Every year at this time an important number of Swedish residents disembark in the Costa del Sol, who together with the tourists, in continuous increase year after year, form a community every day more relevant for the economy of the region. After spending the hot summer months in their countries of origin enjoying, among other things, golf, they return to the Costa del Sol to continue practicing this sport during the European winter season.
The View Marbella and Los Naranjos Golf Club held yesterday a golf tournament and a party set in the 20s to welcome this group that remains faithful to the destination. Since the Scandinavian tourism began to arrive to the peninsula in the 70s with the beginnings of charter flights and group tourism, the Costa del Sol has been a favorite destination to visit but also to live. A trend, that of residential tourism, in which the Nordic client has gained special prominence. In fact, the managers of The View Marbella have registered an important level of request of information from Sweden.
It currently occupies the second position in its ranking of nationalities, headed by Belgians. “These two nationalities represent in recent years our main clients,” highlights Simon Boxus, sales manager of The View Marbella. “Previously, the market was controlled by the British public but since the announcement of Brexit these two countries have climbed positions to head most of the listings in the real estate market,” relates Boxus. The Nordic buyer has been visiting the Costa del Sol for decades and has a very important knowledge of the local real estate market, which makes him a highly informed and demanding client.
Initially, he opted for the standard two-bedroom home for use during the winter months, but he has evolved enormously and is now looking for high-end housing with spacious rooms and modern architecture in price ranges that start at 1 million euros for apartments and 2.5 million euros for villas. In addition, his knowledge of the area makes him request ideal locations, close to all facilities, with excellent access and close to the well-known Golf Valley to practice one of his favorite sports.
From the identification of all these needs are born projects like The View Marbella, a real luxury complex, located on the Golf Valley where you find a home designed to detail that includes all your needs. This boutique complex has not left any detail to chance. Each material included has been studied and valued meticulously, as well as each plan developed to provide a spacious, comfortable home and taking advantage of the best views available in the area. From the landscaping project, to the on-site facilities, the style of decoration, the sustainability, or the common areas, everything has been studied to deserve the luxury designation.
