Cascada de Camoján Area Guide

· 9 min. read · by Carmen de Arriaga

Cascada de Camoján is the highest residential area on Marbella’s Golden Mile. It borders Sierra Blanca but remains independent. It stands out for being ultra-secure, offering outstanding privacy, and for its panoramic views that not only overlook the sea but also stretch across kilometres of coastline to the east and west of the Costa del Sol.

Where is Cascada de Camoján?

This exquisite area lies to the north of Marbella’s Golden Mile. It’s the end of the mile up in the hills and has highly restricted, semi-gated access, with only two entry points. The number of villas is very limited. It takes the best of both the Golden Mile and Sierra Blanca, yet has its own distinct identity. In fact, this residential area is named after a beautiful natural waterfall found in the area.

Thus, while Cascada de Camoján is adjacent to Sierra Blanca, it is considered separate. It is situated on the slopes of La Concha mountain at an altitude that provides panoramic views of the Costa del Sol, Gibraltar, and even Africa.

Just 10 minutes by car from Puente Romano, Marbella Club, and the centre of Marbella. Only 15 minutes from the beach and 40 minutes from Málaga International Airport.

Why choose Cascada de Camoján as a place to live or invest?

  1. Cascada de Camoján has been designed with the most top-tier properties on the market. Although all properties on the Golden Mile are high-end, those in Cascada de Camoján are among the most exclusive in the luxury property market.
  2. These homes are always in high demand due to limited availability. There are very few units in this area. Some are still under construction. Because Cascada de Camoján is a geographically limited area that cannot expand, its properties are particularly sought-after.
  3. Safety above all. Cascada de Camoján is a gated community with 24/7 surveillance. Each access point is controlled: only those with the explicit authorisation of a resident may enter, following verification by the security team.
  4. It perfectly combines panoramic views and proximity to the city. The sea views from Cascada de Camoján are among the most panoramic in Marbella. Living here means you don’t need to buy a property deep in the mountains to enjoy the finest sea views.
  5. The natural surroundings are privileged, with abundant native Mediterranean vegetation. The waterfall itself and its natural setting, together with landscaped areas, offer a sense of lush greenery.
  6. Cascada de Camoján is very well connected. It is just 10 minutes from the beaches and the town centre, as well as the rest of the Costa del Sol thanks to fast access to the motorway.
