About this property

Overview

These are substantial five and six bedroom villas with built areas ranging from 811 to 937 square metres, set on plots between 818 and 1,614 square metres. The layouts are contemporary and open-plan, designed to let light and views move through the house. Each villa has a private swimming pool, terraces that add between 183 and 249 square metres of outdoor living space, and parking in a garage. The size makes these family homes, with room for multiple generations or guests, and the master suites and family bedrooms occupy separate wings so there is actual privacy.

The development sits on elevated ground above the AP-7 in Benahavís, looking down towards the Mediterranean and across to the mountains. You get both sea and mountain views from most rooms. The location is gated with 24-hour security, so children can move around the grounds without you worrying. The surrounding hillside is quiet and green, but you are not isolated. San Pedro Alcántara is nine minutes away for shops, restaurants and schools. La Zagaleta Country Club is 13 minutes if you play golf. Málaga Airport is just over an hour by car.

This suits buyers who want scale and privacy in a secure setting, and who prefer being above the coast rather than on it. The plot sizes vary widely, so check what the smaller ones actually give you in terms of garden and distance from neighbours. The location requires a car for everything. Gunni & Trentino have specified the interiors, which means high-end kitchens, bathrooms and finishes as standard.

Location

Benahavís

Location shown is the development site. This development is in BenahavísCosta del Sol.

The Sky Marbella Villas sits above the AP-7, towards the mountains in Benahavís. You're positioned in the foothills with views down towards the coast, yet everything remains within reach. Málaga Airport is 62 minutes away by car. La Zagaleta Country Club is just 13 minutes' drive, making this ideal for golfers. San Pedro Alcántara town centre takes 9 minutes to reach for restaurants and daily life. Ambulatorio de Nueva Andalucia is 13 minutes away, and you can choose between Aloha College for international education or Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria José Banús for Spanish schooling. This location suits families who want mountain views and easy access to both golf and coastal amenities without living directly on the coast.

The Sky Marbella Villas: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 5.6 kilometres away and takes about 12 minutes by car. There is no walking route, so you need a vehicle. The development sits on elevated ground in Benahavís, inland of the motorway, so the trade-off for sea and mountain views is distance from the shore.

Aloha College is 14 minutes away by car, and the nearest hospital is 13 minutes. San Pedro Alcántara, nine minutes from the development, has supermarkets, restaurants and other daily amenities. Everything requires a car because the hillside location in Benahavís puts you outside walking range of shops and schools.

Built areas run from 811 to 937 square metres across five and six bedroom layouts, so the largest is about 15 per cent bigger. Terraces range from 183 to 249 square metres, and plots vary from 818 to 1,614 square metres. The smallest plot is roughly half the size of the largest, which affects garden space and separation from neighbouring villas.

Málaga Airport is 48 kilometres away and takes about 62 minutes by car. That makes these villas practical for lock-up-and-leave use, though the drive is longer than from coastal developments because this part of the Costa del Sol sits inland and higher up.

Each villa has its own private swimming pool and garden within its plot, so there are no communal areas to share and no shared maintenance costs for outdoor space. You look after your own grounds or arrange for a gardener, and you control who uses the pool.

Buying off-plan in Benahavís 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.
