About Zinnia
Picking up bread, taking the children to school and then heading to the beach: at Zinnia you do it all on foot. Carrefour Express and Laude school are a 5-minute walk away, San Pedro beach 22 minutes. That makes this small new development in San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella's western district, especially appealing if you really want to live here rather than just holiday.
Zinnia has 19 homes with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms in a building with a lift. On top is a communal solarium with pool, and downstairs a gym with sauna. Every home has its own underground parking space and storage room, and the whole building has energy rating A. Our data also lists a jacuzzi among the facilities. Completion is scheduled for July 2027, so for now you are still buying off-plan.
Our overview includes four homes. The entry-level model is a 2-bedroom apartment with 90 m² built and a 17 m² terrace, for €592,200. Two 3-bedroom apartments with 150 m² built cost €632,100 and €723,800; the cheaper one is listed as ground floor but on the first floor, which we are checking. At the top is a 3-bedroom penthouse with a 151 m² terrace for €1,252,550.

Zinnia in figures
What stands out is the small price step between types. Going from 2 to 3 bedrooms takes you from €592,200 to €632,100, while you gain 60 m² of built area. That makes the 3-bedroom apartment the best value per m² in the development, at €4,214. Zinnia's median is €5,703 per m², 18% below the new-build median in Marbella (€6,948) and 4% below resale homes in Marbella (€5,967, idealista, September 2026). The entry-level apartment costs around €669,326 all in: €59,220 VAT, €7,106 stamp duty, €3,600 notary and €7,200 lawyer's fees. The terraces are small, with a median of 17% of the living area, except for the penthouse.

Location
San Pedro de Alcántara has its own village centre, a long beachfront promenade and its own rhythm, away from the bustle of Puerto Banús. Zinnia sits within San Pedro's urban fabric, at around 23 metres above sea level and about a kilometre from the sea. You live among ordinary Spanish streets with shops, schools and restaurants, with Marbella's mountains and the peak of La Concha as a backdrop. It is not a gated resort, but a neighbourhood that is alive all year round.
On foot: supermarket and school in 5 minutes, HC Marbella International hospital in 24 minutes, the beach in 22 minutes. By car you reach the beach or the hospital in 3 minutes, Puerto Banús in 5 minutes and Guadalmina golf in 6 minutes. Estepona is 20 minutes away, Málaga Airport 49 minutes.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:02 on 21 June and sets at 21:41, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Zinnia sits at around 23 metres above sea level.
Sea views are not confirmed for any home in our overview. According to the description, from the communal rooftop solarium you can see the Marbella coastline and La Concha; from the homes themselves, we check floor by floor.
Homes and finishes
The kitchen comes fully equipped, with an induction hob, multifunction oven, microwave, integrated fridge and dishwasher, and a concealed extractor hood. Air conditioning is ducted, and an aerothermal system provides hot water. The windows are double-glazed with good thermal and acoustic insulation, which matters in an urban neighbourhood. The front doors are reinforced. We check the sound insulation between floors, the maintenance and costs of the rooftop pool, and whether the floor areas match the plans.
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 Zinnia through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Zinnia
Strengths
- Beach, supermarket and school within walking distance, no car needed.
- Small-scale building with just 19 homes.
- Rooftop pool, gym and sauna within the building.
- Energy rating A and aerothermal energy for lower energy bills.
- Price per m² 18% below the new-build median in Marbella.
Points to consider
- Completion July 2027, whereas other new builds in Marbella are ready sooner on average.
- Small terraces of 15 to 22 m² in the apartments.
- No sea views confirmed from the homes, only from the roof.
- Uncertainty about the ground-floor apartment listed on the first floor; we are requesting the plans.
Who is Zinnia right for?
Zinnia is made for those who want to live in Marbella without needing the car for every errand: families with children at Laude school, winter residents and people working from Spain. The 3-bedroom apartment offers a lot of space for the price. If you want to live mainly outdoors on a large terrace, only the penthouse offers that; otherwise the communal roof is your outdoor space.

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 Zinnia
How far is Zinnia from the beach?
San Pedro beach is about a 22-minute walk or 3 minutes by car. The project description mentions a 10-minute walk; we stick to the measured route.
When will Zinnia be completed?
Completion is scheduled for July 2027. Until then you make stage payments. We check that every payment is covered by a bank guarantee or insurance, as the law requires.
Is San Pedro de Alcántara a good place to live?
If you want to live there all year round, definitely. San Pedro has schools, a hospital nearby, shops and a beachfront promenade, and feels less touristy than Puerto Banús, which is a 5-minute drive away.
What does the cheapest apartment at Zinnia cost all in?
The €592,200 2-bedroom apartment costs around €669,326 with VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer's fees, about 13% extra.
Do I pay more if I buy Zinnia 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 Zinnia, that adds up to around 13.0%.
