El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay, in context.

Villa Forest Bay is one of only four houses in the second and final phase of El Bosque, a small gated address within La Reserva del Alcuzcuz in the hills behind Benahavis. Its neighbours are La Zagaleta and El Madroñal, which tells you most of what you need to know about the setting: pine-covered slopes, private roads and very few front doors. It is a house for a buyer who wants the seclusion of the upper hills without giving up the coast, the golf or the international schools below.

The villa runs over three levels, with a total built area of 1,399 m² on a plot of 3,082 m². Of the four houses in this phase it has the most generous outdoor space, some 400 m² of terrace and a slight southwest orientation that carries daylight through the house and delivers the sunset over the water.

Panoramic glazing frames the Mediterranean, the hills behind and, on a clear day, the African coastline, with Gibraltar visible from both the ground and first floors. A double-height open-plan living space sits at the centre, flowing into a minimalist kitchen with a central island.

Guide price is €9,100,000, turnkey, with completion scheduled for Q1 2026. One note of caution: listing feeds record the built area variously as 1,399 m² and 999 m², so confirm the measured schedule before you commit.

The off-plan discount curve

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. El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay currently sits in the Under construction band.

Roccabox analyst view

This is a late-stage build rather than a drawing, with completion pencilled for Q1 2026 and the villa delivered turnkey, so the usual off-plan execution risk is much reduced. Scarcity is genuine: four houses in the final phase and once they are gone La Reserva del Alcuzcuz has nothing comparable left to release. On value, €9.1m equates to roughly €6,500 per m² of built area, a clear premium to the broad Costa del Sol median of €3,326 but consistent with the top of the Benahavis hills, where six-bedroom resales in neighbouring La Zagaleta are asking around €7m for older stock. Resale here is patient money, with local listings averaging 285 days.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

01

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.

02

Scarcity by design

Only 4 residences across the entire scheme. The reservation list opens ahead of public launch — early registrants secure unit selection and pricing before the broader market is contacted.

03

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.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay is not priced against average Benahavis 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 €9,109 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 €3,326/m².

Living in Benahavis

Life here begins quietly. The road up from the coast climbs through cork oak and pine and by the time you reach the gate the noise of the Golden Mile has gone entirely. Mornings are for the terrace, coffee in hand, watching the mist lift off the hills before the sea comes into focus. The ten-year averages tell the story of why people move here at all: highs around 20.9°C, lows near 14.4°C, which means the 400 m² of terrace and the heated pool are usable far beyond the summer months.

The beaches and their promenades are roughly seven minutes down the hill, close enough for a swim before lunch or a long evening at one of the chiringuitos on the sand. Golf is immediate rather than aspirational, with Los Arqueros Golf and Country Club among the courses on the doorstep and several more within a short drive.

For daily needs the village of La Heredia sits nearby with its shops, cafés and services, while Benahavis itself remains the area's reliable dining draw.

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.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay a good investment compared to the local resale market?
El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Benahavis on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.
What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?
Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.
Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay?
Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.
Does buying at El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay qualify for Spanish residency?
Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.
How far is El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay from Málaga airport?
Approximately 56 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.
What is included in the purchase price?
Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.
Can I personalise the property?
At the Under construction stage, El Bosque | Villa Forest Bay buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
