About this property

Overview

Solenne is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,050,000 to €2,105,000. This is a deliberately small-scale project comprising just 21 residences within the Puerto Almendro urbanisation, which positions it at the upper end of the local market where privacy and low-density living command a premium. The development targets buyers who prioritise quieter hillside settings over beachfront proximity, and who value access to amenities typically found in larger complexes without the accompanying density.

Built sizes range from 94 to 186 m², with two or three bathrooms depending on unit configuration. All ground floor apartments include private terraces, and the supplier description confirms floor-to-ceiling windows designed to maximise natural light and views across the Mediterranean coastline and surrounding hills. Communal facilities include a saltwater swimming pool set within landscaped Mediterranean gardens, a private gym, sauna, social club, golf simulator, and a dedicated co-working space. Interiors feature open-plan kitchens with integrated appliances and aerothermal climate control systems, which use ambient air temperature to provide heating and cooling with lower energy consumption than conventional air conditioning.

Puerto Banús marina is approximately 15 minutes by car, though the route involves navigating the winding A-7176 through the hills before joining the coastal AP-7. Benahavis attracts a mix of European second-home buyers and year-round residents who accept the trade-off between altitude, views, and daily convenience. The municipality markets itself as the "Dining Room of the Costa del Sol" due to a concentration of restaurants in the village centre, which sits roughly 7 kilometres inland from San Pedro de Alcántara. Puerto Almendro itself is a low-rise residential area with limited commercial infrastructure, so routine shopping and services require a car journey to the coast or to Benahavis village. The hillside location means cooler evening temperatures than the coastal strip, which some buyers consider an advantage during summer months.

This is an off-plan project, so completion dates and construction timelines should be confirmed directly with 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 when keys are handed over. All payment schedules and amounts are subject to negotiation and must be set out in the private purchase contract. Independent legal representation is essential, particularly for off-plan transactions where buyer protections and bank guarantees need to be verified before any funds are transferred. Ground floor units in hillside developments often include larger terrace allocations than upper floors, which affects both usable outdoor space and long-term resale appeal.

Solenne: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Solenne covers the apartment itself, a private garage space, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. All ground floor apartments at Solenne also include a private garden, which is a significant feature for ground floor living in this area.

Solenne is situated in Benahavis on the Costa del Sol, a sought-after hilltop village known for its proximity to both Marbella and Puerto Banús. The location offers easy access to golf courses, restaurants, and the coast while maintaining the quieter character of the Benahavis area.

Solenne offers ground floor apartments ranging from 2 to 3 bedrooms, with built sizes between 94 and 186 square metres. This range allows you to choose based on your space requirements and budget.

Yes, Solenne features sea views from the apartments, which is a key selling point given the elevated position of Benahavis. The combination of sea views and private gardens makes these ground floor units at Solenne particularly attractive.

Solenne is expected to be completed in June 2028, giving you a clear timeline for your investment. This allows time for careful construction and finishing of all the amenities and individual units.

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.
