association,” expressed the president of LPA during the conference.

About LPA

In June 2020, a group of eleven professionals in the real estate sector, with more than 20 years of experience in the Costa del Sol, founded a group of developers and real estate agents of the Costa del Sol, Leading Property Agents of Spain (LPA), under whose umbrella are grouped today a total of 34 companies of the Costa del Sol.

Since its foundation, LPA has grown both in membership and reputation, making strides towards its stated goal of fostering a transparent, cooperative, professional and customer service-oriented real estate sector in this important regional market.

In order to achieve this, the organisation applies the latest technologies, tools, and knowledge along with the traditional values of service, ethics, and personalised attention.

Marbella, 30^th May 2023 – The changes in tax and legislation, the start of the approval process of the new General Municipal Ordinance Plan (PGOM) and the price increase of luxury properties in Marbella has consolidated this Costa del Sol area as the top luxury destination in Europe, according to the Marbella Real Estate Report released annually by Diana Morales Properties, local representative of the international real estate consultancy firm Knight Frank.

Marbella has evolved from being just a tourist destination for golfers and pensioners and has become a permanent residence for many families with hybrid work formats that demand quality of life, infrastructure, prestigious international schools and accessibility to other major European cities.

The report mentioned above reveals that while in other cities the recession, as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the rise in interest rates, has begun to take its toll, “Marbella has emerged stronger, showing growth figures well above those of its competitors, and continues to establish itself as one of the preferred locations not only by those seeking holiday homes, but also for those who wish to take up residence.”

Luxury property prices in Marbella rose 7.1% last year, according to Knight Frank’s Prime International Residential Index (PIRI 100).

The sales transaction volume in 2022 in Marbella and its area of influence (the well-known Golden Triangle that it forms part of along with Estepona and Benahavís), was up compared to the previous year for both resale properties and new builds. However, the quarterly data from the Ministry of Development revealed a significant slowdown in new build property sales. This was most apparent in the municipality of Marbella with quarterly sale figures of new homes decreasing in the last three quarters to 265, 50 and 30 properties respectively. Meanwhile, on a comparative basis, sale figures of second-hand homes remained consistent throughout the year.

Regarding the outlook for 2023, and despite being in an era of uncertainty with the threat of the energy crisis produced by the war, and the financial storm originating in Silicon Valley that could undermine the sustained growth enjoyed during the post-Covid period, as a result of the solid performance of the market over the past two quarters, “there is every reason to believe that 2023 will see another fairly healthy year for real estate on the Costa del Sol in general, but particularly for Marbella.”

Pia Arrieta Morales, Managing Partner of DM Properties, highlights that “Our outlook for 2023 could be best described as cautiously optimistic, and where transaction volumes appear to have slowed, buyers have been spending more on property.” Also, “it is expected that the legal limbo which Marbella’s urban situation finds itself in, currently operating on the basis of the 1986 PGOU, will conclude at the end of the year, providing urban planning security on land pending final approval for development, which will attract investors and developers looking for business opportunities in the city”, she states.

The general situation

Following the post-Covid real estate boom, it was expected that in 2022 everything would return to normality. However, this couldn’t have been further from the truth. According to Knight Frank’s PIRI 100, 2022 posted the highest level of prime price growth on an annual basis (5.2%) since the global financial crisis.

As highlighted in Knight Frank’s Outlook Report 2023 and the HNW Pulse Survey, everything points to an increase in real estate investment. Whether for the perceived inflation hedge, diversification benefits or as a boon in times of uncertainty, a third of HNWIs are looking to increase their residential holdings.

Spain was revealed in Knight Frank’s annual Attitudes Survey to be in the top 3 chosen locations for purchasing homes for the world’s wealthy. In 2022, the number of property transactions in Spain was the highest in the last 13 and a half years, with 646,241 sales, which represented an increase of 14.5% in comparison to the year before. However, the year has had two different parts, with a very favourable first half followed by a gradual cooling of the market in the second half, setting up excellent results for 2022 as a whole, but with less promising expectations for 2023.

