About this property

Overview

Abelias is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom middle floor apartments for sale in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, priced from €430,000 to €1,150,000. The development stands on the Finca Doña María estate, a location that combines proximity to coastal amenities with an inland hillside position that delivers panoramic views across the Mediterranean. The project includes duplex penthouses as well as standard apartments, offering buyers a choice between single-level living and split-level configurations. This range of unit types, combined with built sizes from 85 to 162 m², allows for flexibility in both budget and space requirements within a single community.

Built sizes span 85 to 162 m², with two-bedroom apartments at the lower end of that range and three-bedroom duplex penthouses occupying the larger footprints. All units include two to three bathrooms, with the master bedroom in each apartment featuring an en-suite with double sinks and a separate shower. The duplex penthouses are configured across two floors: the lower level contains an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that connects directly to a terrace, plus two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the upper floor is dedicated to the master suite with its own private terrace. Standard apartments maintain the same emphasis on outdoor connection, with terraces accessible from the main living areas. The development includes an infinity pool with views over the coast, a secondary chill-out pool, a solarium, and sports areas. A clubhouse provides a heated indoor pool, gym, and coworking space for residents.

Benalmadena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, approximately 20 minutes by car from Malaga airport. The town divides into three distinct zones: the coastal strip with its marina and beach clubs, the hillside pueblo with whitewashed streets, and the inland residential areas where Finca Doña María is located. Buyers here are typically Northern European second-home owners and retirees who prioritise year-round climate and airport access over beachfront positioning. The inland hillside location means cooler evenings in summer and better air circulation, but it also requires a car for daily errands. The AP-7 motorway is accessible within minutes, connecting to Marbella in 30 minutes westbound and Malaga city in 25 minutes eastbound.

This is an off-plan development with construction timelines and completion dates to be confirmed directly with the developer. Spanish new build purchases typically require a reservation deposit to secure a unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the final balance due on completion and key handover. All payment schedules and amounts should be verified with the developer before commitment. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish property lawyer to review contracts, confirm that bank guarantees are in place for stage payments, and conduct all necessary due diligence on the developer and the land title. Benalmadena's property market has historically attracted strong rental demand during both summer and winter months, particularly from families and longer-stay visitors seeking self-catering accommodation with amenities.

Abelias: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Abelias covers the apartment itself, a private garage space, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. All apartments come with either a private garden or terrace, and you get full use of the building's communal facilities. The exact inclusions vary slightly by apartment type, so it's worth checking your specific unit details.

Abelias is positioned right on the beachfront in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, giving you direct beach access and sea views from most units. The location puts you close to local restaurants, shops, and the marina, while still being in a quieter residential area compared to the town center. You're also well-connected to other Costa del Sol destinations by car.

Abelias offers 2 and 3-bedroom apartments ranging from 85 m² up to 162 m² in built size. The 2-bedroom units start around 85–100 m², while the 3-bedroom options go up to 162 m² and offer more living space and flexibility. Each size option is designed to maximize natural light and views from the beach-side location.

Most apartments at Abelias benefit from sea views thanks to the beach-side location, though the quality and extent of views vary depending on which floor and orientation your unit has. Middle floor apartments like those in this project typically offer excellent sea views without the premium pricing of top floors. It's worth confirming the exact view orientation when selecting your specific apartment.

Abelias is expected to be completed by the end of December 2027, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your apartment. This completion date allows the developers to maintain high construction standards and finish all communal areas to specification. You'll receive more detailed handover information as the project progresses.

Buying off-plan in Benalmadena 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.
