Why Local Knowledge Matters

There’s something special about calling a place home, not just living there, but truly knowing it, watching it evolve, and understanding its heartbeat. That’s exactly what Kiwii Real Estate brings to the table when it comes to Puerto de la Duquesa and the surrounding areas.

For 22 years, I’ve not only lived on the Costa del Sol, but I’ve built my life, my family, and my business here. I’ve seen Duquesa transform, from a hidden gem known only to a few, to a thriving coastal hotspot that blends modern living with traditional Andalusian charm.

Why Local Knowledge Matters

Real estate isn’t just about listings and transactions, it’s about finding the right fit for each client. And that takes more than just market stats; it takes first-hand experience.
At Kiwii Real Estate, we don’t just know the western Costa del Sol on paper, we know it in real life.

We’ve dined in the local restaurants, and enjoyed the bustling marina lifestyle firsthand.
We’ve watched property trends shift, from the early boom years to the market corrections, and now into an era of strong investment potential.
We’ve seen communities grow, new developments emerge, and hidden corners of Duquesa become some of the most sought-after addresses on the Costa del Sol.
Our children have attended the local schools and sports clubs
We have done what we preach and invested in the area we believe in. 
We have built decades-long connections that create incredible networks for you.

How Duquesa Has Evolved Over the Years

When I first arrived, Puerto de la Duquesa was a well-kept secret, a peaceful alternative to the larger, more well-known hubs like Marbella. Over the years, the market has changed:

Luxury Developments: New-build apartments and villas have added a fresh, contemporary feel to the area, attracting a mix of international buyers.
Increased Investment: More people are recognising Duquesa as a smart investment, with holiday rentals thriving thanks to its unbeatable location and marina lifestyle.
Improved Infrastructure: With better roads, amenities, and connectivity to airports like Gibraltar and Málaga, Duquesa has become more accessible than ever.
A Diverse Community: We’ve seen a growing mix of expats, digital nomads, retirees, and investors who love the balance between vibrant marina life and tranquil Mediterranean surroundings.
