Costa del Sol, renowned for its stunning beaches and luxurious lifestyle, attracts not only tourists but also celebrities seeking their second homes in this picturesque region. Among them is famous tennis player Rafael Nadal, who has invested in two prestigious real estate projects on Costa del Sol.
Nadal, in partnership with Spanish businessman Abel Matutes, has established Palya Invest. Together with local developer Sierra Blanca Estates, they are working on high-end residential projects. The first project includes 47 beachfront homes in the Los Llanos area of Estepona, acquired by Mabel Capital, a group owned by Matutes.

The second project, planned for Marbella’s Nagüeles area, involves around 40 luxury homes. In total, Nadal and Matutes will invest approximately €200 million in these developments, which will feature top-tier residences with access to five-star hotel services.

Sierra Blanca Estates, Nadal and Matutes’ partner, is renowned for developing luxury properties on Marbella’s Golden Mile, including the Epic project and exclusive villas designed by Karl Lagerfeld. They are also preparing a Dolce & Gabbana-designed complex and luxury apartments in Torre del Río, Malaga.
Costa del Sol is a popular destination for celebrities looking for luxurious residences. Besides Nadal, other notable figures investing in the region include footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and film producer Antonio Banderas, who appreciate the unique charm and prestige of the area.
