What to know about Marbella, Benahavís and Istán.
Marbella is one municipality, but not one price. The Golden Mile costs close to twice as much per square metre as San Pedro de Alcántara, inside the same town boundary. The name tells you little about what you will pay. Which part of Marbella is the question that matters.
The developments in Marbella itself are mostly on the east side, in Los Monteros and the hills above it, Altos de los Monteros. This is the side of the long beaches and the golf courses, with the centre of Marbella ten minutes away and the marina at Cabopino close by. It is quieter than the west side and usually cheaper per square metre than the Golden Mile. On the west side, San Pedro de Alcántara is a working town in its own right inside the Marbella boundary, and the cheapest part of the municipality per square metre.
The others are not in Marbella itself, but in two municipalities next to it. Benahavís is in the hills to the west, behind San Pedro de Alcántara. Istán is in the hills inland from Marbella. Each development below is marked with its own town.
With a new build in Marbella the question is rarely whether it is beautiful. It is whether the price is right. I set each development against what has recently sold nearby, and tell you straight when the name on the brochure costs more than the location is worth.
Ask me about any of them and I will send you the developer’s price list and floor plans, with my read on the location.
Averages are for all homes in 2026, resale and new, based on idealista market data. A new build adds 12 to 14% in taxes and fees on top of its price.
Buying new in Marbella, Benahavís and Istán
How many new developments are there in Marbella, Benahavís and Istán?
38 that I can show you, all on this page. Of those, 9 are finished and ready to move into, 22 are under construction and 7 are selling before building starts.
What does a new build cost in Marbella, Benahavís and Istán?
Starting prices run from €395,000 to €11,300,000, and the middle starting price is €870,000. On the developers’ current lists, the cheapest one-bedroom home is €638,700 at The Grove, the cheapest two-bedroom home is €395,000 at Fuente Lirios, the cheapest three-bedroom home is €473,000 at Armonía and the cheapest four-bedroom or larger home is €1,204,970 at Alcántara del Mar. These are the developers’ prices, before tax and the costs on top.
Which parts of Marbella, Benahavís and Istán have new developments?
Marbella (27), Benahavís (9) and Istán (2).
Are any ready to move into?
9 are finished: Be Aloha, Albatros XV, Altura 160, Quintessence, Santa Clara Homes, Los Porqueroles and 3 more. A finished home can be viewed as it is and bought without stage payments.
When will the others be finished?
Where the developers give a handover date, the earliest estimate is November 2026 and the latest the third quarter of 2029.
What tax do you pay on a new build?
A new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD) in place of the 7% transfer tax on a resale. On €870,000, the middle starting price here, that is €97,440. With the lawyer, the notary and the registry, plan for €104,400 to €121,800 on top of the price. The cost of buying has every line.
How do the payments work if you buy off-plan?
Buying before the keys means paying in stages while the building goes up. Buying off-plan in Spain covers how those payments are protected and the checks before you take the keys, and new build or resale sets the two side by side.
How far is Marbella, Benahavís and Istán from Málaga airport?
The developers give 40 to 55 minutes by car from Málaga airport, along the A-7.
