A familiar,
discreet presence.

Executive protection at Cavalma is a licensed close-protection agent, or a small team, accompanying a principal or family through their stay in Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Cavalma is a private office rather than a security company, so protection is planned and delivered together with the client's transfers, chauffeur, aviation, villa and concierge arrangements.

International families, company executives, entrepreneurs and investors visiting Marbella, Puerto Banus, the Golden Mile, Benahavis or Sotogrande. Most are already using the Cavalma private office for luxury transfers, a private chauffeur or a villa, and add protection for part or all of the stay.

Protection is appropriate when a stay carries some exposure: a publicly known principal, a fixed business schedule, a family moving through busy venues, or an itinerary with large events and late evenings. Where exposure is low, our office will say so rather than propose cover that is not needed.

Our office takes the itinerary in advance, plans routes and alternatives, liaises with the villa or hotel, checks venues, and agrees one contact point for the family. During the stay the agent travels with the Cavalma chauffeur, ahead of the party, or in a discreet follow vehicle, according to the day.

Executive protection is delivered in plain clothes, with no visible equipment, no logos and no radio traffic in your presence. The intention is that no one - staff, guests, or the family itself - is reminded of the security detail more than they need to be.

Visible security attracts attention and changes how a family is treated in restaurants, hotels and shops. Low-profile protection keeps the ordinary shape of a holiday or business trip intact, which is usually the outcome the client actually wants.

Protection and secure mobility are arranged together by the same office. The chauffeur, the route and the agent are briefed as one movement rather than booked separately, so airport arrivals, evening journeys and venue drop-offs need no coordination from the client.

Yes. Arrivals at Malaga Airport (AGP), Gibraltar Airport (GIB) and private aviation terminals are handled as a single movement, with the agent, the car and the ground handling coordinated by our office so there is no gap between the aircraft and the vehicle.

Yes. Family assignments - including principals, spouses, children and household staff - are one of the more common briefs. Agents are matched to the family's rhythm and to the ages of the children.

Yes. Residential coordination covers access to the property, arrival and departure times, deliveries and contractors, working alongside the villa's own staff. Where Cavalma also arranged the villa rental or supports the ownership of a home on the coast, that coordination is already in place.

Yes. A second, unmarked vehicle following the principal car is available and is often recommended for airport arrivals, higher-profile itineraries or when luggage and staff need to move in parallel.

This depends on the itinerary, the profile of the principal and the venues involved. A single low-profile agent covers many stays; families or higher-exposure visits typically require two to four. The office proposes a specific structure after understanding the trip.

Yes. Itineraries move, so cover scales with them. A single agent may cover ordinary days, with a larger structure added for one evening, a public event or a business meeting and removed again the following morning.

Itineraries, addresses and personal details are shared only with the people working on the assignment. Cavalma does not discuss clients, movements or locations with third parties, and no client is used as a reference or example.

Yes, and it usually is. When our office books the restaurant, the yacht day or the golf morning, the agent already knows the venue, timing and route, which removes the improvisation that normally makes protection visible.

Our base is Marbella and the Costa del Sol, including Puerto Banus, Benahavis, Estepona, Sotogrande and Gibraltar. Travel to Madrid, Ibiza, Valencia or Seville during a stay is arranged case by case, with the same office coordinating cars and flights.

A security company supplies agents. Cavalma is a private office in Marbella that plans the whole stay, so protection sits inside the same coordination as luxury transfers, private chauffeur, private aviation, villas, property services and concierge. The client keeps one relationship instead of managing several suppliers.

Seventy-two hours is comfortable for most engagements. Short-notice requests are honoured where the roster allows; we will always tell you plainly if a request cannot be delivered at our standard.
