About Fuente Lirios
If you want to live in Benahavís without taking the car for every loaf of bread, there is little choice in new builds. Fuente Lirios is one of the few answers. The building is in the village itself, a few minutes' walk from the little squares and restaurants that draw people from all along the coast. It has 28 homes: apartments with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms and penthouses with their own solarium.
We see four types in the current supply. The smallest apartment has two bedrooms in 87 m² with an 11 m² terrace. The three-bedroom apartment measures 107 m² and has a 17 m² terrace. The penthouses are in a different league: 91 m² or 105 m² inside, with 87 m² and 101 m² of outdoor space respectively. That outdoor space also explains the big price gap between the standard apartments and the rooftop homes.
On top of the building there will be a communal solarium with a pool. From there you look out over the mountains of the Serranía de Ronda, not the sea. Every home gets an underground parking space pre-wired for an EV charger. The building has a lift and is gated. Construction of the first phase was due to start in May 2025, and completion is planned for 20 April 2027.
Amenities

- Communal solarium
- Private solarium for the penthouses
- Underground parking space

Fuente Lirios in figures
With a median price of €6,075 per m², Fuente Lirios is the third cheapest new development we track in Benahavís: 23 percent below the median of those projects. Compared with resale homes in the municipality, you pay around 8 percent more. With VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer, the €395,000 two-bedroom apartment costs around €446,440, roughly 13 percent extra. A third bedroom costs €100,000 more, which is reasonable. The real jump comes with the penthouses: the two-bedroom penthouse costs €745,000, or €350,000 more than the standard apartment with the same number of rooms. For that you get an 87 m² terrace instead of 11 m².
| Price | € 395.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 39.500 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 4.740 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 2.400 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 4.800 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
| 2 bedrooms | from €395,000 |

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 83% of new developments in Benahavís. Largest outdoor space: 101 m².
Planned completion April 2027. For half of the new developments in Benahavís, completion is within 4 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current listings of 12 new developments in Benahavís 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
Benahavís is a white mountain village at around 179 metres above sea level, inland behind San Pedro. It is known for its many restaurants and the surrounding nature: walking trails, the Guadalmina river and the Las Angosturas gorge. The village is small and easy to get to know. The municipality's large urbanisations and golf courses lie lower down, towards the coast. Living here means living among the villagers rather than in a gated resort. The beach is around 8 kilometres away.
The village centre is a 3-minute walk away. Creators International School is 9 minutes on foot. Allow 16 minutes by car to San Pedro, 18 minutes to Puerto Banús and 15 minutes to the Marbella Club golf course. HC Marbella hospital is 16 minutes away. You reach Málaga airport in around 62 minutes.
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 7:02 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. Fuente Lirios sits at around 179 metres above sea level.
The development has no sea views. From the rooftop pool and the upper floors you look out over the mountains around Benahavís; we check the view from each ground-floor apartment individually.
Homes and finishes
According to the project description, the homes will be delivered key-ready, with a contemporary interior, large windows and plenty of daylight. The building achieves an A energy rating. We have not yet received a detailed list of brands and materials. That is why we request the specification sheet for every buyer and compare it with the plans. In a building in a village centre, we also look at sound insulation against noise from the street and café terraces, and at access to the underground car park.
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 Fuente Lirios through Privé.

Who is Fuente Lirios right for?
Fuente Lirios suits anyone looking for authentic Andalusian village life, with restaurants, shops and walking trails within walking distance. Families with children at the nearby international school will also find what they need here. If you mainly come to Spain for the beach, or would like to live in a resort with a golf course on your doorstep, an urbanisation lower down the valley is a better fit.
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 Fuente Lirios
Can you live at Fuente Lirios without a car?
For everyday life in the village, yes: restaurants, shops and the school are within walking distance. For the beach, large supermarkets and Puerto Banús, you will need a car or taxi.
When will Fuente Lirios be completed?
Completion is planned for 20 April 2027. When you reserve, we ask about the progress of the works and check that your instalments are covered by a bank guarantee.
Does Fuente Lirios have sea views?
No. The building is in the mountain village, and the views are towards the mountains of the Serranía de Ronda. If you want sea views in Benahavís, you are better off looking at developments in the golf valley.
Are there new builds for sale in Benahavís village?
Very few. Most new builds in the municipality are in urbanisations along the golf courses. Fuente Lirios is one of the few developments in the village centre itself, which explains the demand for these homes.
Do I pay more if I buy Fuente Lirios 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 Fuente Lirios, that adds up to around 13.0%.
