Carmen Duran - Sep 3, 2024 - Pure Living News
Finca Cortesín, considered the best golf resort in Europe, has become, in recent years, the perfect haven for lovers of quiet and discreet luxury. The hotel opened its doors in 2009 as one of the most luxurious spaces in Andalusia and soon after also established itself as a prestigious high-quality residential destination, known for its majestic villas, low urban density, and a sophisticated and relaxed lifestyle.
With a strategic location, set amidst nature between Marbella and Sotogrande, Finca Cortesín has managed to redefine the concept of Mediterranean luxury, especially for those seeking discretion, nature, sea views, and an unparalleled golf offering.
The philosophy of quiet luxury is felt in every corner of Finca Cortesín, an Andalusian-style construction built in harmony with its surroundings, which houses one of the best hotels in the world.
This exquisite essence is also maintained in the residential aspect, with a catalogue of villas in Mediterranean, classic, modern, and contemporary styles, all newly built on large plots, most with panoramic views of the sea, golf course, or mountains.
“Here, luxury is not loud; it whispers with the elegance of classic Andalusian architecture, mixed with contemporary elements that blend perfectly into the Mediterranean landscape. The properties at Finca Cortesín are designed for those who seek privacy and exclusivity without sacrificing comfort and access to first-class services,” says Javier Nieto, CEO of Pure Living Properties.
Why Invest in Finca Cortesín?
Finca Cortesín is a kind of hidden gem, a location where some investors have already set their sights, anticipating significant growth in the coming years.
At Pure Living Properties, we are convinced that Finca Cortesín is currently one of the best places on the Costa del Sol to invest in a luxury property, and here are the 5 key reasons to do so as soon as possible:
1.Low Urban Density:
One of the main reasons to invest in Finca Cortesín is the natural environment surrounding this unique enclave. Unlike other residential areas on the Costa del Sol, which are much more crowded, Finca Cortesín stands out for its low urban density, which practically translates into high levels of privacy, security, and tranquility. The land extends over more than 215 hectares, of which only a small part is urbanized, allowing residents to enjoy lush gardens, unobstructed views, and a serene lifestyle. This approach attracts buyers who value exclusivity and privacy, qualities that will also increase property values in the long term.
2.Strategic Location:
Finca Cortesín is located in a privileged area, between two of the most iconic destinations in the Spanish luxury market: Sotogrande (21KM) and Marbella (40KM), providing access to all the premium services, facilities, and infrastructure that both locations offer within just 30 minutes. International schools, top-tier medical centers, high-end dining options, and luxury yacht marinas…
Regarding international connections, Finca Cortesín is just 37KM from Gibraltar Airport and 91KM from Málaga Costa del Sol Airport.
Moreover, despite being set in nature, Finca Cortesín enjoys easy access to all types of services in San Luis de Sabinillas (only 4KM away) and Estepona (11KM away), a key city in the Golden Triangle of the Costa del Sol.
3.Significant Future Projection:
The Casares Costa area, where Finca Cortesín is located, is one of the regions that has appreciated the most in recent years, with a price increase of around 15% in the last 12 months. This location still has a lower saturation level than other more urbanized areas of the Costa del Sol, offering greater potential for property value appreciation. Investing here means staying one step ahead of other more mature markets, with the potential to capitalize on a booming market while enjoying the beauty and traditional Andalusian charm. Currently, the municipality boasts a total of five hotel projects, all of which are Five-Star or Five-Star Grand Luxury, with a combined investment of over 220 million euros. One of the most notable projects comes from the Finca Cortesín resort itself, which will expand its facilities with a new wellness hotel focused on health tourism, representing an investment of around 100 million euros. Hilton, with its luxury Conrad division, and Barceló are other chains already developing initiatives in the area.
On the residential side, new developments of premium villas and apartments, including a branded residence with interiors designed by Missoni.
4.An Unparalleled Golf Offering:
Finca Cortesín is undoubtedly the perfect destination for top-level golf enthusiasts, whether professional or amateur players. The course, recognized as one of the best in Europe on multiple occasions, has 18 holes, was designed by the prestigious Cabell B. Robinson, and has gained international recognition not only for its beauty and challenge but also for the quality of its facilities. Finca Cortesín’s greens are spacious and meticulously maintained, offering a superior playing experience, even for the most demanding golfers.
This prestigious course has hosted important international tournaments, notably the Volvo World Match Play Championship on multiple occasions, and more recently, the 2023 Solheim Cup, one of the most important women’s golf events worldwide. Hosting these events places Finca Cortesín on the global golf map, attracting elite athletes and also increasing the prestige of properties in this area.
Additionally, Finca Cortesín offers a top-level golf academy and an exclusive caddie service, further enhancing the experience for residents and visitors. Homeowners at Finca Cortesín have preferential access to the golf course and can enjoy exclusive benefits.
5.High Return on Investment:
Investing in Finca Cortesín offers a high return, both in the short and long term. The constant demand for luxury properties on the Costa del Sol, especially in such exclusive areas as Casares, ensures continuous property value appreciation. Finca Cortesín attracts a high-end international market, including investors and second-home buyers seeking luxury properties in an exclusive and safe environment. This demand, combined with the limited supply of properties due to the aforementioned low urban density, creates an ideal environment for solid returns both in property appreciation and rental income.
The resort also offers property management and rental options, making it easier for owners to generate passive income, especially during the high tourist season. Rental yields are high, thanks to the combination of a prime location, proximity to Marbella and Sotogrande, and the resort’s luxury facilities, making these properties highly sought after by high-end tourists and golfers.
