About this property

Overview

Aloha Forest sits on the mountain side of the AP-7 motorway in Marbella, which gives you quiet and space but puts the beach a drive away rather than a walk. These are two and three-bedroom apartments, ranging from 116 to 172 square metres built, with terraces that start at 30 square metres and run all the way to 162 square metres on the larger units. The biggest terraces belong to ground-floor homes with private gardens, so if you want outdoor space for children or a dog, look at those. Upper floors trade garden for mountain views and more privacy.

The location keeps you close to golf courses and to Puerto Banús Marina without being inside either. Mercadona is ten minutes on foot, Málaga Airport 57 minutes by car. Schools and shops are nearby, but the coast itself is a few kilometres south, so this suits buyers who want greenery and lower density more than they want to walk to the beach. Families often prefer this trade, particularly when they are choosing between the coast road and a hillside setting with better air and less traffic.

Each home has a private pool, either on the terrace or in the garden, and the development has shared pools as well. Kitchens are fully fitted, wardrooms built in, and every bedroom gets its own bathroom in the three-bedroom layouts. The two-bedroom units have two bathrooms, which means guests do not share with the main bedroom. There is a gym in the community. The apartments face gardens, mountains, the pool or internal courtyards, so no road noise and no views of the motorway below.

This is not a beachside development and it is not walkable to the marina or the golf clubs, so if you want to be on foot for most of your day, look elsewhere. It works for buyers who drive anyway and who value the surroundings and the space more than proximity to the sand.

Location

Marbella

Location shown is the development site. This development is in MarbellaCosta del Sol.

Aloha Forest is positioned above the AP-7, towards the mountains in Marbella. Málaga Airport is 44.7 kilometers away, about a 57-minute drive. For everyday needs, Mercadona supermarket is just 770 meters away, a 10-minute walk or 3-minute drive. The mountain-side location offers a peaceful setting while keeping you connected to Marbella's main amenities and the wider Costa del Sol. This works well for buyers seeking space and nature without sacrificing convenience.

ALOHA FOREST: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Nagüeles is 3.5 kilometres away, about ten minutes by car. The development sits inland of the AP-7 motorway, so you are on the mountain side of Marbella rather than the coast side, which means the beach is always a drive. If you want to walk to the sea most days, this location will not suit you.

Mercadona supermarket is a ten-minute walk. Schools and shops are close by on foot. The golf courses, Puerto Banús Marina and the beach all need a car, so this suits buyers who drive as a matter of course rather than those planning to walk everywhere.

Every home has its own private pool, either on the terrace or in the garden. Ground-floor units come with private gardens, and their terraces can reach 162 square metres. Upper-floor apartments have smaller terraces but better mountain views and more privacy. The development also has communal pools.

Málaga Airport is 45 kilometres away, about 57 minutes by car. That makes lock-up-and-leave use straightforward, and the journey is motorway most of the way. The distance suits weekend visits as well as longer stays.

Homes face mountains, gardens, the pool or internal courtyards. The development sits inland of the motorway, so you get greenery and hillside rather than sea views, and no road noise. The outlook is quieter and greener than anything on the coast side of Marbella.

Buying off-plan in Marbella 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.
