Up the hill above the Golden Mile

Sierra Blanca is the gated hillside estate that rises directly above the Golden Mile, on the slopes of La Concha mountain. From the airport the route is the Marbella run to the Marbella junction, then up from the Bulevar at the Sierra Blanca roundabout to the main gate. Forty-eight minutes from the arrivals hall, at €79, the same fare as the Golden Mile below it.

Once through the gate the roads wind up in loops, and villas are identified by plot numbers and street names that mean little outside the estate. The driver has done this climb hundreds of times; what he needs from you is the exact villa name or number as it appears on your rental agreement, and the phone number of whoever holds the key.

Security gates, registered guests and villa access

Sierra Blanca, Cascada de Camoján and the neighbouring estates run manned gates around the clock. Guests are expected to be registered by the owner or agent; the guard checks the name and lets the car in. If the registration has not been done, the driver waits with you while the lodge phones the owner rather than dropping you outside a barrier with your bags.

For villas with their own gate the code can go in the notes of your booking. Only the driver sees it, and he uses it to bring the car up the drive, which matters on plots where the front door is thirty metres above the road.

Who stays in Sierra Blanca and how they travel

Bookings to Sierra Blanca are mostly villa weeks: families of six or eight, or two couples sharing a house with staff. The minivan takes eight passengers and eight cases; for larger parties we send two vehicles that leave the airport together. The estate has no shops, so a stop at the supermarkets on the Golden Mile side can be arranged if you mention it when booking.

The reward for the climb is the view, over the whole of Marbella to Gibraltar on a clear day, and the silence. The beach and the Bulevar restaurants are five minutes down the hill, which is why a fixed-price local car for an evening out is a common second booking.

Local tips for your arrival

• Ask the owner or agent to register your names with the Sierra Blanca lodge before you fly; it saves ten minutes at the gate.
• Villa gate codes go in the booking notes, which only the driver receives.
• Groups over eight: book two vehicles and we send them together from the airport.
• No shops on the hill: mention a supermarket stop when booking and the driver plans it on the Golden Mile.

Back to the airport from Sierra Blanca

For the flight home the driver comes up through the gate to the villa at the agreed time; the descent and the AP-7 back to the airport take 48 minutes. Allow two hours at the terminal, or two and a half in high season and for non-Schengen flights, so a 16:00 departure means leaving the villa at about 13:10. Tell the lodge the pickup time the evening before so the barrier is expected to open for our car.
