About Soleil
Sea views for €540,000 in Marbella: with that entry price, Soleil is among the cheapest new builds per square metre in the municipality. The complex is going up on the hill of Altos de los Monteros, on the eastern side of town, and will have 80 homes. There are apartments with 2 or 3 bedrooms, ground-floor homes with a garden and penthouses with terrace and solarium. The flip side: you wait a long time, as completion is scheduled for April 2029.
We have five homes in our listings, all with sea views. The 2-bedroom ground-floor apartment costs €540,000 for 92 m² usable and a 21 m² terrace. On the first floor you pay €630,000 for 96 m² usable, but with a 49 m² terrace. With 3 bedrooms, prices range from €835,000 for a ground-floor home with 115 m² usable to €875,000 for an apartment with 116 m² usable. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom penthouse costs €900,000 and has a 52 m² terrace.
The communal areas are generous for a complex in this price bracket. There will be an outdoor pool and a heated indoor pool, a spa with Turkish bath, a gym, a coworking space and a social club. A large terrace with sea views is open to all residents. The complex is gated, with a lift, storage room and parking spaces: two for most homes, three for the penthouse.

Soleil in figures
Soleil stands at €4,691 per m², 32% below the median for new builds in Marbella (€6,948) and 21% below resale homes (€5,967). It is the third-cheapest development per m² of the 36 we track in the municipality. Note, though, that this price is based on the built area, which for these homes is well above the usable area. Outdoor space is not a strong point: a median of 28% of the indoor area, with terraces of up to 52 m². The third bedroom costs an extra €295,000. For the €540,000 entry-level home you pay €610,180 in total with VAT (€54,000), stamp duty (€6,480), notary (€3,200) and lawyer (€6,500).
| Price | € 540.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 54.000 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 6.480 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 3.200 |

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 36% of new developments in Marbella. Largest outdoor space: 52 m².
Planned completion April 2029. For half of the new developments in Marbella, completion is within 3 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 36 new developments in Marbella and the average asking price of resale homes according to Idealista (September 2026). Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Altos de los Monteros is a hillside neighbourhood above the coast between Marbella town centre and Río Real. Soleil is going up at around 126 metres above sea level, surrounded by nature with the sea in the distance. It is a quiet, residential area without a shopping street: you take the car for everything. The motorway is close by, which makes the drive to the centre, La Cañada shopping centre or the airport easy. Golfers have Río Real and other courses a short distance away.
In practice, you drive everywhere. Los Monteros beach is 15 minutes away by car. For groceries, Aldi is the nearest supermarket at 11 minutes. Río Real golf course and Hospital Costa del Sol are each 12 minutes away. Allow 17 minutes to Marbella's old town, 22 minutes to Puerto Banús and 48 minutes to Málaga airport. Colegio Alborán is 20 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. Soleil sits at around 126 metres above sea level.
All five homes in our listings are recorded with sea views, thanks to the location at around 126 metres above sea level. For the ground-floor homes, we check whether planting or the building in front limits the view.
Homes and finishes
Heating and cooling run on a central aerothermal installation: underfloor heating throughout the home, ducted air conditioning with a heat pump and hot water from the same source. The exterior joinery is high-performance PVC or lacquered aluminium with thermal break and double glazing. The bedrooms get motorised insulated roller shutters, with pre-installation in the living room. There is smartphone home automation, a security door and a kitchen with appliances. The energy rating is B. We request the specification and the bank guarantee and check the payment schedule through to 2029.
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 Soleil through Privé.

Who is Soleil right for?
Soleil suits buyers who want sea views in Marbella without the price of the coastal strip, and who are in no hurry. Think of someone who reserves now and combines the 2029 completion with a savings plan or the sale of a home back home. If you like a swim in winter, the indoor pool is a real plus. If you want to enjoy your home soon, are looking for a large terrace or want to walk to the sea, you are better off looking elsewhere.
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 Soleil
When will Soleil be completed?
Our data says April 2029. Another agent mentions the fourth quarter of 2028 and reports that construction has started. We ask for the current schedule and check whether your deposits up to completion are covered by a bank guarantee.
Do all homes at Soleil have sea views?
Sea views are listed for all five homes in our listings. The complex sits at around 126 metres above sea level. How wide the view is varies by floor and by building, so we check that unit by unit.
Is there new build under €600,000 with sea views in Marbella?
Yes, but not much. At Soleil, a 2-bedroom ground-floor apartment with sea views starts at €540,000. With taxes and costs, you arrive at around €610,180. It is one of the cheapest developments per m² in Marbella.
What communal facilities does Soleil have?
An outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a spa with Turkish bath, a gym, a coworking space, a social club and a large terrace with sea views for all residents.
Do I pay more if I buy Soleil 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 Soleil, that adds up to around 13.0%.
