Casares Bay, in context.

Casares Bay is a boutique apartment development of just nine residences positioned in Doña Julia, Casares Costa — the quieter stretch of the western Costa del Sol that sits between the established resort infrastructure of Estepona and the whitewashed hill village of Casares itself. Construction is under way, with completion scheduled for Q2 2027.

The scheme comprises two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 90 to 136 m², alongside duplexes and penthouse units with rooftop pools, all featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing and generous private terraces oriented towards the Mediterranean and the fairways of Doña Julia Golf Course directly adjacent. All homes include underground parking and a storage room. With four of nine units already sold, the development enters its second half with genuine scarcity on its side. Prices run from €487,000 to €595,000.

The off-plan discount curve

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. Casares Bay currently sits in the Under construction band.

Projected key-ready benchmark

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Construction has started and completion is fixed for Q2 2027, removing the uncertainty typical of early pre-launch commitments. The area median price per square metre currently sits at approximately €2,621 according to market data, while Casares Bay's entry price implies a rate broadly consistent with — and in some configurations above — that benchmark, reflecting the newbuild premium and boutique positioning. With only five units remaining from a total of nine, the window to select preferred typologies is narrowing. Comparable resale stock in Casares shows three-bedroom apartments trading at materially lower absolute prices, but without equivalent specification or completion certainty.

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

5 of 9 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.

Casares Bay is not priced against average Casares 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 €5,411 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 €2,456/m².

Doña Julia sits on the Costa del Sol's quieter western arc, where the density and noise of Marbella give way to golf courses, pine-backed coastline and a more unhurried pace. Playa de Casares and Playa de Manilva are reachable in roughly five minutes by car. The marina at La Duquesa — with its fish restaurants and mooring facilities — lies close by, as does the more rarefied environment of Sotogrande to the south-west. Finca Cortesín, one of Europe's most respected golf and hotel estates, is a short drive away. Gibraltar airport and Málaga airport both provide international access, making the location workable for those who split their time between countries. Supermarkets and pharmacies are within walking distance of the development. Prospective buyers should note that the adjacent A-7 corridor means some road noise is present — a candid trade-off for the convenience of the location.

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 Casares Bay a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Casares Bay is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Casares 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 Casares 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 Casares 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 Casares Bay from Málaga airport?

Approximately 79 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, Casares 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.
