About this property

Overview

Villa Paradise is a new development of 6-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced at €4,000,000. This is a single-villa project on a 1,890 m² plot in Paraíso Alto, completed in May 2025, with A-rated energy efficiency supported by solar panels and an infinity pool clad in natural Indonesian stone that purifies water without chemicals. The price positions it in the upper tier of Benahavis new builds, where completed turnkey villas at this specification typically command premiums over off-plan equivalents in the same postcode.

The villa provides 1,038 m² of built space across three levels, with six en-suite bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a guest toilet. The ground floor features double-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows connecting the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas. The lower level includes a wine cellar, private spa with Finnish and Turkish saunas, a staff apartment, and a designated space for a gym installation. Outside, the infinity pool incorporates a waterfall feature and Indonesian stone cladding. The property includes a lift serving all three floors, a private garage for three vehicles, underfloor heating, air conditioning, and a Smart Home system controlling lighting, climate, and security via a digital video intercom. A glass fireplace serves as both a heating source and architectural feature.

Paraíso Alto sits inland from the coast, approximately 4 kilometres north of San Pedro de Alcántara, with Puerto Banús marina a 12-minute drive. The area attracts Northern European buyers seeking privacy and golf course access without beachfront pricing, particularly families enrolling children at nearby international schools such as Aloha College or Laude San Pedro. The immediate surroundings include El Paraíso Golf Club, Atalaya Golf & Country Club, and Los Flamingos, which explains the concentration of large-format villas on this side of the AP-7 motorway. Road access involves navigating residential streets that climb into the hills, so buyers accustomed to flat coastal routes should test the drive during a viewing trip. Benahavis municipality levies lower property taxes than Marbella, a consideration for annual running costs on a villa of this scale.

This villa was completed in May 2025 and is available for immediate occupation. Spanish new build purchases typically require a reservation deposit to secure the property, followed by a private purchase contract and balance payment on notarial completion, though in this case construction is finished so the process mirrors a resale transaction with simpler stage payment structures. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish lawyer to conduct land registry checks, verify the licencia de primera ocupación, and review energy certification documentation before exchange. The solar panel installation will generate a modest annual return through Spain's net metering scheme, which offsets grid electricity costs rather than providing feed-in tariff income.

The flexibility to choose between private or communal pool amenities, paired with private garden and garage facilities, makes Villa Paradise adaptable to different lifestyle preferences in one of Costa del Sol's most prestigious locations.

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.
