The place
The golf estate at the quiet end of the valley
Los Naranjos is the neighbourhood round Los Naranjos Golf Club, on the western side of the Nueva Andalucía valley behind Puerto Banús. The club sits on Plaza de Cibeles with seventy hectares of fairway around it, and the houses stand on the ground that was left, along Calle Sirio and Calle Orión to the west, in Haza del Conde to the north west and on Calle Osa Menor above the top of the course.
Of the three golf addresses in the valley this is the one furthest from the marina and the last before the valley ends, with only the Guadaiza and the hills of Benahavís beyond it to the west. More than four in every five homes for sale here are houses on their own plots, the land register shows most of them at two floors, and the mountain La Concha fills the skyline to the north east.
This guide sets out how a second course north of Las Brisas became a members’ club with a neighbourhood round it, what the official street register says about each part, what living here is like through a winter, and what the numbers say, including the running costs that no official body publishes and that we hold ourselves.

Where exactly it is
Between La Quinta and Aloha
Los Naranjos read west to east across the upper valley, with north at the top. The clubhouse on Plaza de Cibeles carries the pin for the neighbourhood, with Haza del Conde a few hundred metres to its north west and the Magna Marbella course immediately to the south. La Quinta is over the ridge to the west, in Benahavís. Las Brisas is about a kilometre to the south east and Aloha a little over a kilometre and a half due east, and Puerto Banús is out of the frame, about ten minutes down the hill.

Before the orange grove was a golf course
Farmland on the western side of the valley, then fairways and the streets beside them
The same frame of ground on the western side of the valley was flown twice, seventy years apart. In 1956 it is fields and farm tracks, and the earliest house in the register here is still sixteen years away. The course arrived in 1977, and the fairways have held the centre of the frame open ever since while the streets filled in round them.
Nothing was added to these frames and nothing was moved. The only thing that changes is how much of the ground is spoken for. Historic and current imagery © Instituto Geográfico Nacional de España, both rendered through one frame at one scale.
How it came to be
A second course north of Las Brisas, laid over an orange grove
Los Naranjos began as an instruction from the company that built Nueva Andalucía, which already had Las Brisas open and wanted a second course on the estate, just to the north of the first. The club’s own history records the site as seventy hectares of gently rolling land with a stream running through it and an orange grove, which is where the name comes from. Robert Trent Jones was asked for a championship course of classic design, long, with wide fairways and large greens, and that is what he drew.
The course opened in 1977 and for its first five years it was run together with Las Brisas, so closely that the round started at what is now the third hole, the nearest one to the older club. The original clubhouse still stands beside the second green and is a private villa today. In 1982 the founding company sold both courses, Las Brisas became a private club owned by its shareholders, and Los Naranjos carried on as a course anyone could pay to play.
The club that exists now dates from 1989, when the course was bought by a Swedish businessman and turned into a shareholders’ club with a limited membership that still makes room for visiting golfers. A new clubhouse opened on Plaza de Cibeles in 1991 and the holes were reordered around it, so that the round now ends on a par five played straight towards the terrace. The Scandinavian connection has lasted, and the club still publishes in Swedish alongside Spanish and English.
The houses followed the golf rather than the other way round, and the land register dates the sequence. The first buildings in the sectors west and north of the course carry 1972, five years before the opening, Haza del Conde starts in 1978, and the hill sector above the top of the course belongs to the second half of the eighties.

Living here
A members’ club with a neighbourhood round it
The clubhouse on Plaza de Cibeles does most of the work a village square would do elsewhere. Its restaurant, Hacienda Los Naranjos, serves an international menu with a Scandinavian accent from early morning until late evening, on a terrace facing the course with two roof terraces above it. The course itself is par 72 with four sets of tees, from 5,054 metres to 6,564 at full stretch, and it has carried professional golf more than once. José Rivero beat Severiano Ballesteros here at the first extra hole of the Spanish PGA Championship in 1989, and the women’s Spanish Open came in 2021.
Families here have a state school at the bottom of the hill and an international one across the valley. CEIP José Banús, the state primary for this part of Nueva Andalucía, stands on Avenida Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer about nine hundred metres south of the clubhouse. Aloha College, founded in 1982 and one of the first schools in Spain to teach the International Baccalaureate, is about two kilometres east in El Ángel, a school run of a few minutes that never touches the coast road.
Private healthcare is close in both directions, with HC Marbella beside Puerto Banús and Quirónsalud Marbella further east by the fishing port, and Helicópteros Sanitarios has run a 24 hour home doctor and ambulance service from Puerto Banús since 1988. The public hospital for this coast, Hospital Costa del Sol, is on the A-7 east of Marbella town. Puerto Banús and San Pedro de Alcántara are each about ten minutes by car, Marbella’s old town about twenty, and Málaga airport around fifty. There is no railway on this part of the coast, so a car is part of life here.
The rest of the week is closer to home than most people expect of a golf estate. Los Naranjos Padel Club, on Avenida Valle Inclán a little under a kilometre south of the clubhouse, has eighteen courts, a gym and a restaurant and opens every day from eight in the morning. The Saturday market on the Centro Plaza esplanade is a few minutes further down the valley, with a supermarket beside it. The beach is the one thing you drive to, about ten minutes to the sand either side of the marina.

