East Marbella is lively all year round, as opposed to some of the more seasonal areas of the Costa del Sol, and the local population is a mixture of Spanish, British, Scandinavian, Dutch and German residents.

Properties in East Marbella are known to be spacious and to have a more open and uninterrupted view than some of the more built up areas of the coast.

Cabopino is a popular marina situated between Elviria and Mijas Costa. It is a much smaller port than Benalmadena or Puerto Banus with169 moorings and its own laid-back style and is home to some very good restaurants and bars as well as a fabulous beach and golf course.

Albert's on the Port is the best known restaurant, especially for its steaks, along with Da Brunos and our personal favourite, the newly opened Dös which has one of the best atmospheres you will find.

Just inland Cabopino Golf Course is very scenic with views to the mountains and the sea.

The beach in Cabopino is one of the best on the Costa del Sol with exceptionally clean water and plenty of amenities to keep the whole family entertained. To the west of Cabopino is Artola which is the only section of beach in Marbella that is backed by extensive natural dunes and the only section of coast that is not urbanised.

The hotel also runs the ‘La Cabane' beach club a short walk (or golf buggy ride) down through the leafy urbanizacion at the sea front.

target property spain el rosario

El Rosario is a small, residential urbanisation with a mix of luxury villa and apartments, most of which are within walking distance of the beach. It's a great location for couples and families looking for somewhere quiet yet still close to all the amenities of Marbella.

El Rosario isn’t a town, but there are bars, restaurants and a supermarket in the local vicinity. For more amenities, the larger resort of Elviria is just five minutes in the car, and Marbella around 10 minutes drive.

El Rosario is home to two particularly lovely beach chiringuito’s (restaurants). Hippo’s is ideal for families with children, with a more laid-back menu, serving hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, etc. Los Canos, however, is at the other end of the scale, an upmarket beach restaurant, serving delicious fresh seafood dishes, paella and roasted meats.​
