The region of Istán itself is a hidden gem, often referred to as “The Spring of the Costa del Sol” or “The Green Lung of the Coast.” Its traditional village charm, complete with fountains, viewpoints, and winding streets, sits in contrast to the more modern urbanized area closer to Marbella—home to sought-after communities like Cerros del Lago, Zahara de Istán, Balcones del Lago, and others.

In addition, the nearby marina of Puerto Banús and a wide array of water sports and leisure activities add to the rich lifestyle offerings.

This is more than just a home—it’s a sanctuary where nature and luxury meet, providing a unique opportunity to live in one of the Costa del Sol’s most peaceful and picturesque settings.