With regards to Andalucía, international buyers represented 15% of all transactions, approximately 3.5% higher than the previous year. British buyers accounted for 16.31% of all purchases made by foreign buyers last year, with Swedish buyers in second place representing 8.82%, a decrease from 10.28% in the previous year.

In the province of Málaga, in 2022, more than a third of property sales (33.5%) were to foreign buyers, resulting in an increase of 6.12% in respect to the previous year. According to the Association of Property Registrars, the UK (16%) continues to lead among the nationalities of buyers, followed by Sweden (12%) and the Netherlands (8%).

In Marbella, a continued increase in buyers from Eastern Europe (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic) is being noted. Last year DM/KF recorded sales to buyers of more than 18 different nationalities, with a noticeable increase from Polish buyers. In stark contrast with global reports of buyers of luxury properties getting younger, in 2022 the average age of their buyers stood at 55.

What buyers are looking for

DM Properties has identified specific trends from international buyers, stating that they have not changed much since previous years, but noting that more and more buyers are looking for newly built properties that are ready to move in, without the need for further worries. The top 3 nationalities that chose to buy a new build property in Spain in 2022 were Belgian (24.5%), followed by Dutch (21.9%) and Polish (21.3%).

At a local level, it is important to note that when it comes to second-hand property, Marbella continues to be more in demand than its neighbouring towns whereas Estepona takes the lead in new build properties, where most construction has taken place in recent years due to availability of land and smoother processes in obtention of building licenses.

Another trend to highlight is the ‘turn-key villas’ sector, where buyers want to have a ready-to-go property instead of having to go through a refurbishment process. These villas, which were traditionally harder to sell than apartments, have been selling well in prices up to 2 million euros, whilst those in mid to high price range are still more challenging to sell in their construction phase.

Security, ample spaces, services and amenities within 5-star resort-type developments are some of the buyers’ most demanded aspects according to said report, as well as a sustained commitment to Branded Residences, with the increasing presence of internationally recognised luxury brands.

New tax advantages

One of the new featured sections this year in the DM Properties | Knight Frank Marbella Real Estate Market Report is the impact of tax changes and the implementation of the “Startup” Law (Law for the Promotion of Emerging Companies) in Spain at the end of 2022, with new tax regulations that benefit foreign digital nomads and newly established companies.

This new law includes important tax measures, eliminates bureaucratic obstacles and makes the procedures to create and invest in startups more flexible. It also offers incentives to attract international talent and recover local talent, encouraging remote workers and digital nomads to establish themselves in Spain. Important tax advantages are also introduced, such as the reduction of Corporation Tax and Non-Resident Income Tax. The elimination of Wealth Tax in Andalucía which was previously applied to the net value of Spanish assets for non-residents, and to global assets for residents, above 700,000 euros in accordance with a progressive scale of up to 3.5%.

However, a similar tax has since been reintroduced by the central government: Billed as a temporary measure, a new “Solidarity Tax” is being levied on net assets of €3 million-plus, although Spanish resident taxpayers may apply a €700,000 reduction and an additional €300,000 is deductible for primary residences. In those regions in Spain where Wealth Tax is still applicable, the Solidarity Tax will only be charged if the rate exceeds the Wealth Tax due.

It has been shown that, after the pandemic, Marbella has firmly maintained its position in the spotlight as an investment destination and place of residence for citizens of Northern Europe, consolidating itself in 2023 as an unparalleled investment hot spot, with a flourishing real estate market, a prosperous tourism sector, a favourable economic climate and offering an attractive lifestyle.

