Marbella, September 9th, 2022 – More than 300 guests from many countries around the world gathered at the inauguration event of Club Med Magna Marbella yesterday evening, September 9th. The event was attended by the Mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, as well as the French Ambassador to Spain, Jean Michel Casa, and other authorities. “The continuous increase in our bookings confirms the appeal of Club Med and the attractiveness of Marbella for our clients, and we are committed to contributing to the development of tourism in this beautiful region,” says Henri Giscard d’Estaing, President of Club Med.

Club Med and Spain have a strong emotional link since the first day of its creation, in 1950 when the concept was born in Alcudia, Balearic Islands. The return to Spain therefore carries emotional weight, as the country is undoubtedly etched in Club Med’s history.

“The region of Andalusia is recovering from the years of crisis and I am glad that with the opening of Club Med Magna Marbella we can contribute to the growth of the region. Our culture, our hospitality and our food are incredible and we are delighted to share them with local and international tourists” says Jihad Megharief, President of Magna Hotels & Resorts, the group that owns the hotel.

After 2 years of crisis, clients from Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, England, Holland have decided that it was time to travel again and have been seduced by the tranquility, premium services, all-inclusive offer and the conviviality that Club Med offers. Speaking of the Spanish market in particular, “we are expected to increase by 162% our turnover in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period last year” says Rabeea Ansari, General Manager for Southern Europe and Emerging Markets. “We capture on average 64% of new customers in Spain and we have observed that once they are hooked on the Club Med product and offer, they become loyal” complements Ansari.

The Resort

Located in the Spanish region of Andalusia, at the foot of the Sierra Blanca, Club Med’s new 4 trident (4 star) family resort sprawls over 14 hectares of colorful gardens and terraces. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and within walking distance of the bustling city of Marbella, the resort is an unparalleled oasis of unspoiled greenery and lush flora.

Tradition with a touch of modernity is a theme that shows throughout the architecture and design of the complex. The property was designed with an indoor-outdoor concept that combines with vibrant décor inspired by the art, culture and nature of Marbella. The variety within the 485 rooms is ideal for every type of traveler, from families and couples to solo tourists and large groups. Each of the Deluxe, Superior and Family suites exudes a playful ambiance inspired by the region and surrounding landscape. The resort’s two restaurants and three bars offer unlimited culinary experiences, carefully selected to showcase the region’s local food and drink. The main restaurant “Sueños” is located at the heart of the resort, while the “Tierra Gourmet Lounge” welcomes guests throughout the day with a lively bar, wine cellar and gourmet snack bar ideal for Spanish wine tastings, happy hour, live music and tapas.

As part of Club Med’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility, the resort has enabled the creation of more than 300 direct jobs, more than half of which have been filled by local hiring, as well as 140 indirect local jobs. Following its opening, Magna Marbella aims to obtain Green Globe certification for a sustainable hotel operation. As part of the brand’s “Happy to Care” program, nearly 95% of Club Med resorts have obtained this green certification, which is renewed annually. In line with that commitment, the resort is also equipped with solar panels that will supply the energy needed to heat water, as well as a rainwater collection and treatment system that will be used to irrigate the gardens.

Marbella, April 12^th 2018.- The number of residential property sales in Marbella and its immediate surroundings, accompanied by the ever-increasing number of tourists year on year, have lead experts from the real estate and banking sectors to predict the beginning of a new golden era for the real estate sector in the area for the coming years.

According to the ‘Marbella Property Market Report 2018’ prepared by Christopher Clover, CEO of Panorama Properties, the longest established real estate agency in Marbella, there are still some areas where the price of housing is below the peaks of 2006 and 2007. However, the demand in the most sought-after areas of the municipality is outstripping supply, which has driven up prices, even almost doubling in the most exclusive areas compared to 2011, when the market hit bottom. These kinds of increases are located in very specific places such as the beachside of The Golden Mile.

The Costa del Sol, and especially Marbella, is one of the locations that most drives the residential real estate market. In fact, the National Institute of Statistics (INE) confirms that Malaga is the fourth Spanish province, in which the most houses were sold during 2017 (30,064 compared to 15,917 in the Balearic Islands), surpassed only by Madrid, Barcelona and Alicante.

According to Panorama’s ‘Marbella Property Market Report 2018’, the recovery of the residential market in the Marbella area began in 2012, two years earlier than in the rest of Spain, hence it is more consolidated than in the rest of the country. Currently, the cycle of new construction is gradually beginning, as confirmed by the figures of projects approved in 2017 by the Professional Order of Architects of Malaga. A total of 4,895 living units that represents only 10.88% of the 45,000 units approved in 2007.

“The strength of the current residential market lies with properties between 200,000 and 1,500,000€ for apartments and between 700,000 and 2,500,000€ for villas. Many of the properties located in the best residential areas that are between 20 and 50 years old, are being bought and either torn down and rebuilt, or totally refurbished, some by end users, others by professional developers”, specifies expert, Christopher Clover, who has been analysing and writing about the luxury real estate sector on the Costa del Sol for 48 years. It also highlights how “The strength of the Marbella market differs from that of the rest of Spain due to the “multi-source market”, that is, the extraordinary diversity of nationalities of the buyers coming from all over Europe and the rest of the world”.

Investors in the area acknowledge

 that the rental market in Marbella is experiencing a strong rebound, with increases in both demand and prices to unprecedented levels, especially for luxury and modern properties that also offer security. In addition, fixed and variable mortgages are offering interest rates at historic lows and tourism figures are breaking records year-on-year.

In an area well known for its “residential tourism”, real estate sales are closely related to the high number of tourists that visit Marbella, which is an added factor for positive analysis.

Christopher Clover concludes: ” For many, the hard evidence of the positive evolution of the Marbella property market, will no doubt lead them to conclude that 2018 and the coming years represent an outstanding time, perhaps even a historic opportunity, to purchase property in this area”.
