TL;DR — The Short Version

Everything you need to know about Lomas de Pozuelo

Tucked between Rio Real and Marbella, Lomas de Pozuelo is one of those places that residents discover and never want to leave. A low-density, private residential urbanisation with a genuine countryside feel, mature gardens and spectacular views across Marbella and the coast. Yet Marbella's centre is five minutes by car, the beach is fifteen minutes on foot, and La Cañada shopping centre is five minutes in either direction. It is where we both chose to make our home. And once you arrive and see those views, you'll understand why.

Location

Hidden in the hills between Rio Real and Marbella

Lomas de Pozuelo sits in the hills between Rio Real and Marbella, reached either via the Torre Real turn-off or by heading up through Bello Horizonte from the iconic Marbella Arch.

That elevated position is one of its defining qualities. As you arrive at the entrance to the urbanisation, the views across Marbella and the Costa del Sol open up in front of you. It stops you every time.

The Urbanisations

The communities of Lomas de Pozuelo

Lomas de Pozuelo is made up of a series of roads featuring traditional Andalusian and modern luxury villas with mature gardens, private pools and sea views, alongside a small number of carefully considered residential communities.

Jardines de las Lomas
Townhouses · Character · Low Density

Eighteen candy-coloured townhouses arranged around a central mature garden and community swimming pool. Low density, beautifully kept and full of character.

Ronda de Alineados
Townhouses · Andalusian Style · Community Garden

A circular urbanisation of white Andalusian-style townhouses, each one slightly different from the next. The homes surround a beautiful community garden with a generously sized communal pool.

The List
New Build · Luxury · Rooftop Pools

Twenty-seven brand new modern luxury townhouses with four and five bedrooms, rooftop pools and sea views. One of the most sought-after new developments in the area.

La Finca de Marbella
Contemporary Villas · Golf & Beach Access

A contemporary villa complex sitting on the border between Lomas de Pozuelo and Rio Real, combining modern architecture with easy access to both communities.

Outdoor Living

Countryside feel, coast on the doorstep

Despite its peaceful, almost rural atmosphere, Lomas de Pozuelo connects you directly to some excellent outdoor routes.

Hiking

Several walks start directly from the urbanisation. A beautiful river walk follows the Rio Real through the countryside. A shorter circular route takes you through the hills at a gentler pace. For the more energetic, you can walk up into the hills behind Los Monteros and Los Altos de Los Monteros, with extraordinary views as your reward.

The Beach

Rio Real Beach is fifteen minutes on foot or three minutes by car. Playa El Cable is ten minutes on foot, with all-day parking available for just one euro. From either beach you can join the Senda Litoral, the wooden coastal boardwalk that stretches along the Mediterranean towards Marbella.

Our favourite thing to do at sunset or first thing in the morning. The dog beach along this stretch is an added bonus for those with four-legged residents.

"Walking to the beach or into Marbella along the Senda Litoral — our favourite thing to do at sunset or first thing in the morning."

Day-to-Day Life

Genuinely easy to live in

A children's park sits next to the urbanisation and a dog park is within a five-minute walk. The bus stop, also five minutes on foot, connects you to Marbella centre and La Cañada via the 6B, and between Cabopino and La Cañada via the 6.

Worth knowing: when you register as a Marbella resident, you receive a free bus pass.

"Register as a Marbella resident and your bus pass is free. One of those small details that makes life noticeably easier."

For everyday dining, the Parrilla de Bello Horizonte is a ten-minute walk away — a local restaurant specialising in barbecue meat and fish that has become a firm favourite with residents.

Rio Real Golf, five minutes by car, is equally good for a long lunch or a catch-up with friends as it is for a round on the course.

Marbella's old town, with its extraordinary range of restaurants, markets and boutiques, is five minutes by car — without touching the highway.

From candy-coloured townhouses to traditional Andalusian villas and brand new luxury developments, Lomas de Pozuelo has genuine variety within a small, well-kept area.

Peaceful surroundings, easy access to Marbella without highway driving, good public transport and a strong community feel. One of the most practical and enjoyable places to retire on the Costa del Sol.

Why We Love Living Here

We could write about it at length. The truth is quite simple.

It feels like the countryside, but Marbella is on our doorstep. We can walk to the beach, catch a bus to La Cañada, hike into the hills or be sitting in Marbella's old town within five minutes — all without touching the highway.

The community is established and neighbourly. The gardens are mature. The streets are quiet.

And every time we arrive home and those views across Marbella and the coast come into sight, we remember exactly why we chose to live here.
