Rio Real
Río Real is highly sought after for its close proximity to Marbella (1.5 km) and is considered one of the most desirable areas in the region. It boasts an exceptional location with easy access to a variety of convenient services, including a hospital, La Cañada Shopping Centre, supermarkets, and more. Since the 1970s, Rio Real has gained international recognition, thanks to its iconic 5-star hotel, Hotel Incosol, which served as a refuge and sanctuary for numerous distinguished personalities of that era.
The crowning jewel of Rio Real is its magnificent 18-hole, Par 72 golf course, which gracefully extends throughout the entire residential area, all the way to the beach. Designed by the legendary Javier Arana, widely regarded as Spain’s premier golf course architect, this course is not only one of the oldest on the Costa del Sol (established in 1965) but also stands out as one of the most beautiful. Of particular note is the stunning fourth hole, which leads directly to the beach, offering breathtaking views of the sparkling sea.
Nestled at the heart of the golf course is the elegant and contemporary Hotel Río Real, a boutique hotel where guests can indulge in luxurious accommodations and savour the splendid vistas from the Clubhouse’s dining services.
Rio Real’s surroundings provide a perfect blend of privacy and convenience, as it is just minutes from Marbella’s bustling urban centre. The residential streets that wind their way through the golf course are serene and adorned with meticulously manicured greenery, creating a harmonious blend with the natural environment. Most residences in Rio Real consist of luxurious apartment complexes and exquisite townhouses, pools and expansive communal areas.
At Rio Real beach lies the renowned Chiringuito Trocadero Arena, a restaurant celebrated for its distinctive style, which has garnered widespread acclaim through various media outlets such as magazines and television programs. The beach of Rio Real offers an array of amenities, and from there, visitors can access the coastal path, while the Marbella Beach Windsurf School lies just a short distance away.
Prominent developers and prestigious projects, such as the Four Seasons Marbella Resort, have recognized the allure of Rio Real, making it a focal point for their ambitious endeavours.
