About Salvia
Salvia is one of the few large new developments in Marbella where you can genuinely live without a car. The development is on the edge of San Pedro de Alcántara, close to the palm-lined promenade. You can reach the beach, a supermarket, a school and the centre of San Pedro on foot. According to agents, the project has two phases with around 195 homes in total, with apartments and penthouses of two to four bedrooms. The homes we offer will be completed in December 2026.
There are three homes in our current offer. A three-bedroom first-floor apartment offers 150 m² and a 42 m² terrace. There are also two penthouses: one with three bedrooms at 126 m² and a 71 m² terrace, and one with four bedrooms at 173 m² with no less than 175 m² of terrace. The bedrooms have floor-length windows opening onto the terrace, and every home comes with built-in wardrobes and a generous dressing room.
The development is fully fenced, with a secure entrance and a security checkpoint. Inside you will find landscaped gardens, a heated indoor pool, a saltwater outdoor pool, a gym with spa and a co-working space. There are charging points for electric cars. Every home includes at least one parking space and a storage room in the price. So it is a large development, but with facilities you can use all year round.

Salvia in figures
Here you pay for the location. The median of €8,931 per m² is 29 percent above other new builds in Marbella and 50 percent above resale homes in the municipality. Of the 36 developments in our comparison, 26 are cheaper per m². The three-bedroom apartment at €945,000 is relatively the best value, at €6,300 per m², and comes to around €1,067,940 with all purchase costs included. The jump to the four-bedroom penthouse is big: €600,000 more, although you do get a 175 m² terrace. On average, the outdoor space is 56 percent of the living area, more than at 78 percent of the developments. Completion in 2 months is in line with the median of 3 months.

Location
San Pedro de Alcántara is the lively district of Marbella west of Puerto Banús, with its own centre and a promenade along the beach. Salvia sits at around 20 metres above sea level, between the town centre and the sea. It feels like living in a real Spanish town, with residents who live there all year, not like a holiday park. At the same time, you are a few minutes from Puerto Banús and the Guadalmina golf courses.
You notice the difference every day. Carrefour is a 10-minute walk away, as is Laude international school. You reach the centre of San Pedro on foot in 11 minutes and Playa de San Pedro in 18 minutes. By car you are at HC Marbella International Hospital in 4 minutes, in Puerto Banús in 6 minutes and at the Guadalmina golf in 7 minutes. Málaga airport is about a 51-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 07:02 on 21 June and sets at 21:41, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December that falls to 9.7 hours, with the midday sun 30° above the horizon. Salvia sits about 20 metres above sea level.
The project details do not confirm sea views or an orientation for the homes we offer. At 20 metres above sea level, and with buildings between the development and the sea, we check for each home what you can see from the terrace.
Homes and finishes
The homes are cooled and heated with an aerothermal system, an energy-efficient technology that uses heat from the outside air. Kitchens are fitted, there are built-in wardrobes and dressing rooms, and large windows onto the terraces. The energy rating is B. As completion approaches, we request the status of the licence of first occupation and schedule a handover inspection with the buyer. We look at the finish of the terraces, how the climate system works and whether the storage room and parking space match the deeds.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation fee, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance on signing the deeds. Every payment made before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Salvia through Imagine Privé.

Who is Salvia right for?
Salvia suits buyers who want to live in Spain without taking the car everywhere, and who prefer a real town centre with cafés and a market to a quiet urbanisation. Families with children at Laude are ideally placed here. If you are looking for sea views, lots of privacy or a small development, you will find less of that here: it is a large project in a lively area.
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 Salvia
When will Salvia in San Pedro be completed?
For the homes we offer, December 2026 is the planned date. Other sources mention Q1 2026 or Q1 2027, which is partly due to the project's two phases. We request the current schedule for each home.
How far is the beach from Salvia?
Playa de San Pedro is about 1,321 metres away, an 18-minute walk. By car it takes 2 minutes. On the way you pass the palm-lined promenade.
What does an apartment at Salvia cost including costs?
The three-bedroom apartment costs €945,000. The total with 10 percent VAT and all purchase costs comes to around €1,067,940. A parking space and storage room are included in the price.
Is San Pedro de Alcántara a good place to spend the winter?
Yes. Because San Pedro is a real residential town with shops within walking distance, it feels less deserted in winter than many urbanisations. December days here have around 9.7 hours of daylight, and that is when Salvia's heated indoor pool comes in handy.
Do I pay more if I buy in Salvia 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.
