About Marbella Sunset
On the east side of Marbella, where Cabopino golf course meets the Artola dunes, you will find Marbella Sunset. It is a gated development with generous gardens and two separate pool areas. Property portals mention around fourteen homes, making it one of the smaller developments in the municipality. Construction is finished: completion took place in July 2025. The home we are currently offering is key-ready, so you can view it today exactly as it is.
It is a ground-floor apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with 164 m² of built area. On top of that come 81 m² of terrace and a further 19 m² of private land. Floor-to-ceiling windows open seamlessly onto the terrace, so in good weather the living space simply flows outdoors. The idea behind the design is an apartment that feels like a villa: plenty of natural light, few corridors and a terrace that works as an extra room.
According to the sales information, the development also includes penthouses, some of which can have a private pool on the terrace, as well as four-bedroom homes. These are not currently in our listings. If you are looking for a ground-floor home, though, you get something that is scarce in this price range: direct access to the garden, no stairs, in a development with few neighbours.

Marbella Sunset in figures
The price of €1,150,000 works out at €7,012 per m². That is barely 1% above the median of all 36 new developments in our Marbella comparison, but 18% above resale homes in the municipality (€5,967). In other words, you pay the normal new-build price, with no discount and no large premium. After VAT and the usual purchase costs you are looking at around €1,299,600, or 13% extra. Outdoor space amounts to 49% of the built area. A key difference from many competitors: this home has been finished since July 2025, while the median development in Marbella is still 3 months away from completion. So you are not paying months of stage payments on a home that is still under construction.

Location
Cabopino lies between Marbella and Mijas, on the municipal boundary. The urbanisations here are greener and less densely built than in western Marbella. The development sits at around 85 metres above sea level on the golf course, with the Artola dunes nature area between the residential area and the sea. There you will find a beach of around 1,200 metres of fine sand, next to the small marina of Cabopino. It is an area for people who prefer peace and nature to nightlife.
Day to day, an OpenCor supermarket is 4 minutes away by car or a 23-minute walk. Calahonda beach is a 6-minute drive or 28 minutes on foot. Allow 11 minutes to the A&E department of Hospital Costa del Sol and 9 to Colegio Alborán. Marbella old town is 18 minutes away and Puerto Banús 23 minutes. Málaga Airport is around 41 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 7:01 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. Marbella Sunset sits at around 85 metres above sea level.
According to the project data, this home has sea views, with the golf course in the foreground. A ground-floor home does, of course, look out from lower down than a penthouse; how open the view is above the garden and trees is something we will assess together on site.
Homes and finishes
The homes have floor-to-ceiling windows linking terrace and living space, heating and energy rating B. There is a lift and a storage room with the home. Our information gives no details on the brand of kitchen or bathroom fittings, so we will check those on site. As the home is already completed, during a viewing we check the occupancy licence, the energy certificate, the terrace drainage, the heating and cooling, and the condition of the communal areas. We also request the owners' association budget.
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 Marbella Sunset through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Marbella Sunset
Strengths
- Key-ready since July 2025, so you see exactly what you are buying
- Small development of around fourteen homes, with two pool areas
- Ground floor with 81 m² terrace plus 19 m² private land, no stairs
- Set on Cabopino golf course, close to the Artola dunes
- Price per m² in line with the Marbella new-build median
Points to consider
- You pay 18% more per m² than for a resale home in Marbella
- Puerto Banús and Marbella town centre are an 18 to 23-minute drive away
- Sources differ on the unit types: our feed lists 1, 3 and 4 bedrooms, portals only 3 and 4
- Only one home in our listings, so little choice of floor or view
- Sea views from the ground floor are more limited than from higher floors
Who is Marbella Sunset right for?
Marbella Sunset suits buyers who want a quiet, green setting close to golf and a natural beach, and who want to buy without construction risk. Retirees and families who would rather avoid stairs will get a lot out of the ground-floor home with garden. If, on the other hand, you are after the buzz of Puerto Banús or the Golden Mile, or want to do everything on foot, Cabopino will feel a little remote.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Marbella Sunset
