This is the area that encompasses locations such as Rio Real, Los Monteros, El Rosario, Elviria and Las Chapas all of which are known for their more sandy beaches, larger plots, and quieter neighbourhoods but all with well-connected amenities and some of the best beach clubs and restaurants to be found along the coast. Nikki Beach, for example, is in the Elviria area and the Los Monteros hotel with it’s beach club La Cabane is a firm part of Marbella’s 5-star past, present and future.
