Who would have thought that during your holiday on the Costa del Sol you could even see snow on the beach! This January has brought some of the most unique climate variations that Marbella and Malaga hadn’t seen for years, but with well-equipped top quality technological homes Marbella’s properties are an ideal place to choose to stay for a magical winter’s holiday!
The most famous snow recorded in Malaga city was 3rd February in 1954 where the residents woke up to 1 meter deep snow. Before that the only other record of a snow fall in the city was in 1882.
Typically Marbella’s winter climate is mild and a haven for holiday makers from Northern Europe and Scandinavian countries, with and average temperature of 11ºc and highs of 15ºc, making it ideal for golf lovers and even for some start of the year dips in the sea.
This January we are experiencing some extreme weather conditions with snow just above Marbella city, just to mention a few areas; in the town of Ojen, our prominent mountain “La Concha” at the end of the Sierra Blanca mountain range and the nature reserve and park of “Refugio de Juanar”.
Marbella’s brand new homes are well prepared for these cold spurts!
On average our winter months are mild and offer clear blue skies with warm sun throughout the day and slightly colder evenings.
Through the years the properties in Marbella have improved tremendously in quality standards, equipping homes with the newest of technologies, becoming well prepared for the variation in temperatures one winter’s day can bring.
Marbella’s homes have always been known for their luxury and high qualities with dream features, but now they are more energy efficient and offer a new form of comfort for their owners and guests to enjoy.
To give you an example, Marbella Unique Properties finest homes include under floor heating throughout, central heating by radiators, working log fireplaces, new and contemporary designer gas fireplaces opening 2 ways which are truly spectacular. Solar panels, glass curtains to be able to enjoy terraced areas year round and geo-thermal energy systems. Many of these features can also be controlled remotely by Intelligent/Smart Home Systems which once installed, enable the owner to control his home from anywhere in the world. It’s truly remarkable to see how new technologies have enabled our homes to become smart!
A good example of a high tech home is this spectacular villa for sale in Cascada Camojan, at the foot hills of the La Concha mountain and within a few minutes’ drive to Marbella town, this unique home boasts wonderful quality finishes and includes 4 working fireplaces including 2 on the terrace with under floor heating inside and out for extra comfort, geo thermal energy system and glass doors on the terrace to keep the heat in.
