About Santa Clara Homes
Frontline golf and yet a minute from the supermarket: in Marbella that is rarer than you might think. Santa Clara Homes is a gated complex on rolling hills on the eastern edge of town, between the golf course and the coast road. According to agents, it comprises 104 homes with three or four bedrooms, divided between ground floor homes with gardens and duplex penthouses. The development is finished: completion dates from August 2025 and the home we are offering is key-ready.
This home is a top-floor penthouse with three bedrooms and three bathrooms over 156 m². The 101 m² terrace is the real highlight: big enough for an outdoor dining table, sun loungers and the private pool that, according to the project data, comes with this home. Inside, the living room with open kitchen flows out onto that terrace, and large windows let daylight in all day long. The kitchen is delivered fully equipped.
The buildings are surrounded by spacious green areas beneath old pine trees. The complex has two large pools with solarium, a spa and a gym. Most homes have two parking spaces and a storage room. For a complex of this size the atmosphere remains green and open, because the buildings are set between the trees and the golf course.

Santa Clara Homes in figures
For €1,250,000 you get 156 m² here, or €8,013 per m². That is 15 percent above other new builds in Marbella and 34 percent above resale homes. Of the 36 developments in our comparison, 24 are cheaper per m². In return there is plenty of outdoor space: the terrace equals 65 percent of the living area, more than 92 percent of developments. On top of the price comes around 13 percent in VAT and purchase costs, about €1,412,600 in total. As the home has been finished since August 2025, you make no stage payments during construction. One agent mentions a payment of €9,000 on signing the private contract and the rest at the deed signing, so your capital is only released when you get the keys.

Location
Santa Clara Homes sits low, at around 30 metres above sea level, on the eastern edge of Marbella in the Los Monteros area. The complex borders the golf course and is a short distance from the coast road. You are closer to everyday life here than in the hills above: shops, the hospital and the town are all within a few minutes. Yet inside the gates it feels green and peaceful, thanks to the golf course and the old pine trees.
ALDI is 424 metres away, a 6-minute walk. Hospital Universitario Costa del Sol is 11 minutes on foot or 2 minutes by car. Playa de Los Monteros is a 5-minute drive, Marbella old town 9. Colegio Alborán is 11 minutes away, Puerto Banús 14 minutes. Málaga airport is around 40 minutes away.

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. Santa Clara Homes sits at around 30 metres above sea level.
According to the project data, this penthouse has sea views, and from the top floor you also look out over the golf course. The exact orientation of the terrace is not in the data; we check it on site.
Homes and finishes
According to one agent, the homes have large windows, an open-plan living area with kitchen and a kitchen with premium-brand appliances. The energy rating is B. Portals also mention a sauna and hot tub in the complex. As the penthouse has already been completed, we check together with you the operation and watertightness of the private pool, the terrace drainage, the climate control system and the first occupation licence. We also request the budget and recent minutes of the owners' association, because in a complex with 104 homes the community fees are an important factor.
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 Santa Clara Homes through Privé.

Who is Santa Clara Homes right for?
This penthouse suits golfers and couples who want a finished home with a big terrace, sea views and a private pool, but without the upkeep of a villa. If you like living close to a hospital, for example for longer stays in retirement, this is a strong argument too. If you are looking for a quiet, small complex or want to walk to the beach, you are better off looking elsewhere.