What things cost
What is asked, and what was paid
Two numbers both get called “the price” here, and setting them side by side without saying which is which is how a guide contradicts itself. So they are kept apart. Registered sale prices are published by postcode only, and 29660 covers Los Naranjos together with the rest of Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús, so the deed figure on this page is all of them read as one. The asking prices are Los Naranjos’s own.
Asking prices, per square metre
The bar is the middle half of what is being asked for each type in Los Naranjos right now, from the cheapest quarter to the dearest. The number in the row is the typical figure. Nothing here has necessarily sold at these prices; that is what the panel beside it is for.

What buyers actually paid
Registered sale prices are only published by postcode, and postcode 29660 covers Los Naranjos together with the rest of Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús. So the deed figure below is for the whole district rather than for Los Naranjos alone. Across it, homes completed this year at a typical €4,739 per square metre, 2 per cent above Marbella as a whole. Houses went for €5,273 over an average 354 square metres, against €4,924 for a house in Marbella as a whole.
Read the two panels together and the lesson is the usual one: asking prices run over standing stock, which quietly accumulates every overpriced home that never sells, while deeds count only what traded. The gap between them is mostly that selection effect, not a discount waiting to be claimed. The full postcode picture, by property type, is on the Nueva Andalucía page.

No official body publishes what is available to buy, only what has already sold, so this part comes from our own intelligence. Through our network memberships we see every resale property listed through an agency on this coast, which means we know both what is genuinely on the market in Los Naranjos and where the same home is being advertised more than once. This covers resale stock only, not new construction sold directly by developers.
The shape of what comes to market is the plainest thing about this address. More than four in every five homes listed are houses on their own plots, a higher share than the valley as a whole and far higher than Aloha next door, and that matches a land register in which most parcels round the course carry two floors and almost nothing rises above three. The apartments and penthouses that do appear are few, and they tend to belong to the communities on the hill above the course or to the apartment complexes that carry the Naranjos name on the far side of Aloha, about two and a half kilometres east of the clubhouse.

What it costs to own
The figure nobody official publishes
Every buyer eventually asks what a home here costs to hold, and no public body answers it. We can, because we record it. Across the Los Naranjos listings that publish their running costs, the median annual property tax, the IBI, is €1,650, and the median community charge is €1,686. Together that is €3,336 a year before utilities, garden and pool.
On the same measure that is the lightest annual bill of the golf addresses round it. Las Brisas runs at €3,894 a year, Aloha at €4,800 and La Quinta, over the ridge, at €4,125, with Nueva Andalucía as a whole at €4,400. The community charge accounts for most of the gap, because a villa on its own plot in Haza del Conde or on Calle Sirio shares very little with its neighbours, where an apartment community at Aloha or La Quinta shares gardens, pools and staff.
The figure for any one house depends on the plot under it and on whether its street belongs to a community at all, so we put the actual IBI receipt and the community budget for the property in front of you before you make an offer.

