Villa Amara, in context.

Villa Amara is a completed, single-residence new-build villa in El Herrojo, Benahavís — one of the most coveted hillside addresses on the western Costa del Sol — designed in its entirety by GC Studio, the architect and interior design practice whose work defines the upper register of contemporary Andalusian residential architecture.

The villa occupies a 3,631 m² elevated plot and delivers 958 m² of built space across eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The programme extends well beyond accommodation: a fully equipped home gym, a dedicated cinema room, and a spa with sauna and indoor pool sit alongside the outdoor pool, landscaped gardens, and al fresco kitchen with BBQ. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws Mediterranean light through every principal space, while the master suite connects directly to a private terrace with sea views.

With one residence, one owner, and immediate availability, Villa Amara represents a finished asset requiring no construction risk whatsoever.

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. Villa Amara currently sits in the Completed band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Villa Amara is not an off-plan proposition — it is a completed, ready-to-occupy residence. That distinction matters. At €9,980,000 the buyer acquires a finished, furnished-specification GC Studio villa with no phased payments, no construction timeline exposure, and no design uncertainty. In a market where comparable new-build commissions in Benahavís carry multi-year lead times, a completed single-villa asset of this calibre represents genuine scarcity. There is one unit; it is available now.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Completed 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.

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.

Villa Amara 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 €10,418 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 €669/m².

El Herrojo sits within the municipality of Benahavís, a hillside enclave that stretches from the foothills of the Serranía de Ronda down towards the coastline shared with Marbella and Estepona. The area is known for its density of private gated communities, low-density planning, and proximity to several of the region's most respected golf courses. The village of Benahavís itself — a short drive uphill — retains a quiet, whitewashed character with well-regarded restaurants and almost no tourist infrastructure. Puerto Banús and the Marbella Golden Mile are reachable within roughly fifteen to twenty minutes, placing international dining, marina life, and the full retail offer of Marbella within easy reach without imposing on the privacy of the hillside setting.

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 Villa Amara a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Villa Amara is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Benahavís 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 Villa Amara?

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 Villa Amara 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 Villa Amara from Málaga airport?

Approximately 52 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 Completed stage, Villa Amara 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.
