Chestertons Global has announced its latest office launch, Chestertons Marbella on the Costa del Sol bringing one of Southern Europe’s most internationally active luxury property markets into its growing international network.
The partnership with Spain’s Miclijor Group combines deep local expertise with Chestertons Global’s international reach and 220-year heritage. Operating from the famous Marbella Club Hotel on the Golden Mile, Chestertons Marbella covers Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona – the three municipalities that form the core of prime residential enclaves in the region.
The partnership reflects sustained international buyer demand for prime property on the Costa del Sol, a market that has moved well beyond its earlier identity as a seasonal holiday destination. Demand is now driven by long-term residents, high-net-worth families, tech entrepreneurs and investors who view the region as a durable wealth-preservation asset. Prime residential supply in key areas, including the Golden Mile, Sierra Blanca, La Zagaleta, Nueva Andalucía and Marbella East, remains limited, which continues to underpin values at the upper end of the market.
Marbella has seen increase in global buyers from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Switzerland and Eastern Europe, alongside growing interest from the Middle East and North America. Málaga airport’s direct connections to much of Europe and beyond have reinforced the region’s accessibility, while infrastructure including international schools and private healthcare has made Marbella an increasingly attractive proposition for year-round relocation rather than purely second-home ownership.
Chestertons Marbella is led by Managing Director Jorden Meirsman, part of the Miclijor Group, a leading real estate, development and construction firm based on the Costa del Sol. Raised and educated in Belgium, where he studied real estate, Meirsman brings both brokerage expertise and a working understanding of architecture, construction and long-term asset value.
The office’s current portfolio reflects the breadth of the market. Listings include Design Hills Dolce&Gabbana Marbella, designed by The One Atelier, a branded residential development on the Golden Mile offering residences priced between €5 million and €20 million, and a contemporary villa in La Quinta, Benahavís, guided at €18.65 million. Both properties illustrate the increasing appetite for either branded lifestyle developments or architecturally distinctive homes in established golf and residential communities.
Mohamed Mussa, Managing Director of Chestertons Global, commented:
“Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol market sits at the intersection of lifestyle and investment in a way that very few markets in Europe can match. Buyers are no longer just acquiring a vacation home here, they are choosing it as a primary base, a family relocation, or a long-term asset within a broader portfolio. Chestertons Marbella brings expertise, advisory capability, local depth and an exceptional network of international clients.
Jorden Meirsman, Managing Director of Chestertons Marbella, added:
“The clients we work with are sophisticated and well-informed. We advise global buyers to help them understand exact location, community quality, construction standards, planning context and what a property will be worth in five or 10 years. Joining Chestertons Global gives us a direct connection to qualified international buyers and referral partners who share that standard of client service, while we continue to provide on-the-ground expertise.”
The partnership forms part of Chestertons Global’s broader European expansion, which focuses on partnering with established local firms in prime markets where international buyer flows are significant and specialist advisory capability adds value.
