Why is September the best time to move to the Costa del Sol?

The Costa del Sol is one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe to live, work and invest. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, endless beaches, Mediterranean cuisine and excellent international connections, it is no surprise that thousands of people choose this area of Málaga as their new home. And if you are considering taking the leap, September is the perfect month to move to the Costa del Sol. Below we explain the key reasons why this moment is a unique opportunity.

1. The perfect climate to start a new life

In September, temperatures drop compared to summer but remain warm and pleasant. This allows you to:

• Visit properties and explore all neighbourhoods without crowds.

• Organise your move in a more comfortable and simple way.

• Enjoy the beaches and outdoor activities with fewer tourists.

2. More housing options and better opportunities

After the summer, the Costa del Sol property market becomes more active:

• Properties for sale that were not available during high season start coming onto the market.

• Long-term rentals become available after the tourist season.

• Possibility of finding better prices and negotiating conditions.

In September you will find more housing options in Fuengirola, Marbella, Mijas, Benalmádena or Estepona, with a variety ranging from sea-view apartments to luxury villas or family townhouses.

3. Starting the school year and routine in a new home

September marks the start of the school year and the return to work routines. Moving at this time allows you to enrol your children in international schools on the Costa del Sol or local centres, and also begin the academic year in a stable environment. This way you can adapt your family and work routine easily – and where better than on the Costa del Sol.

4. Investing in quality of life and the future

Moving to the Costa del Sol is much more than changing house: it is choosing a healthy Mediterranean lifestyle. Here you can enjoy:

• Outdoor activities all year round: golf, hiking, cycling, water sports.

• An extensive network of medical services and top private hospitals.

• A gastronomic offer that combines tradition and modernity, with internationally acclaimed restaurants.

Furthermore, if you decide to buy a property on the Costa del Sol, you will be investing in a solid real estate market with high profitability, especially in areas such as Fuengirola, Marbella or Estepona.

5. An international and multicultural community

The Costa del Sol is one of the favourite destinations for European expatriates and international families. Living here means integrating into a multicultural environment with residents from the United Kingdom, the Nordic countries, Germany, France and beyond. This ensures tailored services such as international and bilingual schools, expat associations and activities, as well as residence paperwork and advisory services specialised for foreigners.

If you have been considering a change of lifestyle, September is the best time to move to the Costa del Sol. You will find the perfect climate, a wide range of housing options, investment opportunities and an open multicultural community.
