For families considering a move to the Costa del Sol, choosing the right home is only part of the decision. Schools, security, outdoor space, sports and the daily journey to shops and the coast all matter — and this is where Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club has become particularly attractive for full-time family living.
Los Arqueros enjoys an elevated setting in Benahavís, surrounded by golf courses and open countryside, yet San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, Marbella and the beaches are all within practical driving distance. It offers families something increasingly difficult to find: a quieter residential environment without giving up easy access to everyday life on the coast.
Families in Los Arqueros commonly consider schools such as Laude San Pedro International College, Aloha College and Atalaya International School. Depending on the school, traffic and your location within Los Arqueros, school runs are typically manageable in around 15–25 minutes. Our advice to relocating families is simple: choose the school first, then test the journey during the morning school run before choosing your property.
You certainly don't need to be a golfer to enjoy living here. Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club offers tennis, padel, squash, a gym and driving range, alongside its 18-hole Seve Ballesteros-designed golf course, clubhouse, restaurant and social facilities. For children and parents alike, the Costa del Sol climate makes swimming, walking and outdoor activities a realistic part of everyday life for much of the year.
This is where local knowledge becomes particularly important. Families with younger children may prioritise communities with children's pools, such as Las Jacarandas or Los Olivos, while those living here throughout the year may prefer a community with a heated pool, including Los Pinos, El Lago or Los Balcones. Families can also choose between ground-floor apartments with private gardens, spacious apartments, penthouses, townhouses and detached villas — there is no single best option; it depends on how your family intends to live.
Los Arqueros is an established residential area with 24-hour security patrols, gated communities and a strong international mix of residents. Importantly, it does not feel like a purely seasonal holiday resort. For many families, the combination of security, space, international schools, outdoor living and proximity to Marbella is exactly what makes Los Arqueros work as a permanent home.
One practical point: a car is essential for most families living in Los Arqueros, particularly for school runs, shopping and activities.
