About this property

Overview

Azurean Marbella - Destinations by Hyatt is a new development of 1 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced from €707,972 to €4,042,203. This is the first Hyatt-branded residential project in Marbella, operating under a condo-hotel model that allows owners to place their properties into a managed rental programme when not in personal use. All 133 freehold residences hold full tourist rental licences (Vivienda Turística), which is increasingly difficult to obtain in coastal Andalucía and adds measurable resale value. The project is currently in pre-launch, with early-buyer allocations available before general release.

Built sizes range from 72 m² for a 1-bedroom unit to 446 m² for a 3-bedroom penthouse. Bathroom counts vary from one to four depending on the configuration. All residences are sold fully furnished and serviced, designed to function as turnkey holiday homes or rental assets from day one. The architectural approach favours open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling glass, and private terraces oriented toward sea views over the hills. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and full resort services managed under Hyatt's operational standards. The development sits within landscaped grounds surrounded by golf courses, with interiors finished in natural materials and neutral tones that reflect contemporary Mediterranean design. No parking details have been confirmed in the available data, so buyers should clarify garage or surface space allocations directly with the developer.

Benahavis occupies elevated terrain 7 kilometres inland from the coast, roughly 15 minutes by car from Puerto Banús. The municipality is known for its golf course density and attracts a mix of Northern European second-home buyers and investors seeking rental income from the Marbella market without beachfront pricing. The village itself is small, with a handful of restaurants and limited retail, so most residents drive to San Pedro de Alcántara or Marbella for supermarkets and services. Road access involves winding mountain routes, which some buyers find inconvenient but others value for privacy and the absence of through traffic. The area has seen steady demand for branded residences and managed schemes, particularly from buyers who spend only part of the year in Spain and prefer not to handle property maintenance themselves.

The project is in the pre-launch phase, with construction timelines and completion dates to be confirmed by the developer. Spanish new build purchases typically require a reservation deposit to secure a unit, followed by stage payments linked to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All payment schedules and amounts should be verified in writing with the sales team. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended, particularly for buyers unfamiliar with Spanish property law or condo-hotel ownership structures. The Vivienda Turística licence attached to each unit is a specific legal designation that permits short-term holiday rentals, a status that has become restricted in many coastal zones and may influence both rental yield and future resale appeal.

Buying off-plan in Benahavis means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
