LOS MONTEROS
East of Marbella town on the beach side of the A-7, roughly four kilometres out, running back from the sand towards Río Real.
Two distinct halves that get sold under one name. The beachside part is low-rise and mature, built around a hotel and a beach club, with direct sand access. Altos de los Monteros climbs the hill behind the motorway and trades the walk to the beach for the view back down over it. Villas dominate both, with a smaller run of frontline apartment blocks along the shore.
Counted here with its sub-areas: Altos de los Monteros, Los Monteros Playa, La Reserva de los Monteros
The 2 that mark the edges
Counted from 20 distinct homes asking €3,000,000 or more, deduplicated across the agencies listing them, 3 of which are on the market with more than one firm at once. 14 of the 20 come from a source that dates its listings individually; the rest publish one timestamp for the whole catalogue, so their prices are current but their edit dates are not evidence. Every figure is the agency's own asking price, linked above.
Numbers from the linked sources, dated as marked. Asking is not getting, for what sellers actually achieve, the catalogue keeps receipts.
