About this property
Overview
Isla Bela offers apartments ranging from 80 square metres for a two-bedroom home to 375 square metres at the top end, where you are looking at four bedrooms and substantial terrace space. The smaller units suit a couple or single professional wanting a base near the beach and golf courses.
The larger apartments, some with terraces approaching 200 square metres, work for families or buyers who entertain regularly and want multiple reception areas. Layouts follow a contemporary Andalusian courtyard concept, with floor-to-ceiling windows and open transitions between living spaces and terraces. Every home has either a communal or private pool, and parking is included.
The development sits between the AP-7 motorway and the coast in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella's golf corridor. Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is two minutes by car, and several other courses are within the same radius. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is five minutes away. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is a 25 minute walk or eight minutes by car. A Mercadona supermarket is three minutes on foot, and Colegio José Banús is a short drive for families with school-age children. Málaga Airport is 56 minutes by car.
Communal facilities include landscaped gardens, an outdoor pool, an indoor spa with heated pool, a gym, a coworking space and a social club with cinema. The setting suits golfers who want multiple courses on the doorstep, families who need schools and shops nearby, and buyers who prefer a quieter stretch of coast without giving up access to Marbella and Puerto Banús. The motorway is close, which means road noise reaches some parts of the site. Orientations vary across north, east, south and west, so natural light and views differ between units.

Isla Bela: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach and can you walk there?
Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 2 kilometres away, which takes about 25 minutes on foot. You can walk it, but most residents drive the eight minutes instead. The route follows residential streets rather than a promenade, so it suits an occasional stroll rather than a daily routine.
What is nearby for families with children?
Colegio José Banús is three minutes by car, and Aloha College international school is six minutes away. The nearest hospital is under a kilometre, reachable in three minutes. A supermarket sits 300 metres from the development, which means you can walk to stock up on basics. Marbella's wider school network and medical facilities are all within a short drive.
How does the location work for golfers?
Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is one kilometre away, a two minute drive from the development. Nueva Andalucía is known as Marbella's golf valley, so you have several other courses within the same radius. The downside is the motorway runs close by, which brings road noise to parts of the site.
What are the views like from the apartments?
Views vary depending on the unit. Some apartments face the sea, others look onto the communal gardens or the pool. Orientations run north, east, south and west, which affects both the natural light and what you see from the terrace. The description and photographs for each unit will show you exactly what that home offers.
Do the apartments have private pools or shared facilities?
Some homes come with a private pool, others use the communal one. Every apartment has either a terrace or garden space, with the larger units offering terraces close to 200 square metres. Communal facilities include landscaped gardens, an outdoor pool, an indoor spa with heated pool, a gym and a social club. If you have a private pool, you maintain it yourself.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
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 Marbella?
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.
