About this property

Overview

Carib Playa is a new development of 5-bedroom detached villas for sale in Marbella, Costa del Sol, priced at €1,800,000. This is a beachside project in the Marbesa neighbourhood, built on a 694 m² plot with extensive outdoor amenities including a pool constructed with Indonesian stone, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. The property includes a separate guest apartment with its own kitchen, which is relatively unusual at this price point and adds flexibility for extended family visits or rental income from part of the villa.

Each villa offers 280 m² of built space across two levels, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe. The ground floor follows an open-plan layout connecting the living room, kitchen, and dining area, with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening onto the terrace. Outside, the garden includes covered and uncovered terrace areas, a dining zone, a barbecue with kitchenette, and a chill-out area. The pool uses Indonesian stone for both aesthetic and water purification purposes. A carport provides parking for up to four vehicles. The outdoor space is designed for year-round use, with multiple zones for different activities rather than a single large terrace.

Marbesa sits on the eastern edge of Marbella's beachside strip, roughly 12 minutes by car from the old town and 15 minutes from Puerto Banús. The neighbourhood attracts a mix of northern European second-home buyers and year-round residents who prefer a quieter alternative to the Golden Mile or Nueva Andalucía, with direct beach access and lower density than central Marbella. The area has a small commercial centre with supermarkets, cafés, and beach clubs within walking distance, but for broader shopping, dining, and international schools, buyers typically drive into Marbella or towards Elviria. This is a residential pocket rather than a resort zone, so the atmosphere is quieter, particularly outside July and August.

The supplier description indicates this villa is currently reserved, suggesting the project may be a single completed unit rather than a multi-phase development. Buyers considering similar beachside villas in Marbesa should clarify construction timelines and any remaining availability directly with the developer. Standard Spanish new build transactions involve a reservation deposit, stage payments during construction if applicable, and the balance on completion and key handover, though exact percentages vary by developer. Independent legal representation is essential for all property purchases in Spain, particularly for new developments where build quality, snagging procedures, and community fee structures need careful review. The inclusion of a guest apartment with separate kitchen access may have implications for rental licensing if buyers intend to let part of the property short-term.

Carib Playa: Frequently Asked Questions

The base price of €1,800,000 for Carib Playa covers the 5-bedroom detached villa with 280 m² of built space, a private garden, private garage, and your choice of either a private or communal pool. All villas come fully finished and ready to move into upon completion in April 2025.

Carib Playa is scheduled for completion on 30 April 2025, at which point your villa will be ready for immediate occupation. This timeline gives you a clear target date to plan your move to this beachfront development in 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.
