About this property

Overview

The Sky Marbella Villas is a new development of 5 to 6-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced from €5,995,000 to €8,995,000. The project sits on the southern edge of El Madronal, at the highest point of the La Quinta urbanisation, a position that delivers uninterrupted panoramic views across the Marbella bay and the Mediterranean. This is a 16-villa gated community with 24-hour security, already under construction, targeting buyers who prioritise elevation, privacy, and a significant plot-to-built ratio in one of the coast's most established hillside addresses.

Built sizes range from 811 to 937 m² across plots of approximately 1,048 m², with five or six bedrooms and an equivalent number of bathrooms. Each villa includes a private swimming pool. The interiors feature finishes by Gunni & Trentino, a Barcelona-based supplier known for high-specification kitchens and bathrooms in the Spanish luxury market. The architecture follows an open-plan contemporary layout, with floor-to-ceiling glazing designed to frame the sea views. Communal amenities within the gated perimeter have been confirmed, though specific facilities beyond the security infrastructure and landscaped grounds have not been detailed in the available project data.

Puerto Banús marina is ten minutes by car, a proximity that explains much of Benahavis's appeal to international buyers seeking a balance between seclusion and access to the coast's retail and dining infrastructure. The municipality itself has no coastline, but its hillside developments attract Northern European second-home buyers and a smaller proportion of year-round residents, many of whom value the lower density and larger plots compared to beachfront Marbella or Estepona. La Quinta and El Madronal are established postcodes with a high proportion of detached villas, so resale liquidity in this segment is historically stronger than in newer inland areas. The elevation brings cooler evenings and, in winter, occasional low cloud, which some buyers overlook in favour of the views and the distance from the coastal road traffic.

The development is under construction, with completion dates to be confirmed directly with the developer. 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. All amounts and schedules must be verified in the individual purchase contract. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended, particularly for buyers unfamiliar with Spanish off-plan procedures and bank guarantee requirements. The project includes both villas and a separate block of 50 apartments with individual pools, so buyers should clarify which phase and unit type they are reserving, as the villa and apartment communities share the same branding but differ significantly in price, size, and layout.

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.

The Sky Marbella Villas: Frequently Asked Questions

The Sky Marbella Villas range from €5,995,000 to €8,995,000, depending on the villa configuration and specifications. Prices reflect the size, orientation, and amenities included in each property within the development.

The Sky Marbella Villas is expected to reach completion in June 2026. This timeline allows for quality construction and finishing of all properties within the development by the developer RA.

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.