Málaga, 22^nd May 2023 – Over the past week, Málaga has become the heart of Italian culture and art thanks to the sixth edition of the Italian Film Festival in the city, organised by the Dante Alighieri Society in Málaga. This event is committed to bringing the seventh art, as something that captures and transmits values, to Malaga´s society, providing an additional attraction to the leisure it already offers. The Festival was celebrated in person from the 13^th to the 21^st May with a programme that featured six films, cinematographic discussions, a great participation success from the public, critics, media coverage, and has received support from public and private institutions.

Committed to its objective of reflecting the best of current Italian cinema, the screenings have brought together leading names in both Italian and European cinema, as well as very promising names, that establish the event as a benchmark of the neighbouring country’s culture. There was a total of six programmed films, one per day at 7:30pm projected in the Albéniz Cinema, where other activities are also included such as the opening concert of Laamar, in the Victoria brewery, the creation of a mural by the urban international artist Alice Pasquini, on one of the walls adjacent to the Centre of Contemporary Art in Málaga, the CAC (Calle Navalón), and the original closing event in La Polivalente with the work Tu Pirandello, e io?, by the Italian theatre company Lacunarii.

“The Festival has presented a programme of the highest quality, with award-winning works in different competitions, including eight from the recent David de Donatello, and renowned names such as Felix Van Groeningen, Chiara Bellosi, Pupi Avati, Paolo Virzì, Emanuele Crialese y Roberto Andò. The result has been brilliant, with an important increase of viewers, establishing its prestige as a cinematographic event in the theatres of the Albéniz Cinema and, above all, as an important cultural offering of the city,” states Agustín Gómez, Director of the event.

In terms of the audience, the event had almost 1000 spectators and participants in its different activities, including almost 500 tickets issued, as well as those who attended other direct access activities, with approval or invitation. This places the festival in similar figures to those of the last edition in terms of revenue, but with a 40% increase of viewers, to which the participants in the opening and closing ceremonies, and other cultural events organised during the festival are yet to be included.

Among them were more than 200 students who attended the surrounding area of the García Lorca school, close to the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), to see the work of one of the most recognised street artists in Italy in person. After having left her mark in major cities in five continents such as London, New York, Sydney, Singapore and Marrakech, Pasquini is the first Italian artist to leave her signature in the Soho area of Málaga along with prominent urban artists such as D*Face, Obey and Roa, among others. Thanks to Marta Gargiulo, coordinator of the work, Pasquini had access to a wall of 24 metres in length to express her “idea of hope and equality for a better world.”

“In my works, I talk about relationships between people and human feelings. In this case I have painted the Mediterranean sea as the meeting point of several characters emerging from the water and I want to leave a clear message to the city: we all swim in the same waters. I would like to thank the Italian Film Festival in Málaga and the Dante Alighieri Society for contributions like this to Italian culture around the world”, the artist stated.

One of the characteristics of the format of the Italian Film Festival in Malaga are the discussions between the actors, actresses and directors of the films with the attending audience, which take place after each screening, “maintaining in this way a live dialogue with culture”, the director of the festival indicates. “Cinema offers a tight link with the society in which it is produced, because every film’s production process has a unique place in a social context. Therefore, it is a tool that plays an important role in getting to know the mindset of each nation; this is the great contribution of the sociology of cinema to humanity”, he adds.

In this edition, the rising star of Italian cinema, Gaia di Pietro, was present at the screening of ‘Calcinculo’ and was able to tell the audience how the interpretation of her difficult character was created.

The president of the Dante Alighieri Society in Málaga, Giovanni Caprara, thanked the hard work of Nicola Labate, Co-Director of the Festival, “on the proposal, selection and launch of current and top-quality films of Italian cinema for this 6th edition of the Festival”. Similarly, Caprara was very satisfied with the production of the Festival and with the impact it has had on a local level with this edition: “spectators have come from different parts of the province. This shows that we have put the name on the map, both for the Dante Alighieri Society as well as the Festival and Italian culture. It has had a great impact, both among audiences as well as the media. Today we are one day closer to the next edition in 2024”.
