About this property

Overview

ZOE LUXE is a new development of 4-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced at €3,250,000. The project sits within the Monte Mayor gated community, a low-density enclave of 24-hour security and more than 300 hectares of protected natural land. Its elevated position delivers unobstructed panoramic views across the Mediterranean, the valley and the surrounding mountains. This is one of the few remaining opportunities to acquire a contemporary villa on this scale within a community that strictly limits building density and preserves the landscape as a defining feature.

Each villa occupies a plot of 2,956 m² and offers 527 m² of built space distributed across two floors. The layout includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Large glazed surfaces run the length of the principal rooms, connecting interior spaces directly to the outdoor terraces. The architecture follows a horizontal, clean-lined approach with premium materials and a studied orientation to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy from neighbouring plots. Outside, the design includes multiple terrace zones, dedicated lounge and dining areas, and a swimming pool set within landscaped grounds. The pool design uses simple geometry to integrate visually with the surrounding terrain rather than dominate it.

Monte Mayor lies in the hills above the Benahavís municipality, approximately 15 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina and 20 minutes from central Marbella. The community attracts buyers seeking privacy and low building density, often families relocating from northern Europe or investors holding property long-term for personal use rather than rental yield. Benahavís itself is known for its concentration of golf courses and its inland position, which means cooler evenings in summer and a different microclimate to the coastal strip. Access involves a winding approach road through the hills, which reinforces the sense of separation but requires confidence with mountain driving, particularly after dark or in winter rain.

This is an off-plan project. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the plot and villa design, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and ensure that all community fees, build specifications, and completion guarantees are documented in writing. Monte Mayor's community rules are strict regarding architectural modifications and external finishes, so buyers planning any customisation should clarify what is permitted before exchange.

ZOE LUXE: Frequently Asked Questions

ZOE LUXE villas start from €3,250,000 and include a 4-bedroom detached villa with 527 m² of built space, a private garden, and your choice of either a private pool or access to communal pool facilities. All villas come fully finished and ready to move into once construction is complete.

ZOE LUXE is situated in Benahavis on the Costa del Sol, one of the most sought-after residential areas in the region known for its upscale properties and proximity to both Marbella and the coast. The location offers easy access to golf courses, fine dining, and the Mediterranean beaches while maintaining a quiet, exclusive atmosphere.

All ZOE LUXE villas are 4-bedroom detached properties with 527 m² of built space, so they follow the same footprint and bedroom count. However, the villas can be customized in terms of pool type, garden layout, and interior finishes to suit individual preferences.

ZOE LUXE offers sea views from the properties, a choice between private pools or communal pool access, and generous private gardens for each villa. The combination of these premium features at this price point, along with the exclusive Benahavis location, makes ZOE LUXE a strong choice for buyers seeking a luxury detached home on the Costa del Sol.

ZOE LUXE is currently under construction, so all villas are available off-plan for purchase. Completion dates will be confirmed during the sales process, and you can secure your villa now while construction is underway.

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.
