Huerta Belón is the only residential area comprising detached villas situated just 200 metres from Avenida Ricardo Soriano, right in the heart of Marbella. It offers the exclusivity of plots exceeding 1,000 m² and complete privacy, combined with walking distance to Michelin-starred restaurants, the beach and essential amenities, ensuring constant demand for property.

Often, the search for a luxury property forces us to make a difficult decision: to sacrifice the convenience of having everything within easy reach in exchange for the privacy of a villa, or to give up a garden to live in the city centre. For those unwilling to make concessions, finding that balance seems like an urban myth. However, after decades of managing the most exclusive properties from the offices of Nevado Realty, we can confirm that this oasis does exist. It is called Huerta Belón and is one of the city’s best-kept secrets.

Why is Huerta Belón the most sought-after area in the centre of Marbella?

Entering this residential development is like stepping through an invisible barrier. Just a two-minute walk from the bustling shops on the main avenue (Ricardo Soriano), the urban landscape of tall buildings disappears completely.

Here, tranquillity is the true luxury. There are no crowds, no heavy traffic and no constant noise. It is the only truly central area where you can enjoy a detached house with mature gardens and a private swimming pool. This architectural gem is a magnet for international buyers seeking exclusivity without isolation.

What services and amenities does living just a stone’s throw from Ricardo Soriano offer?

Living here means reclaiming your time. The need to rely on a car disappears completely, dramatically improving the quality of daily life and enabling a much more sustainable way of living.

Haute cuisine on foot: within a 500-metre radius you’ll find iconic establishments such as Skina (awarded two Michelin stars) and the prestigious temple of Japanese cuisine, Takumi.
Shopping and local businesses: the range extends from Ricardo Soriano’s sought-after boutiques (Joyería Gómez y Molina, Zara, Mango) to the traditional charm of the Municipal Market, where you’ll find the finest fresh produce just a five-minute walk away.
Education and sports facilities: the French International School is situated a mere 600 metres away. Meanwhile, the Paco Cantos Sports Centre and Vigil de Quiñones Park provide green spaces that are ideal for family life and sporting activities.
El Calvario Chapel: just outside Huerta Belón, heading down Calle Calvario and a few metres from Ricardo Soriano, you’ll find this charming little church where worshippers can go to confession or attend mass.
