Elviria is further home to the internationally renowned golf courses, Santa Maria and La Cala. Incorporating the beautiful port of Cabopino as well as some stunning mountain scenery inland, the area of Elviria is well suited for families and has become increasingly popular for second homes as well as a full time residence for many foreign visitors. The village itself has a genuine heart, complete with town hall, post office, schools, bars, restaurants and shopping centres. it is sited just a few hundred metres from the Golden beach, along which you can walk to Los Monteros and on to Marbella to the west or the charming Puerto Cabopino to the east. From the village centre the land rises gently at first past the Santa Maria golf course, then more steeply to the top of Elviria Mountain, home to La Mariena, El Soto and Marbella Hill View.

Elviria beach stretches for miles...........and miles. It is known for having the finest, sandy beaches along the coast of Marbella with good water sport facilities, surrounded by luxury and new developments. The sunbathing on beaches generally becomes popular from late May until late September. This is when the Chiringuitos (beach bars) start to open. The sun beds are set out and the paddle rafts and jet skis are prepared for the season. There is a noticeable increase in beach popularity during the school holidays and especially in July and August when many residents from Madrid and other cities in Spain arrive on the coast for their annual holiday.

During the winter season the beaches are enjoyed mainly by walkers, joggers and fishermen. Sunbathing is sometimes possible in the winter months as well. On one of the frequent blue sky and non-windy days it will be warm enough to sunbathe and you will have the beach to yourself.

With in excess of 330 days a year of sunshine, sizzling Summers with long warm evenings, beautiful Springs and Autumns, when you continue to spend most of your time outside and mild Winters which are the envy of Northern Europe, you will be in the most healthy of climates. There’s no better place to be in the sun than on the beach and Elviria's coast has miles and miles of, golden sand. Spend the day, have a fabulous seafood lunch in a beachfront Chiringuito, take in the water sports or simply find a quiet spot for some serious sunbathing!
