About Nine In Paradise
Buy a new villa and be swimming in your own pool the same week: at Nine in Paradise you can. These are nine villas in Paraíso Alto, the higher part of El Paraíso between Estepona and Marbella. They were completed in September 2026, are sold fully furnished and there is a show home. Each villa has its own layout, but the architecture is the same throughout: clean volumes, horizontal lines and lots of glass.
Two villas remain in our listings. The larger has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 453 m² built on a 1,000 m² plot, and costs €2,300,000. The other has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 383 m² on 804 m² of land, for €2,440,000. Both have 100 m² of terrace, a private pool, a landscaped garden with mature planting and parking for two cars.
The space is spread over a basement, a ground floor and an upper floor. There is a separate laundry room and a storage room, and the whole is set in a gated environment. Notably, the larger five-bedroom villa is cheaper than the smaller one. That may be down to position, orientation or finish on the plot, and it is exactly the kind of difference we look into with you on site.

Nine In Paradise in figures
With a median of €5,724 per m², Nine in Paradise is 14% above the Estepona new-build median (€5,038) and 14% above resale homes (€5,021). For a finished, furnished villa with its own pool, that is a modest premium: you pay no interior budget and run no construction risk. The five-bedroom villa works out at €5,077 per m², making it €140,000 cheaper than the four-bedroom one. For that villa, allow a total cost of around €2,599,200: €230,000 VAT, €27,600 stamp duty, €13,800 notary and €27,800 lawyer. Terrace space is fairly limited at a median of 24%, but the garden more than makes up for it.

Who is Nine In Paradise right for?

If you insist on sea views, prefer to do everything on foot or want to personalise an off-plan villa, you are better off looking at other developments.
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.
