About The View Marbella
The View Marbella is being built in phases, and for a buyer that is an advantage. The first homes are finished, there is a show home, and the shared facilities are already up and running. So you can see and feel what living here is like before you decide. The residence lies in Las Colinas de Marbella, at around 218 metres on the hills above La Quinta, with views of the sea and of the El Madroñal mountains.
The range runs from a 2-bedroom apartment with a 38 m² terrace to a 4-bedroom penthouse with 263 m² of outdoor space and a private pool. In between are the ground-floor homes with gardens. The most striking is the 3-bedroom one: 178 m² inside, a 165 m² terrace, a 187 m² garden and a private pool. At the same price you will find a first-floor apartment with the same interior area, but without a garden and with an 88 m² terrace.
The facilities are more extensive than in most residences in the municipality. The spa has a heated 25-metre indoor pool, a sauna and a jacuzzi. There is a 150 m² gym, saltwater outdoor pools, a yoga area, an outdoor fitness area and a playground. For those who work from home there is a business centre, and the sports lounge has a golf and football simulator.

The View Marbella in figures
With a median of €8,702 per m², The View Marbella is about 11 per cent more expensive than the median for new builds in Benahavís and 55 per cent more than resale homes. So you are paying for the facilities and the views. The price step per bedroom is steep: €949,000 for two bedrooms, €1,549,000 for three and €2,590,000 for four, on average about €820,000 per extra room. On the other hand there is plenty of outdoor space: a median of 59 per cent of the built area, better than most projects in the municipality. With VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer, the entry-level apartment costs about €1,072,488, around 13 per cent on top of the asking price.

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 83% of new developments in Benahavís. Largest outdoor space: 263 m².
Planned completion July 2027. Half of all new builds in Benahavís complete within 4 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current listings of 12 new developments in Benahavís 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
Las Colinas de Marbella lies in the eastern part of Benahavís, on the hills between La Quinta and El Madroñal. The area is green and residential, surrounded by golf courses and villa neighbourhoods. You are higher than the coast, which gives you views, but you do depend on the car. The residence's own gardens are planted with more than fifteen tree species, including olive trees, and some twenty kinds of flowers.
La Quinta Golf is a 3-minute drive or a 20-minute walk. The nearest supermarket is 8 minutes away, San Pedro centre 9 minutes. HC Marbella International Hospital is 10 minutes away, Puerto Banús and the beach 12 to 13 minutes. You can reach Benahavís village and its restaurants in 15 minutes, Málaga airport in 55 minutes.
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 7.02am on 21 June and sets at 9.41pm, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December that falls to 9.7 hours, with the midday sun 30° above the horizon. The View Marbella sits at around 218 metres above sea level.
According to the project data, every home on offer has sea views, with the El Madroñal mountains on the other side. Which floor and which block has the most open view is something we check for each home on site.
Homes and finishes
The homes come with large-format tiles, energy-efficient windows, air conditioning and underfloor heating throughout the apartment, with electric underfloor heating in the bathrooms. A home automation system controls lighting and climate. The energy rating is B. Because there is a show home and finished homes, we can check the finishes on site together with the buyer. For homes in the new phase we compare the technical specification with what you see in the show home, and we ask for the community fees, because a spa and indoor pool of this size have an impact.
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 on completion at the notary. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for The View Marbella through Privé.

Who is The View Marbella right for?
The View Marbella suits buyers who want an apartment with the facilities of a resort: swimming in winter, a gym and spa on site, a place to work. It is also interesting if you want to move quickly into a key-ready home. If you are looking for a small-scale residence with low monthly costs, or want to walk to shops and the beach, this project is less suitable.
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 The View Marbella
Are there key-ready homes at The View Marbella?
Yes. Some of the homes are key-ready, and there is a show home. Other homes belong to a new phase with planned completion on 1 July 2027. We check which homes are finished at the time of your enquiry.
What does a ground-floor apartment at The View Marbella cost?
In our listings a 2-bedroom ground-floor home with garden costs €1,295,000. The 3-bedroom version with a 187 m² garden and private pool costs €1,549,000. Prices may differ per phase.
Can residents of all phases use the health club?
According to an agent selling the project, residents of the later phases get access to the first phase's health club, with spa, gym and pools. We ask for this in writing with the sales documents.
What is the nicest area to live around Marbella?
That depends on your lifestyle. If you want peace and quiet, golf and views, you will often choose the hills of Benahavís, such as Las Colinas and La Quinta. If you want to do everything on foot, look rather at central Marbella or San Pedro.
Do I pay more if I buy The View Marbella 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, on a new build you pay 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in The View Marbella, that adds up to around 13.0%.
