About Libella
With most new builds you buy off-plan and wait a year or two. Libella is different: the building has been finished since June 2025, there is a show flat and the available apartments are key-ready. So you see exactly what you are buying. The development is in Parque Selwo, on the hill between Estepona and Marbella, next to the Selwo Aventura wildlife park and surrounded by green space.
Three homes are for sale, all with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and sea views. The ground-floor apartment costs €595,000 for 136 m² with a 30 m² terrace. On the second floor there is a 150 m² apartment with a 50 m² terrace at €798,000. The penthouse has a 104 m² terrace and costs €875,000. Every home has an A energy rating, which is not yet the norm in this region.
The development itself has a pool, a solarium and a social club with a gym and coworking space. As an owner you also get access to the club of the previous phase, with a sauna, a second gym and a heated pool that is open all year. At least one parking space and a storage room are included in the price, and some homes have two.

Libella in figures
Libella asks a median of €5,320 per m², 6% above the Estepona new-build median (€5,038) and 6% above resale homes (€5,021). For a home that is already finished, that is a small premium: you take no construction risk and do not pay years of instalments without rental income. With all purchase costs, the cheapest apartment at €595,000 comes to around €672,440, including €59,500 VAT and €7,140 stamp duty. At €4,375 per m², the ground-floor apartment is clearly the sharpest price, and the penthouse at €6,341 per m² the most expensive. The median ratio of terrace to living area is 33%.
| Price | € 595.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 59.500 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 7.140 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 3.600 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 7.200 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 41% of new developments in Estepona. Largest outdoor space: 104 m².

Location
Parque Selwo is a residential area in the east of the Estepona municipality, far from the town centre and closer to Marbella. Its character is shaped by the Selwo Aventura nature park, where more than 1,000 animals live in semi-freedom, and by the surrounding golf courses. The listing mentions unobstructed views thanks to that park. It is a quiet, green spot, with the A7 close by for fast connections along the coast.
You will need a car here, though. The supermarket is a 7-minute drive, and on foot it takes almost an hour. La Resina golf club is 7 minutes away and the hospital 5. Puerto Banús is 16 minutes away, Estepona town centre 13 and Marbella centre 25. The listing mentions 1 km to the beach, but by our measurement Playa de Guadalmansa is a 7-minute drive. Málaga airport is 61 minutes away.
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. Libella sits at around 75 metres above sea level.
All three available homes are listed with sea views. Given the position at 75 metres above sea level and the open nature park next door, the view is unlikely to disappear later, but we check it for each home.
Homes and finishes
Every home has underfloor heating, supplemented by ducted air conditioning. The kitchen has wall and base units with built-in appliances, the front door is armoured and the living room and bedrooms have motorised shutters. The development is covered by CCTV. Because the homes are finished, we can test everything with you before you sign: the underfloor heating in every room, the air conditioning, the shutters and any signs of damp on terraces and in the storage room. After a year in use, you can also see how the building performs.
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 Libella through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Libella
Strengths
- Key-ready with a show flat: you see the real finish and take no construction risk.
- A energy rating, better than most new builds in Estepona.
- Sea views from every available home, with a nature park as your neighbour.
- Access to two clubs, including a heated pool for year-round use.
- Underfloor heating, an armoured door and at least one parking space included as standard.
Points to consider
- Difficult without a car: the supermarket and beach are not within walking distance.
- The listing states 1 km to the beach; our measurement comes to a 7-minute drive.
- Only 2-bedroom homes available, so no option for larger families.
- Other agents show different prices and home types, so compare the references carefully.
Who is Libella right for?
Libella is ideal if you do not want to wait: a couple who want to enjoy it this year, or a buyer who wants a rental property to start earning quickly. It also suits anyone who values peace, greenery and golf more than strolling to a café terrace in town. If you want to live without a car or in the lively heart of Estepona, Las Mesas or the town centre 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 Libella
Can I view Libella in Estepona straight away?
Yes. The building was completed in June 2025 and there is a show flat. We arrange a viewing where you also see the available homes themselves, including the view from the terrace at the time of day that matters to you.
How close is the Selwo Aventura wildlife park?
The park borders the neighbourhood; the listing mentions 500 metres. Above all it is a green buffer that keeps the view open. We recommend visiting at different times of day so you can hear for yourself how quiet it is.
Is Libella suitable for spending the winter?
Yes. Underfloor heating, a heated pool in the previous phase's club and 9.7 hours of daylight in December make winter comfortable here. You will need a car for shopping and outings, though.
Why do other websites show different prices for Libella?
Other agents work with their own references, sometimes for different homes or from an earlier price list, and the odd listing is even furnished. We always confirm the current price and availability of the home you want.
Do I pay more if I buy Libella 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 Libella, that adds up to around 13.0%.
