Why Ojén?
If you’re wondering where to look to find the perfect luxury home, we have the answer for you: Ojén. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Back in 2005, The Sunday Times, one of the UK’s most respected newspapers, declared Ojén among the top 50 places to live in the world. And that’s not all; famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias chose Ojén as his summer residence, regularly spending vacations at his luxury private estate Las Cuatro Lunas.
Population and international appeal
Part of the municipality of Sierra de las Nieves, Ojén is a small inland town with about 3,500 inhabitants. But don’t let the small number fool you, it has a large following among international buyers looking for luxury apartments and villas in Spain. Indeed, 23.1% of the population comes from abroad.
Why is Ojén so popular?
Besides some of the most stunning luxury real estate options, there is the great location and the enchanting traditional Andalusian atmosphere. Located just behind the hills of Marbella, Ojén may only be 10 km from Marbella by car, but in terms of personality it is a very different world.
Traditional Andalusian with a touch of glamour
Imagine Marbella when it was more of a fishing village than a place for celebrities; this is the traditional Andalusian lifestyle that Ojén offers. But with the added allure of the nearby glitz and glamour of the beaches, marinas and vibrant social life of Marbella and Puerto Banús.
Ocean View Luxury Homes
As if this were not enough to entice you, Ojén is about to become even more desirable with the launch of Ocean View. This is a brand new project of super deluxe apartments and penthouses, adjacent to 230 hectares of protected natural reserves and a stone’s throw from the center of Ojén. New homes are scarce in Ojén, so this is great news for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Spanish culture, but with all the comforts and high specifications of a modern luxury villa.
Perfectly located
To use a cliché, Ojén offers the best of all worlds. Its proximity to the Costa del Sol allows residents to enjoy an authentic Andalusian experience, but with all the amenities of a world-class vacation resort at their fingertips.
Relax and unwind
Life in Ojén lets you forget the fast-paced life for a while. Here you will enjoy a much slower pace in a traditional white village. You can stroll to the bar, enjoy a sumptuous lunch or stroll along the winding little roads.
Active and relaxed
The village is a favorite with lovers of hiking, trekking, biking, horseback riding and, of course, a round of golf. There is something exciting about breathing the clean mountain air and exploring the surrounding forests, rolling valleys and rivers. It goes without saying that its elevated position guarantees a magnificent view of the mountains and the sea.
Conclusion: an irresistible combination
Ojén offers a peaceful change from the hustle and bustle of the Costa del Sol, a mix of traditional Spain and cosmopolitan coastal life. A powerful combination that is impossible to resist.
