Holiday villas, year-round residences, and a large British and Northern European expat community. Household staffing in Marbella keeps us busy all year, not just in summer.
Marbella's Golden Mile houses completely different families than Nueva Andalucia's gated communities. The British and Scandinavian expat population expect northern European service standards while embracing Spanish lifestyle.
Many properties remain empty from November through March, then spring to life for summer season. Puerto Banús apartments require urban household management skills, while Sierra Blanca villas need estate-level experience.
The challenge is managing households that operate in Spanish, English, and sometimes Norwegian. Staff often juggle multiple properties for families who own several homes across the Costa del Sol.
We've placed seasonal and permanent staff across the Golden Mile and La Zagaleta. Summer demand spikes sharply in June — if you need staff for July, start the search in April.
