About this property

Overview

The Sky Marbella Apartments is a new development of 2 to 5-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,495,000 to €4,950,000. The development sits at the highest point of La Quinta, on the southern edge of El Madronal, which places every unit above the typical coastal development elevation and delivers unobstructed sea and mountain views across the Marbella bay. Each apartment, regardless of size or configuration, includes its own private pool on the terrace, an unusual provision in a multi-unit scheme at this price point and one that removes the typical ground floor compromise between garden access and privacy.

Built sizes range from 129 to 402 m² across 50 apartments, with layouts spanning 2, 3, and 4 bedrooms and 2 to 5 bathrooms. The supplier data references 5-bedroom configurations, though these appear to be part of a separate villa phase rather than the apartment offering. Apartments are available as duplex ground floor units, middle floor layouts, and duplex penthouses, all with large terraces in addition to the stated built area. Finishes are supplied by Gunni & Trentino, a Spanish interiors specialist known for working with premium European brands. The development is gated with 24-hour security, includes a communal pool set within landscaped gardens, and offers two parking spaces per unit in an underground garage.

Puerto Banús marina is ten minutes by car from the development, a shorter commute than most hillside Benahavis addresses manage. La Quinta has become a preferred location for Northern European buyers seeking altitude, cooler summer temperatures, and separation from the coastal density, while remaining within practical reach of international schools, Marbella's private hospitals, and the AP-7 motorway. The trade-off is topography. Benahavis roads climb steeply and in winter, particularly after rain, the final approach to elevated developments like this one requires careful driving. Resale buyers in this segment tend to prioritise view quality and privacy over walkable village access, which makes La Quinta's positioning more of an asset than a limitation.

The Sky Marbella Apartments is currently under construction. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. Exact amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is essential, particularly for buyers unfamiliar with Spanish off-plan contracts and bank guarantee requirements. The inclusion of individual pools on every terrace adds both a lifestyle feature and a maintenance obligation that should be factored into annual running costs from the outset.

The Sky Marbella Apartments is expected to be completed in September 2027, giving you a clear timeline for your investment. This completion date allows the developers to ensure high-quality construction and finishing throughout the project. Units at The Sky Marbella Apartments will be ready for occupation in the final quarter of 2027.

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.
