Living in Nueva Andalucia
Leafy golf valley behind Puerto Banus. Great for families and golf lovers.
What it's like
Nueva Andalucia feels like a proper residential area rather than a holiday destination. The streets are wide, properties have gardens, and you'll need a car to get around. Centro Plaza is the main hub with supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants. The area is home to several top golf courses including Las Brisas and Los Naranjos. It's quieter than the coast, with a more settled expat community. Kids ride bikes, people walk dogs, and there's a genuine neighbourhood feel.
