Erling Haaland, Manchester City forward, has acquired a spectacular villa in Marbella for €6.5 million. The property, spanning 2,000 square meters, includes a gym, sauna, and pool.
The Norwegian forward Erling Haaland, 25, has invested €6.5 million in a luxury villa in Marbella, as this newspaper has learned. The property, located in a gated community with strong security measures, has become his refuge on the Costa del Sol since 2022.
A 2,000 square meter mansion with sculptural design
The residence, spread over three floors, boasts 2,000 square meters of land and building. A sculptural marble and glass staircase connects the rooms, featuring an 80 square meter open-plan living area filled with natural light.
Noble materials such as marble, porcelain stone, and glass dominate the interior, with a neutral palette contrasting with blacks and greys. The design aims for spaciousness and visual depth, according to sources close to the footballer.
Wellness area and pool for relaxation
Among the luxuries is a wellness area with private gym and sauna, as well as an impressive outdoor pool. Several green areas surround the villa, integrating the landscape into the home’s decor. For Haaland, this space is key to disconnecting from the pressures of elite football.
The forward, who is competing in the 2026 World Cup with Norway, has already been spotted in Marbella enjoying skewers at local beach bars and playing football on the beach, according to witnesses. His partner, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, accompanies him on these getaways.
A refuge on the Costa del Sol to escape the cold of Manchester
Haaland has confessed on several occasions that he needs the sun and Andalusian climate to recharge his energy. The villa allows him to maintain his training routine with the private gym while enjoying the tranquility of a monitored community.
For the residents of Marbella, the presence of the footballer has become a regular occurrence. He strolls in swimwear along the promenade without bodyguards, like any other tourist, which has generated sympathy among locals. The purchase of this property reinforces the appeal of the Costa del Sol as a luxury destination for international athletes.
The villa, acquired in 2022, is already fully furnished and ready to be inhabited. Haaland splits his time between Marbella and Manchester, where he plays for City. The next step could be his signing for Real Madrid, although for now, his connection with Spain is already a reality.
