About this property

Overview

Villa Serenity is a new development of 5-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, priced at €2,500,000. This is a single-villa project built on a 621 m² plot, offering buyers the unusual option to configure the layout as either four or five bedrooms before construction begins. The architectural approach centres on volumetric play and a contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic, with earthy tones and natural materials including wood, marble, and stone in light finishes. The design prioritises outdoor living and uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean, positioning this as a high-specification coastal property in a market where detached villas at this price point typically sit inland or on smaller plots.

The villa provides 356 m² of built space across multiple levels connected by a lift. Each bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and private terrace, with views extending either to the sea or the surrounding mountains. The ground floor incorporates a sunken lounge with fireplace, a covered dining area beneath a wooden pergola, and a pool. Below ground, the specification includes an indoor spa with sauna and jacuzzi, a home cinema, a gym, and a storage room. The garage accommodates three vehicles. Interiors use marble and stone in soft tones, whilst exterior spaces feature wood cladding and pergola structures that create shifting light patterns across terraces. The furniture package is available as an optional purchase. Large-format glazing blurs the threshold between interior and exterior spaces, a design choice that works well in this climate but requires consideration for cooling loads during summer months.

Benalmadena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola on the western Costa del Sol, approximately 19 kilometres 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 developments climbing towards the Mijas mountains. This villa sits in the elevated residential zone, where buyers are typically Northern European second-home owners or retirees seeking sea views without beachfront density. The Buddhist Stupa, visible from some of the villa's bedrooms, sits roughly 2 kilometres north and serves as a useful geographical marker. Road access involves navigating narrow residential streets common to hillside developments in this area, which can present challenges for larger vehicles but ensures a degree of separation from the coastal traffic.

This is an off-plan project, with construction timelines and stage payment schedules to be confirmed directly with the developer. The standard Spanish new build payment structure typically requires a reservation deposit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. Buyers should instruct independent legal representation to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and confirm bank guarantees are in place. The option to adjust the bedroom count before construction starts is a practical advantage, but this decision window will close once groundwork begins, so early commitment is required to retain that flexibility.

Villa Serenity: Frequently Asked Questions

Villa Serenity starts at €2,500,000 and includes a 356 m² detached villa with 5 bedrooms, a private garden, private garage, and your choice of either a private or communal pool. All villas come with sea views as standard, making this beachside location in Benalmadena exceptional value for a property of this caliber.

Villa Serenity is located in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol, positioned right by the beach with direct sea access. This location puts you within easy reach of Benalmadena's restaurants, shops, and marina, while maintaining the privacy and tranquility that comes with a beachside villa.

All villas at Villa Serenity are 5-bedroom detached properties with 356 m² of built space, so the bedroom and size configuration is consistent across the project. However, you can choose between a private pool or communal pool option, and the layout and finishes can be customized to suit your preferences.

Villa Serenity offers direct beachfront positioning in Benalmadema, meaning every villa benefits from unobstructed sea views as a standard feature. Combined with the private garden and beach access, the sea view aspect is one of the key selling points that justifies the €2,500,000 starting price.

Villa Serenity is expected to be completed in October 2026, giving you a clear timeline for your investment in this Benalmadena beachfront project. This completion date allows for final customization and ensures the property meets all current building standards.

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.
