In Marbella we live in a style-conscious world in which two products with the same general characteristics and specs but different levels of design and presentation can vary greatly in appeal.

This is especially true of real estate, where buyers are very visually driven and need to be enthused to part with a significant sum of money in what remains one of the most important life purchases anyone can make. Private homebuyers often decide upon a property after they have fallen in love with it, which shows just how personal and even emotional a process it can be. After all, whether it is a permanent residence or a second home you are looking for in Nueva Andalucía, you have to really want a property and look forward to spending time in it to be tempted.

The prospect of selling a property in Marbella is greatly enhanced if the villa or apartment in question follows the latest trends in design, amenities and décor—and the same holds true for the agency marketing it.

Today’s homebuyer is not just seeking sleek contemporary designs, with clean and elegant open-plan interiors for their must-have property, they also demand a professional and friendly agent to welcome them in comfortable surroundings. Of course, the first thing a prospective purchaser of a Marbella villa or apartment is likely to see—even before meeting the agent let alone viewing a property—is the office of the sales company involved.

Another of the Exclusive Property Listings marketed by Nordica has sold within just a few weeks of being released on the market.

The penthouse in question is located Nueva Andalucía, the luxurious residential area of Marbella where Nordica is the specialist property agent with over 25 years of expertise that is hard to equal. The fact that it sold in a few weeks is telling. Why? Because although the Marbella real estate market is in a very healthy state right now it is still the exception rather than the rule to sell a luxurious home within such a short time. A more usual average lead time for a property of this kind and price class would be several months, so you can imagine the excitement of the owners at achieving such a fast sale once they had made up their mind to change homes.

Swedish golfer Henrik Stenson is having a brilliant year and is at the moment ranked as the world’s Number 4. On top of becoming the first Swedish golf champion after winning the 2016 British Open Championship at Royal Troon with a record score of 264, he has just won a silver medal at the Rio 2016 Olympics in the first year that golf became an Olympic event again after an absence of 112 years.

He only lost the gold to golfing buddy Justin Rose by a couple of points, somebody he describes as one of the best humoured golfers to play with on tour and the person you can depend on to make you laugh. Henrik is also renowned in the golfing world for being something of a practical joker himself, so it’s not difficult to imagine that although the Olympic final was a rather tense dual, both Rose and Stenson probably lightened the atmosphere with a few jokes on their way to the winners’ podium.

Visitors to Nueva Andalucía’s plush shopping centre Centro Plaza now have the opportunity to catch an imposing vista across leafy residential zones towards the mountains of Marbella and out to sea that previously was largely the preserve of owners of penthouse apartments.

The magnificent 360 degree views are available for everyone to enjoy on the rooftop terrace that was recently opened and has already become a popular addition to Centro Plaza in Nueva Andalucía.

This ‘mirador’ is more than simply a viewing point—as well as seating on which to relax there are information points with audio commentary available in both Spanish and English. Continue reading »

We love living in Spain—as our more than 30 years’ experience of selling villas and apartments in Marbella proves—but there are of course some aspects of the Spanish lifestyle that can be a little puzzling to people from other countries.

Principle amongst these are the opening hours—with many businesses closing in the afternoons for a long siesta, and not even considering the possibility of opening at weekends. This, of course leads to the question for many people holding down a full time job: “When can I talk to someone about my search for a home in Marbella? Whenever I have the time, the estate agents are closed.” Look no further than Nordica Sales & Rentals—we’re open when you need us!

We know people live busy lives, so first and foremost we make sure our working hours are convenient to our clients. In fact, the Nordica Sales & Rentals main sales office remains open seven days a week from 9.30am to 7pm—without siesta. Continue reading »

Nueva Andalucía’s ‘Big Three’ golf clubs of Las Brisas, Aloha and Los Naranjos may take the plaudits from international golfers, but the unique course of La Dama de Noche provides an alternative golfing experience right next to Puerto Banús.

This is the course whose emerald fairways can be glimpsed from the main coastal road as you approach the marina from Marbella, and also visible are the floodlight pylons that make it somewhere rather unique to play a round or two. La Dama de Noche was in fact the first course in Spain and only second in the world to be lit up at night, enabling players to enjoy their golf long after the sun goes down.