Los Naranjos compared to nearby areas
The three golf estates, and the ridge beyond
Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha are the three golf estates of one valley, a few minutes apart, and La Quinta is the fourth course a buyer here will be shown, across the ridge in Benahavís. All four are built round a golf course, and they differ in what stands beside the fairways and in what it costs to keep.
| Address | Typical asking, per m² | Listed | Running costs, per year | Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Los Naranjos | €8,682 | 85 houses and villas | €3,336 | The western estate, almost all houses, round a members’ club that takes visitors |
| Las Brisas | €9,559 | 123 houses and villas | €3,894 | The first course and the most private club, villa country on the valley floor |
| Aloha | €7,436 | 108 houses and villas | €4,800 | The eastern estate, with the widest choice of apartments and the college |
| La Quinta | €8,672 | 347 houses and villas | €4,125 | Over the ridge in Benahavís, higher and greener, with a resort hotel on the course |
Typical is the median asking price per built square metre for the type of home most listed in each area, named beside the count (houses and villas, or apartments), as at 8 August 2026; running costs are the median annual IBI plus community charge where enough listings publish them. From our own records.
The useful comparison between the four is the kind of day each one gives you. Las Brisas is the oldest name, a private club owned by its members, and it sits closest to the marina. Aloha has the college and far more apartments, so it is where a lock up and leave home is easiest to find. La Quinta trades a longer drive for height and a resort hotel. Los Naranjos is the one where nearly everything is a house, the club lets you play before you belong, and the mountain is in front of you on the way home. Which of those matters most depends on how you plan to use the home, and that is a conversation rather than a table.

Who buys here
Three buyers, and what Los Naranjos gives each of them
The golfer.
The course is the reason the neighbourhood exists and it is a serious one, par 72 and more than six and a half kilometres from the back tees, with a members’ club that still takes visitors. Las Brisas and Aloha are both a few minutes east and La Quinta is over the ridge to the west, so four clubs are inside a ten minute drive of the front door.
The year-round home.
Most of what is here is a house on a plot of a thousand square metres or more, on a residential street named after a star, and the valley below it works in February. The state primary school is at the foot of the neighbourhood, Aloha College is about two kilometres east, and San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús are each about ten minutes away in opposite directions.
The buyer comparing the three golf estates.
Las Brisas, Aloha and Los Naranjos share a valley, a postcode and a designer between two of them, and they do not feel alike. This is the western one, the last built and the quietest, with the fewest apartments and the lightest annual bill of the three on our figures. For a buyer who wants a villa by a fairway at the quieter end of the valley, that is usually the argument.
Common questions
Questions we are asked about Los Naranjos
Where is Los Naranjos in Marbella?
Los Naranjos is the neighbourhood round Los Naranjos Golf Club, on the western side of the Nueva Andalucía golf valley behind Puerto Banús, in postcode 29660. The clubhouse stands on Plaza de Cibeles, with Las Brisas about a kilometre to the south east, Aloha a little further to the east and La Quinta over the ridge to the west in Benahavís. Puerto Banús and San Pedro de Alcántara are each about ten minutes by car.
Is Los Naranjos Golf Club private?
The club is owned by its shareholders and has a limited membership, and it also takes visiting golfers, which sets it apart from Las Brisas next door. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1977, it is par 72, and it measures between 5,054 and 6,564 metres depending on the tee. The restaurant in the clubhouse is open to non golfers.
What type of property for sale in Los Naranjos is most common?
Houses and villas make up the great majority of what is for sale here. Of the 105 resale properties currently listed, 87 are houses, 12 are apartments, 4 are penthouses and 2 are townhouses. The typical asking price for a villa is €8,682/m², and the land register shows most plots round the course at a thousand square metres or more.
What does it cost to run a home in Los Naranjos?
Across the Los Naranjos listings that publish their running costs, the median annual IBI is €1,650 and the median community charge €1,686, together €3,336 a year before utilities and garden. Las Brisas runs at €3,894 and Aloha at €4,800 on the same measure. No official body publishes this figure. It comes from our own records.
Is Los Naranjos de Marbella the same place as Los Naranjos Golf?
The two share a name and a postcode and are about two and a half kilometres apart. Los Naranjos Golf is the villa neighbourhood round the course, on streets named after stars and constellations. The apartment communities known as Los Naranjos de Marbella stand on the eastern side of the valley beyond Aloha, and the land register files them separately. Both appear in searches for the name, so it is worth asking which one a listing means before you arrange a viewing.
Which streets are in Los Naranjos?
The official street register groups them in three, and each group has its own side of the course. West and south west are Calle Sirio, Calle Orión and Calle Tucán. North west of the clubhouse is Haza del Conde, with Calle Casiopea, Calle Cefeo and Calle Centauro. Above the northern end of the course are Calle Osa Menor and Calle Pez Austral, where the plots are the largest. Between them the three groups hold more than seven hundred registered homes.
