Marae Residences
Project lifecycle
Marae Residences, in context.
Marae Residences is a small collection of two-storey contemporary villas set in Casablanca, a hilltop pocket of Torremuelle in Benalmádena. The development was completed in December 2022, and of its six homes here, five have already sold — leaving a single villa now available.
Each residence spans 276 m² with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, all en-suite on the upper floor. The design leans on walls of floor-to-ceiling glass that open fully, a discreet double-height staircase lit by a skylight, and porcelain flooring that runs uninterrupted through the interior. Every villa carries a private infinity pool and open views across the coast, the Mediterranean and the mountains behind.
Priced at €1,599,000, the remaining unit represents the last chance to acquire in a completed, largely sold-out scheme within walking distance of the beach and the Torremuelle train station.

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.
Marae is complete, so the usual off-plan uncertainties do not apply — the villa can be viewed, valued and occupied immediately. Scarcity is the story: five of six homes have sold, leaving one at €1,599,000. Against a Torremuelle median of roughly €3,530/m², a completed 276 m² villa with a private infinity pool, four en-suite bedrooms and full sea views commands a premium that reflects finish and position rather than speculation. For a buyer wanting certainty, this is the final entry point.
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.
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 €3,290/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Benalmádena
Torremuelle sits on the lower Benalmádena coast, where the terrain rises quickly from the shore. Playa de Arroyo Hondo lies around 1.2 km away, with Playa Las Viborillas and Benalnatura close behind. Restaurants such as La Cúpula and El Muro are within a minute's drive, and everyday needs are covered by Maskom, Mercadona and several pharmacies all under 1.2 km off.
The Torremuelle rail halt, 750 m from the door, connects along the coastal line towards Fuengirola and Málaga. Vithas Xanit International hospital is under three minutes away, and Málaga airport a 24-minute drive. With average highs of 20.8°C and winter lows near 14°C, the setting supports year-round outdoor living — the reason the infinity pools and retractable glass matter here.

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.

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.
