About Stella 8
Eight homes, no more. Stella 8 is a boutique building in Nueva Torrequebrada, the residential part of Benalmádena Costa between the coast road and the golf course. You share the building with seven neighbours at most, something you rarely find on this stretch full of large complexes. Our data still lists two homes, both with 3 bedrooms and sea views: a first-floor apartment for €680,000 and a second-floor duplex penthouse for €810,000.
The apartment has 130 m² built, 121 m² usable, 2 bathrooms and a 27 m² terrace. The duplex penthouse is slightly larger at 138 m² built and 123 m² usable, has 3 bathrooms and, above all, a 78 m² terrace. The ratio of built to usable area is favourable here: you pay little for corridors and communal areas. You can have a jacuzzi installed on the terraces as an option.
Every home has a parking space and a storage room in the basement, with direct lift access to the building. Kitchens are delivered fully fitted and equipped, and hot and cold air conditioning is installed as standard. The building is gated and has energy rating B. There is no communal pool, but with the beach within walking distance many buyers will not miss it.

Location
Nueva Torrequebrada lies in the western part of Benalmádena Costa, towards Fuengirola. It is a quiet, established residential area of apartment buildings and villas, at around 39 metres above sea level, just above the coast. Below runs the coast road with its beach bars and restaurants; above lies the Torrequebrada golf course. Nearby you will find restaurants, supermarkets, schools and health centres, and the commuter train station is in the area. That means you can lead a normal life here even without a car.
You notice the difference straight away: Las Viborillas beach is a 5-minute walk and the Mercadona 4 minutes on foot. Torrequebrada Golf is a 4-minute drive. Vithas Xanit International hospital is an 8-minute drive, as is Benalmádena marina. Málaga airport is a 27-minute drive and Fuengirola centre 17 minutes. Kings English school is 11 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 7:00 on 21 June and sets at 21:39, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Stella 8 sits at around 39 metres above sea level.
According to our data, both available homes have sea views. The duplex penthouse on the second floor naturally has the widest view; the exact orientation is not in the listing and we check it on site.
Homes and finishes
According to the listing, the homes come with a fully fitted and equipped kitchen and an installed hot and cold air conditioning system. Another agent mentions porcelain floors, large windows and a kitchen with induction hob, oven, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and extractor hood. The energy rating is B. We check that this list is in the building specification and the contract, request the bank guarantee and look at what a jacuzzi on the terrace costs and what it means for load-bearing capacity and community fees.
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 Stella 8 through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Stella 8
Strengths
- Only 8 homes in the building, so it is quiet with few neighbours.
- Beach a 5-minute walk away and supermarket 4 minutes on foot.
- Generous usable area: 121 to 123 m² for 3 bedrooms.
- Duplex penthouse with a 78 m² terrace, 3 bathrooms and sea views.
- Kitchen and air conditioning are delivered fully installed.
- Torrequebrada golf course a 4-minute drive away.
Points to consider
- No communal pool or other shared facilities in our data.
- At €5,550 per m², 13% more expensive than the new-build median in Benalmádena.
- Only two homes left, both with 3 bedrooms.
- At 27 m², the first-floor apartment's terrace is on the modest side.
- Sources differ on parking spaces and completion date; have this set out in the contract.
Who is Stella 8 right for?
Stella 8 is made for those who want to walk to the beach and have no wish to live in a large resort with hundreds of neighbours. Think of a couple or family spending long periods in Benalmádena who value indoor space. Golfers are well placed too. Less suitable if you expect a pool and wellness facilities in the complex, or if you buy strictly on price per m².
