Altura Residences
Project lifecycle
Altura Residences, in context.
Altura Residences is a five-villa gated enclave in La Quinta, the elevated pocket of Benahavís that has long attracted buyers who want Marbella proximity without Marbella density. Designed by GC Studio, each detached villa spans multiple levels with roughly 352 m² of internal space, five en-suite bedrooms, a master suite with private terrace, and 165 m² of terracing that opens onto private infinity pools and gardens.
The site rises across the plot: Residence 5, at the highest point, is positioned to take in views reaching the coastline towards Gibraltar. Prices run from €3,995,000 to €4,500,000, with one of the five already reserved. Ground floors are given to wellness — gyms, saunas and multipurpose rooms — beneath rooftop solariums. Construction is underway, with completion expected in Q4 2027, leaving time to influence finishes on the remaining homes.

The off-plan discount, stage by stage
Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. Altura Residences currently sits in the Off-plan band.
With only five villas and one already reserved, Altura offers limited supply rather than a phased release. Buying now, ahead of the Q4 2027 completion, secures one of four remaining homes and allows input on interior finishes while the build progresses. At €3,995,000 to €4,500,000, pricing sits at the upper end of the local five-bedroom market — comparable Benahavís resales range widely up to around €4,250,000 — reflecting the new build, elevated position and boutique scale.
Why buyers reserve at this stage
Personalisation window
Reserving during the Off-plan phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.
Scarcity and specification
4 of 5 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.
Risk-managed entry
Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.
The premium, contextualised
Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.
Altura Residences is not priced against average Benahavís resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €11,513 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €4,996/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Benahavís
La Quinta sits inland above the coast, trading beachfront immediacy for elevation and views. Golf defines daily life here: a driving range is two minutes away, with El Higueral and Magna Marbella Golf both within five.
The beaches of San Pedro lie around 5 km down the hill, roughly ten minutes by car, and Puerto Banús — with its marina, dining and boutiques — is about twelve. Everyday needs are close at hand: a pharmacy within two minutes, Mercadona and Dia around six, and HC Marbella International Hospital nine minutes away. Málaga airport is under an hour.
The microclimate is mild, with average highs of 21°C and lows of 14°C.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.
Typical off-plan payment schedule
Spanish new-build purchases are typically paid in three staged instalments, with every euro held under bank guarantee until completion.

Investment outlook
Three scenarios our analysts model on every Costa del Sol off-plan deal.
Residency planning for non-EU buyers
Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.
