About this property

Overview

Solaia is a new development of 2 to 4-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €890,000 to €2,100,000. The project comprises just 22 homes, an unusually small scale for this stretch of coast, which limits density and allows for more generous spacing between units. The development sits in Bel Air on the New Golden Mile, the coastal corridor between Marbella and Estepona that has seen concentrated new build activity over the past decade. Architecture references organic forms rather than the standard rectilinear blocks common to the area, and the project includes a rainwater collection system for garden irrigation.

Built sizes range from 123 to 213 m², with two to four bathrooms depending on the unit. All apartments are configured as elevated ground floor layouts with private terraces, though the supplier description distinguishes between different terrace orientations: some face the sea, others overlook the communal pool and landscaping, and a subset offer wraparound terraces suited to larger gatherings. Penthouse units include private rooftop solariums with outdoor kitchens and jacuzzis. The development provides a communal pool set within Mediterranean gardens, a wellness area with sauna and steam bath, a coworking lounge, and concierge service. Interiors include large-format porcelain tiles, smart home technology, and bathrooms fitted with LED mirrors, temperature-controlled showers, and intelligent toilets. Terrace flooring is non-slip specification.

Bel Air occupies a hillside position inland from the A7 coast road, roughly 12 minutes by car from Puerto Banús and 8 minutes from Estepona town centre. The New Golden Mile attracts a mix of Northern European second-home buyers and year-round residents who want proximity to Marbella's infrastructure without the density or price premium of the Golden Mile proper. The area has good motorway access but limited walkable amenities, so a car is necessary for most errands. Bel Air itself is an established residential zone with a country club, and the immediate surroundings are a combination of older villas and recent apartment complexes. The Mediterranean views referenced in the supplier description are available from elevated plots, though specific sightlines will vary by unit and floor level.

This is an off-plan project, so completion dates and construction timelines should be confirmed directly with the developer. Standard Spanish new build payment structures typically involve a reservation deposit, stage payments linked to construction milestones, and a final balance on completion and key handover, though exact percentages and schedules are set by the developer and should be reviewed in the purchase contract. Independent legal representation is recommended for all off-plan transactions in Spain. The small unit count means fewer resale comparables once the development is complete, which can complicate future valuations but may appeal to buyers prioritising exclusivity over liquidity.

Solaia: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Solaia covers the apartment itself, your private garage, and access to either a private garden or communal pool depending on your unit type. All ground floor apartments at Solaia come with these amenities as standard, so you're getting outdoor space and parking built into what you pay.

Solaia is located in Bel Air on the Costa del Sol, right on the beachfront. Being beach-side means you have direct access to the coast, and the south-facing orientation gives you year-round sunshine and sea views from your home.

Solaia offers ground floor apartments ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms, with built sizes between 123 and 213 square metres. This gives you flexibility to choose a compact 2-bed apartment or scale up to a spacious 4-bed unit depending on your needs and budget.

The main draw of Solaia is the beach-side setting with guaranteed sea views and south-facing orientation, which means natural light and views throughout the day. Combined with your private garden or access to the communal pool, you get a genuine coastal lifestyle without compromising on outdoor space.

Solaia is expected to be completed in June 2027, giving you time to plan your move to the Costa del Sol. Ground floor apartments at Solaia will be ready for occupation from that date onwards.

Buying off-plan in Bel Air 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.
