INSIDE NOVAK DJOKOVIC’S LUXURIOUS 10M NEW VILLA IN MARBELLA!

Novak Djokovic on court — the world No. 1 based himself at a €10 million villa in Marbella
Novak Djokovic made Marbella his base in 2020, training and recovering at a €10 million villa on the Costa del Sol.

Let’s go inside Novak Djokovic’s luxurious €10 million villa in Marbella — the Costa del Sol retreat the world No. 1 chose as his own private training base.

The villa sits in one of the most beautiful regions of the Costa del Sol, between the sea, the mountains and the greenery, and reportedly cost ten million euros. During the spring of 2020, Djokovic spent the entire lockdown period right in that villa — training, recovering and preparing for the season ahead without ever leaving the grounds.

Inside the Villa

The property is fitted out less like a holiday home and more like a private high-performance resort. Every facility an elite athlete needs sits inside the perimeter wall.

Indoor swimming pool
A climate-controlled indoor pool allows year-round swimming and recovery sessions whatever the weather outside.
Fully equipped gym
A gym with all the equipment required for professional-level strength and conditioning work.
Games room
A dedicated games room for downtime between training blocks and for entertaining guests.
Spa
A private spa for recovery, treatment and relaxation — now a near-standard feature in Marbella’s top tier.
Panoramic cinema room
A panoramic-screen cinema room, one of the most requested features in new luxury builds on the coast.
Panoramic tennis court
A full tennis court with panoramic views — the single feature that made this property a natural fit for a world No. 1.

Beyond the leisure facilities there are numerous living rooms, several bedrooms and a generously proportioned kitchen. In short: a luxurious paradise, and a self-contained one.

Why Marbella Attracts Elite Athletes

Djokovic is far from alone. Marbella and the surrounding municipalities of Benahavís, Estepona and Nueva Andalucía have become a permanent base for professional athletes, and the reasons are practical rather than purely aspirational.

Year-round training weather
With more than 320 days of sunshine a year and mild winters, outdoor training never has to stop between November and March.
Privacy and security
Gated urbanisations with 24-hour security and large private plots make it possible to live and train without interruption.
Genuine connectivity
Málaga–Costa del Sol airport is roughly 45 minutes away and connects directly to most major European cities — essential for a tour schedule.
World-class sports infrastructure
Elite tennis academies, golf courses, marinas and high-performance centres are concentrated within a short drive of the Golden Mile.

What a €10 Million Villa Says About the Marbella Market

A single celebrity purchase makes headlines, but it also acts as a useful signal. Properties at this level are bought by buyers who are highly mobile and highly informed — and where they choose to settle tends to lead the wider market by several years. The data since 2020 has borne that out.

Asking prices at record highs
In October 2025, Málaga province reached €3,842/m², a 13.8 % annual increase — with Marbella and Benahavís well above the provincial average.
