About this property

Overview

MOANA is a new development of 4-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol, priced at €1,850,000. The project comprises just ten independent villas, making it one of the smaller gated communities on this stretch of coast. Each property is designed around a private social hub and shared leisure facilities, a response to the growing number of buyers who work remotely and want structured opportunities to meet neighbours without leaving the development. The scale is deliberate: small enough to feel residential rather than resort-like, large enough to justify communal amenities that would be impractical in a standalone villa.

Each villa offers 440 m² of built space across four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The architecture prioritises open-plan interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing natural light to reach deep into the living areas. Large terraces extend the usable space outdoors, and the elevated position of the development provides sea views from upper floors and outdoor areas. A private pool is included with each villa. The supplier description references a bespoke social hub and leisure facilities shared across the ten villas, though the exact specification of these communal spaces has not been detailed in the available data. The design is contemporary, with clean lines and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow rather than traditional Andalusian styling.

Benalmádena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, approximately 19 kilometres west of Málaga Airport, which is a 20-minute drive in light traffic. The town attracts a mix of permanent residents and second-home buyers, particularly from Northern Europe, who value the proximity to the airport and the fact that Benalmádena has retained a year-round population with schools, medical facilities, and supermarkets that remain open outside the summer season. The marina at Puerto Marina is one of the more established on the Costa del Sol, around 4 kilometres from the hillside areas where new developments like MOANA are typically located. Benalmádena is not a beachfront town in the traditional sense: the coastal strip is built up and busy, while the residential developments occupy the slopes above, which means views come at the cost of a drive to the beach. Buyers here tend to prioritise space, privacy, and a community feel over immediate beach access.

MOANA is currently under construction, with completion expected in the coming months, though the exact handover date should be confirmed directly with the developer. The standard Spanish payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the villa, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All amounts and timelines must be verified with the developer before committing. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended, particularly for buyers unfamiliar with Spanish property law. The ten-villa scale means that once sold, there will be no further opportunity to buy into this specific community, which may appeal to buyers who prefer a finite, established group of neighbours.

MOANA: Frequently Asked Questions

MOANA starts from €1,850,000 for a 4-bedroom detached villa with 440 m² of built space. This price includes the villa itself with either a private or communal pool option, depending on which unit you select within the MOANA development.

MOANA is situated in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol, one of Spain's most sought-after coastal areas. The location offers easy access to local amenities, beaches, and the wider Costa del Sol infrastructure while maintaining a residential feel.

All villas in MOANA are 4-bedroom detached properties with 440 m² of built space, so they follow the same floor plan and size. However, you can choose between a private pool or communal pool option depending on your preference and the specific villa you select.

MOANA offers flexibility with either a private pool for your own villa or access to a communal pool within the development. The choice depends on your lifestyle preference and which villa unit you purchase, with pricing reflecting this option.

MOANA is expected to be completed in April 2026, giving you a clear timeline for when you can move into your new 4-bedroom villa. This completion date applies across the MOANA development.

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.
