The Bay Collection, in context.

The Bay Collection occupies the highest ground within Reserva del Higuerón, a hillside enclave above Benalmádena where detached villas look south over the Bay of Fuengirola. This is the final tranche of a five-villa release aimed at buyers who want a house shaped to their own brief rather than a finished product.

Each home offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms across 504 m² of build on plots of 1,164 m², priced at €2,950,000. The two-storey design pushes the interior towards the view through large sliding glass panels, with an overflow pool set against the horizon. Specification is comprehensive: solar panels, underfloor heating, home automation, alarm and video intercom come as standard.

With four of the five villas already sold and a single plot remaining, this is a late-stage opportunity in an established, tightly held pocket of the Costa del Sol.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With four of five villas sold, the remaining plot is the last chance to buy new at this elevation in Reserva del Higuerón. Building to a 20-month timeline from purchase means the interior can still be tailored to the buyer's requirements rather than inherited. At €2,950,000 the villa sits within the range of comparable five-bedroom resales nearby, several of which have lingered on the market — but here delivered as a new-build with current specification and warranty.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Off-plan 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 5 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.

The Bay Collection 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 €5,853 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.

The setting is unusually well served for a hillside address. Sollo, a Michelin-starred restaurant, sits barely 200 metres away, while Playa de Torreblanca and the beach bars along the Carvajal seafront are within two minutes by car. Carvajal train station is under a kilometre off, putting Fuengirola and Málaga on the coastal rail line without a car.

Day-to-day needs are close: a pharmacy at 977 metres, ALDI at just over a kilometre, and Vithas Xanit International hospital within eight minutes. Fuengirola marina lies nine minutes south, golf at Benalmádena Pitch & Putt eight minutes up the coast. Málaga airport is 28 minutes by road. The climate holds average highs near 21°C, supporting outdoor living across most of the year.

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 The Bay Collection a good investment compared to the local resale market?

The Bay Collection 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 The Bay Collection?

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 The Bay Collection 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 The Bay Collection from Málaga airport?

Approximately 15 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 Off-plan stage, The Bay Collection 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.
