HIGH above Marbella’s Golden Mile, a winding mountain road leads to one of the most exclusive residential enclaves on the Costa del Sol.
At the top sits a sprawling private estate of around 2,000 square metres, with sweeping views over the Mediterranean and complete seclusion behind dense greenery and security screening.
The property belongs to Manchester City striker and Norway international Erling Haaland, one of world football’s most recognisable stars.
Valued at roughly €6 million, the villa sits within a gated development between the Golden Mile and the lower slopes of the surrounding hills, where privacy is one of the main selling points.
For Haaland, Marbella seems to have become an escape from the pressures of elite football – with reports suggesting he has been regularly using the home since he bought it in April 2022.
The villa features striking floor-to-ceiling windows that offer uninterrupted views of the shimmering sea below.
Outside, landscaped gardens, wide terraces and a private pool make full use of Marbella’s climate, turning the property into a year-round retreat.
While details of the interior remain largely private, reports suggest the home includes a fully equipped gym and dedicated recovery spaces tailored to an elite athlete.
Haaland’s presence in Marbella has also fuelled speculation over a possible long-term link with Spain, particularly amid previous transfer talk involving Real Madrid.
For now, however, the Manchester City striker remains based in England.
On the international stage, Haaland is representing Norway at the World Cup, with their opening knockout tie against Ivory Coast set for Thursday.
The striker has scored four goals so far, though Lionel Messi’s six place the Argentinian ahead in the Golden Boot race.
For now, if Haaland misses out on top scorer honours, there is at least some consolation waiting above the Costa del Sol.
