About Alcantara Del Mar
A two-minute walk to the San Pedro promenade and no hill to climb: the location is the first argument for Alcantara del Mar. The development in El Ingenio, on the southern side of San Pedro Alcántara, has 38 homes and a few street-level retail units. It comprises 17 apartments, 10 townhouses and 11 villas. Everything is sold off-plan, with prices from €617,400 to €2,267,250 and planned completion on 1 November 2028.
The apartments in our listings have two or three bedrooms, with underground parking and a storage room reached by lift. On the ground floor you start at €617,400 for two bedrooms; three bedrooms cost €815,200. A two-bedroom penthouse with a 125 m² terrace is priced at €799,500. The townhouses are spread over several levels, with their own roof terrace, usually a private lift and two parking spaces in the basement. They cost €1,204,970 to €1,562,855.
At the top of the range are the villas with five or six bedrooms, a basement, two living floors and a rooftop solarium, linked by a private lift. Each villa has its own pool and garden on a plot of more than 300 m². In our listings, the six-bedroom villa costs €2,167,250 and the five-bedroom one €2,267,250. The larger villa is cheaper because of its smaller plot: 306 versus 379 m².

Alcantara Del Mar in figures
The median of €4,816 per m² is 31% below that of new builds in Marbella (€6,948) and 19% below resale homes (€5,967). Only four developments in the municipality are cheaper per m². That low price per m² is partly because the areas include basements and solariums; one agent's site calculates €5,649 per m² for the entry-level apartment on a smaller area. With VAT (€61,740), stamp duty (€7,409), notary (€3,700) and lawyer (€7,500), the entry-level home costs €697,749. Patience is needed: completion is 25 months away, whereas the median in Marbella is 3 months.

Location
El Ingenio is the part of San Pedro Alcántara between the centre and the sea. You live here at just 20 metres above sea level, close to the promenade with its café terraces and walkways. San Pedro is the friendly, Spanish side of Marbella, lively all year round. So you do not need a car for a coffee or an evening stroll.
On foot you are 7 minutes from Lidl, 11 minutes from the international Calpe School and 16 minutes from the centre of San Pedro. San Pedro beach is a 20-minute walk or a 3-minute drive away. Guadalmina golf is a 6-minute drive, Puerto Banús 7 and the village of Benahavís 12.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:02 on 21 June and sets at 21:41, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Alcantara Del Mar sits at around 20 metres above sea level.
In our data, sea views are not confirmed for any of the homes. Given the low elevation of 20 metres, we mainly expect views over the neighbourhood and from the roof terraces; we check this home by home on the plans.
Homes and finishes
The specifications are extensive: 2.85 m ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows in thermally broken aluminium, interior patios for light, water-based underfloor heating, a heat pump for cooling and heating, and solar panels on the roof. The kitchen has Siemens appliances, and the floors are large 90 by 90 cm porcelain tiles, on the terraces too. The villas get home automation and pre-installation for a charging point. Above all, we check the payment schedule: according to one agent, you pay 50% before completion, so bank guarantees are essential here.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Alcantara Del Mar through Privé.

Who is Alcantara Del Mar right for?
Alcantara del Mar suits buyers who want everyday Spanish life in San Pedro, with the promenade, schools and shops within walking distance. Families will find four-bedroom townhouses with a lift; if you want more space, choose a villa with a pool. If you want to move in quickly, are looking for sea views or would rather not make stage payments for two years, a completed development is a better choice.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Alcantara Del Mar
When will Alcantara del Mar be completed?
Our data says 1 November 2028. One agent's site reports that the building licence is expected in October 2026 and does not yet publish a completion date. We follow up on the licence before you sign a reservation.
What does the payment schedule look like?
According to one agent, for the apartments and townhouses you pay 3% on reservation, 27% when the licence is granted, 20% six months later and 50% on completion. No schedule has been published for the villas.
What is the nicest area of Marbella to live in?
That depends on what you are looking for. If you want a lively, Spanish character with everything within walking distance, San Pedro Alcántara around the promenade is a strong choice. Alcantara del Mar is right in the middle of it.
Do the townhouses have a lift?
Most townhouses have a private lift serving all floors, plus two parking spaces in the basement and an extra room for a gym, games room or study. We check for each home exactly which ones have a lift.
Do I pay more if I buy Alcantara Del Mar through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Alcantara Del Mar, that adds up to around 13.0%.
