Aruna, Cabopino Golf: last ground-floor apartment with sea views in Marbella

About Aruna
At Aruna, the question is no longer which home to choose, but whether the last one suits you. Of the twelve apartments and penthouses in this complex, we still have one home for sale: a ground-floor apartment with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for €1,350,000. Some agents already list the project as sold. The home is in Cabopino Golf, on the eastern side of Marbella, where pine woods and dunes shape the landscape.
The apartment measures 159 m² built, of which 125 m² usable. On top of that comes an 82 m² terrace and a 49 m² plot of land. That is a lot of outdoor space for an apartment: the ratio of outdoor to indoor space is higher than for two thirds of the new builds in Marbella. It comes with energy rating A, one parking space and a storage room. The promotional documents mention private pools for the ground-floor homes, but our unit data shows none. We will check this against the plans beforehand.
The complex consists of two buildings, positioned so that the living areas look out to the sea and the mountains. Communal facilities include a saltwater pool, landscaped gardens, a gym, a sauna and a co-working space for anyone working remotely from Spain. The whole site is gated. Twelve homes means few neighbours and a quiet pool, but also a small community to share the costs.

Aruna in figures
At €8,491 per m², Aruna is 22% above the median for new builds in Marbella (€6,948) and 42% above resale homes (€5,967). Only a quarter of the projects in the municipality are cheaper per m². In return you get plenty of outdoor space: an 82 m² terrace plus a plot of land, and sea views, which are not a given in this price range. With VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer, count on around €1,525,600 in total, 13% above the asking price. Completion is planned for August 2027, 10 months from now. That is later than the median of 3 months for new builds in Marbella, but it gives you time to arrange financing calmly.

Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 36 new developments in Marbella and the average asking price of resale homes according to Idealista (September 2026). Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Cabopino lies in the east of Marbella, where the town gives way to nature. The pine woods begin behind the home, and towards the sea lie the Artola dunes and the small Cabopino marina. The development sits at around 102 metres above sea level, which explains the sea views. You live here between golf courses and unspoilt beaches, far from the bustle of Puerto Banús. The beach clubs on this stretch of coast are a short drive away. If you mainly know Marbella from the Golden Mile, bear in mind that this is a quieter, greener part of the coast.
Cabopino golf course is a two-minute walk away. You can reach Calahonda beach in 6 minutes by car or 26 minutes on foot. For shopping, it is a 4-minute drive to OpenCor. Hospital Costa del Sol is 12 minutes away, Marbella old town 18 minutes and Málaga airport 41 minutes. Puerto Banús is a 23-minute drive.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:01 on 21 June and sets at 21:40, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Aruna sits at around 102 metres above sea level.
This home is listed with sea views. The complex is laid out so that the living areas face the Mediterranean and the mountains. As it is a ground-floor unit, we check on site whether vegetation or neighbouring buildings restrict the view.
Homes and finishes
The apartment has underfloor heating throughout, driven by an aerothermal system, and fast-heating electric elements in the bathrooms. There is air conditioning, home automation to manage comfort and access, and a fully equipped kitchen with porcelain worktops. The terraces are finished with non-slip porcelain tiles. As we do not have a specification in hand, we request the quality sheet, the building licence and the bank guarantee on your deposits before you reserve.
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 Aruna through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Aruna
Strengths
- Sea views confirmed for the available home, at around 102 metres above sea level.
- 82 m² terrace plus 49 m² of land with a ground-floor apartment.
- Cabopino Golf a two-minute walk away.
- Energy rating A with aerothermal underfloor heating.
- Only twelve homes in two buildings, so few neighbours.
Points to consider
- Price per m² is 22% above the median for new builds in Marbella.
- Completion in August 2027; another agent mentions the second quarter of 2027.

Who is Aruna right for?
Aruna suits golfers and nature lovers looking for a spacious apartment with sea views who prefer the peace of eastern Marbella to the nightlife. Being close to the airport also makes it practical if you fly back and forth often. If you would rather do everything on foot, take children to a school in the west or want a keen price per m², other projects will suit you better.
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 Aruna
Is Aruna in Cabopino already sold out?
Almost. Some agents show the project as sold, but we still have one 3-bedroom ground-floor apartment for sale at €1,350,000. We confirm availability before you plan a visit.
When will Aruna be completed?
Our data says August 2027. Another source mentions the second quarter of 2027. According to one agent, you pay €11,000 on reservation, 30% on signing the contract and the balance on completion. We check the bank guarantee on every advance payment.
Where do the wealthy live in Marbella, and how does Cabopino compare?
The most expensive addresses are around the Golden Mile, Sierra Blanca and La Zagaleta. Cabopino is quieter and greener, with golf and unspoilt beaches. You pay less here than on the Golden Mile, yet Aruna is still above the median for new builds in Marbella.
How far is the beach from Aruna?
Calahonda beach is a 6-minute drive or a 26-minute walk. The Artola dunes and Cabopino marina are also nearby.
Do I pay more if I buy Aruna 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 Aruna, that adds up to around 13.0%.
