Marina Golden Bay, in context.

Marina Golden Bay is a 33-apartment building on the edge of Puerto Marina in Benalmádena Costa, around 200 metres from the water, built for buyers who want a coastal home that still works as a town. What remains are two and three-bedroom homes of 110 m² to 148 m², priced between €890,000 and €1,750,000. Thirty of the thirty-three have already gone.

The architecture takes its cue from a boat moored in the harbour. The façade undulates and that curve does real work: it turns each terrace outward towards the sea and catches the breeze coming off the bay. Interiors follow the same instinct.

Rooms open to the outside through large picture windows, so light arrives early and lingers and the masts, the port and the Mediterranean sit square in the frame rather than being glimpsed sideways. Finishes are specified to a high standard throughout.

Work began in the fourth quarter of 2024 and completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, which puts a buyer in the building for the spring season. With three apartments left, choice is now a matter of orientation and floor rather than layout. Anyone drawn to a front-row marina address in Benalmádena should treat the remaining selection as finite and act accordingly.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

The building is already out of the ground, with completion set for Q1 2027, so the usual pre-launch uncertainty has largely gone while staged payments still apply. Scarcity is the sharper point: three of thirty-three remain. On price, be clear-eyed. At roughly €8,000 to €11,800 per square metre these homes sit well above the area median of €3,424 per square metre and far above the €390,000 to €449,000 two and three-bedroom resales trading locally. That gap is the marina-front position, the terrace depth and the new-build specification. Judge it against front-line comparables, not the Benalmádena average and ask us for the full payment schedule before committing.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

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.

Scarcity and specification

3 of 33 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.

Marina Golden Bay 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 €8,091 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 €3,416/m².

This is a walking address rather than a driving one. A restaurant sits 155 metres from the door and another just beyond it, with a Carrefour Market at 249 metres and a gym closer still at 232 metres. Playa Malapesquera is 481 metres away, a broad stretch with full facilities and a summer programme of its own. Santa Ana is a kilometre on and La Carihuela, with its seafront chiringuitos, about 1.4 kilometres. Puerto Marina itself sits adjacent, so dinner, a drink by the water or an evening with visiting family requires no car at all.

For the rest of life, a racquet club is four minutes away, pitch and putt eight and two full courses within nine and fifteen minutes. Hospital Vithas Xanit International is an eight-minute drive. 9, putting Málaga and Fuengirola on the train line without traffic.

The airport is 18 minutes by road, which makes weekend use genuinely practical for northern European owners.

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 Marina Golden Bay a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Marina Golden Bay 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 Marina Golden 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 Marina Golden 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 Marina Golden Bay from Málaga airport?

Approximately 10 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, Marina Golden 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.
