Marae Residences, in context.

Marae Residences is a completed collection of twenty four-bedroom villas set within the Casablanca neighbourhood of Torremuelle, on Benalmádena's elevated hillside above the Costa del Sol. Delivered in December 2022, the development was conceived by the partnership behind the project as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional pueblo blanco — white volumes, bold geometric lines and floor-to-ceiling glazing that dissolve the boundary between interior and the Mediterranean another Costa del Sol agency beyond.

Homes span between 210 and 276 m² across two storeys, with four en-suite bedrooms, open-plan living anchored by a fire pit, and two villa typologies offering either a ground-floor or upper-floor arrangement of living and terrace — each with a private infinity pool. Of the six units brought to market, four have sold; two remain. Pricing runs from €1,850,000 to €2,100,000, at a point where the broader Torremuelle market trades at a median of approximately €3,569 per m².

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. Marae Residences currently sits in the Completed band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Marae is not off-plan — it is finished, titled, and ready to occupy. That distinction matters: buyers avoid both construction risk and the wait. With only two villas remaining from a six-unit release, scarcity is a present reality rather than a sales device. At €1,850,000–€2,100,000 for 210–276 m² of completed, contemporary villa on an elevated Benalmádena hillside, the price-per-square-metre compares favourably against the current Torremuelle average of approximately €3,569 per m² recorded across the broader resale market.

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 6 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.

Marae Residences is not priced against average Benalmádena 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 €5,793 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 €3,294/m².

Torremuelle

Torremuelle occupies a hillside position within Benalmádena, a municipality that balances genuine residential life with one of the Costa del Sol's more varied coastlines. The Casablanca neighbourhood sits elevated enough to command uninterrupted sea and mountain views whilst remaining within practical distance of the beaches below. Benalmádena itself offers a working marina, a broad sandy seafront, a well-regarded cable car rising to the Sierra de Mijas, and transport links — including a commuter rail line — connecting quickly westward to Málaga and eastward toward Fuengirola. The climate is reliably mild year-round, with long summers tempered on the hillside by Atlantic breezes, making outdoor living on the terrace and infinity pool a genuinely extended-season proposition rather than a seasonal one.

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 Marae Residences a good investment compared to the local resale market?

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

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 Marae Residences 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 Marae Residences from Málaga airport?

Approximately 12 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, Marae Residences 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.
