Madroñal Manresa
Project lifecycle
Madroñal Manresa, in context.
Madroñal Manresa is a single five-bedroom villa on a south-facing plot within El Madroñal, the gated hillside enclave above Benahavís that borders La Zagaleta and looks out over the Mediterranean. It is offered on an unusual basis: the buyer acts as master developer, taking control of design, budgeting, finishes and interiors, with staged payments released only after each construction phase completes.
The numbers frame the case. The villa is priced at €4,950,000 for 1,100 m² of build on a 2,656 m² plot, with a planning licence already secured. Construction runs from March 2025 to a stated completion of March 2027.
Marketing materials from associated agents put the finished value of a comparable villa between €10,000,000 and €11,500,000, and note competing developers start near €7,500,000. Those figures come from the sales narrative rather than independent valuation, and should be read as vendor guidance.

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. Madroñal Manresa currently sits in the With licence band.
This is a one-villa opportunity with the licence already granted, removing the permitting uncertainty that stalls many El Madroñal projects. Buying now lets you steer architecture, finishes and interiors before ground is broken toward the March 2027 completion, while the stage-by-stage payment structure ties outlay to verified progress. At €4,950,000 the entry price sits well under the €7,500,000-plus the vendor cites for finished comparables — a margin worth independent verification.
Why buyers reserve at this stage
Personalisation window
Reserving during the With licence 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
1 of 1 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.
Comparable villas in Benahavís have transacted at a recent median of €4,996 per built square metre. Madroñal Manresa, in its current With licence phase, is offered at €4,500 per built square metre, a spread driven by entry-stage pricing, specification and limited remaining supply.

What every unit receives
Living in Benahavís
El Madroñal sits in cork oak and pine woodland above the coast, private and quiet yet close to the practicalities of Marbella life. The La Zagaleta course and El Higueral Golf are within six minutes' drive, and a golf academy is barely two minutes away.
Puerto Banús and its marina are around 13 minutes down the hill, with San Pedro's beaches roughly 12 minutes off. Everyday needs are close: a pharmacy three minutes away, Mercadona and Dia supermarkets within eight, and HC Marbella International Hospital eleven minutes distant. Málaga airport is about 50 km, near 90 minutes by road.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.

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.
