Areas we cover
Marbella · Málaga
Marbella is a long municipality with very different realities: the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús concentrate villas and international residences, Nueva Andalucía and Las Chapas add urbanisations with gardens and pools, and San Pedro Alcántara keeps the pulse of a town with a life of its own. Many homes are used seasonally and receive guests, and the bar for presentation and discretion is the highest in the province.

Indicative salary
€1,221–1,800. Gross per month in 14 payments for full-time; part-time is paid pro rata. Indicative amount, non-binding.
It is the best-paid market in Andalusia and also the most demanding: checkable references, languages and experience in large houses are expected. Live-in full-time roles coexist with hourly work in the urbanisations, and demand concentrates from spring through September.
What the service includes
Garden and outdoor upkeep: pruning, irrigation, lawn, pool and seasonal plant care.
Before hiring, decide what is seasonal and what is weekly: pruning, irrigation, lawn and pool are not distributed the same way in winter and summer. In Marbella gardens in Golden Mile and Puerto Banús usually need a fixed day plus an extra visit in spring, and that is what gets written down.
What we ask of the professional
Experience with Mediterranean gardens, basic machinery skills and availability by the day.
In Marbella we ask for experience with Mediterranean gardens and basic machinery; the work is spread between Golden Mile and Puerto Banús, almost always in full days, and a driving licence makes the journeys much easier.
Legal framework
May be employed or paid per day; machinery work requires risk-prevention compliance.
In Marbella we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
