Town + beach · Marbella (San Pedro)
San Pedro de Alcántara
A real Andalusian town by the sea, growing fast and still grounded.
Overview
A town within the Marbella municipality, about 14 km west of central Marbella. It keeps an Andalusian, distinctly Spanish atmosphere with less tourist gloss — a "old" northern centre and a seafront promenade to the south, with a 1,400 m beach. Residential sub-areas include Guadalmina, Nueva Alcántara and Linda Vista.
Lifestyle
Families and year-round residents. Authentic town life, weekly market, beach boulevard — strong value and fast growth.
Views
Sea from the boulevard, mountains inland.

Good to know
San Pedro keeps a distinctly Spanish, grounded feel. The redeveloped boulevard (built over a buried bypass) connects the old centre to the seafront and is a big part of the town’s appeal.
