About this property
Overview
These are large townhouses built across four floors, each with a private lift connecting all levels. The layouts run from 345 to 350 square metres, with three or four bedrooms and matching bathrooms.
The master suite includes a dressing room, en-suite and its own terrace. The other bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and share a bathroom. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen and living space opens directly onto a terrace and private garden. Each home has two parking spaces, a storage room and a laundry. The terraces are substantial, between 76 and 79 square metres, with room for an outdoor kitchen, dining area and optional jacuzzi. The scale suits families who need space and want everything on one plot without sharing walls on both sides.
The development sits on the coast side of the AP-7 in Elviria, between the motorway and the sea. El Alicate beach is a 10 minute drive. Greenlife Golf Marbella is three minutes away, so this works well if you play regularly. English International College and Instituto de Educación Secundaria Las Dunas are both within six minutes by car. Marbella town centre is 16 minutes for shops and restaurants. Málaga Airport is 51 minutes. The location gives you easy access to the coast and a golf course without being in a resort or right on the beach road.
The communal facilities are extensive: a heated semi-Olympic outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, gym with yoga and Pilates studio, sauna, hammam and hydrotherapy area. Outside, there are five sports and wellness zones, yoga and calisthenics areas, an outdoor bar with Balinese beds, and landscaped communal gardens. Security is in place around the clock. The drawback is that a development this large, with 113 townhouses, means sharing those facilities with many other households, and the communal areas will be busy at peak times.

Serenity Hills: Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the townhouses?
Each townhouse is between 345 and 350 square metres of built space, spread across four floors connected by a private lift. The terraces add another 76 to 79 square metres. Each home also has a 350 square metre private garden, so you get outdoor space that belongs to you alone rather than just shared lawns.
How far is the beach from Elviria?
El Alicate is 2.5 kilometres away, about 10 minutes by car. This is not a beachfront development and the distance means you will drive rather than walk. The upside is you are far enough inland to avoid the noise and traffic of the coastal road while still reaching the sea quickly.
What is nearby for families with children?
English International College is 1.4 kilometres away, a five minute drive. The nearest hospital, Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol, is six minutes by car. A supermarket sits 1.3 kilometres from the development. Everything you need day to day is close, but Elviria itself is suburban and you will use the car for most errands.
What are the views like?
Homes overlook a mix of sea, golf course, garden and beach, with some offering panoramic perspectives that take in more than one. Which view you get depends on which plot and floor you are on. The development sits close to Greenlife Golf Marbella, so fairways feature in many sightlines.
How far is Málaga Airport?
Málaga Airport is 32 kilometres away, about 51 minutes by car. That makes this workable as a second home you can reach the same day you land, but the drive is long enough that you will want to plan your journeys and avoid peak traffic if you can.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Elviria 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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Elviria?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
