Marbella, a city known for its vibrant culture and scenic beauty
The town has recently been the subject of population statistics that highlight its growing community. According to "marbella24horas", just a week after the National Institute of Statistics (INE) set the official population of Marbella at 156,295 as of January 1, 2023, the Marbella City Council has released its own figure, stating that the population has reached 165,871 as of January 1, 2024. This figure, though unofficial, is expected to be adjusted by the INE in a year's time.
Official vs Unofficial Figures
The National Institute of Statistics (INE) is the official body responsible for establishing population figures across Spain. According to their last revision of the municipal register, Marbella had 156,295 residents as of January 1, 2023.

Municipal spokesperson, Javier García, explained that the current population of 165,871 will be subject to review by the INE in a year. If confirmed, this represents an increase of 9,576 from the current official figure, which itself had seen a rise of 5,570 people in the last year.
