Acqua Gardens, in context.

Acqua Gardens is a low-rise apartment community on Estepona's New Golden Mile, the coastal belt between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara, built for buyers who want walkable convenience without surrendering proximity to Puerto Banús and the golf valleys of Benahavís.

The scheme comprises 95 homes across six blocks, in two-, three- and four-bedroom configurations, with penthouses and ground-floor units that open onto private gardens. Interiors run to open-plan living, full-height glazing and fully fitted kitchens, with scope for bespoke updates such as a gas fireplace or a penthouse whirlpool. Communal grounds include landscaped gardens, a pool deck, a professionally equipped gym and a café-served work and meeting space.

The development is complete and largely sold. Of the 75 units tracked here, only one three-bedroom apartment of 118 m² remains, priced at €524,600.

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. Acqua Gardens currently sits in the Completed band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

This is not an off-plan play but a completed community in its closing phase. With 74 of the 75 tracked units sold, buyer risk on construction and delivery is removed, and the remaining three-bedroom apartment is available for immediate occupation or letting. At €524,600 for 118 m² the asking works out near €4,445/m², above the Cancelada resale median of €3,219/m² — the premium reflects new-build finish, communal amenity and a genuinely scarce last unit.

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 75 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.

Acqua Gardens is not priced against average Estepona 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 €4,446 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 €3,382/m².

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 Acqua Gardens a good investment compared to the local resale market?

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

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 Acqua Gardens 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 Acqua Gardens from Málaga airport?

Approximately 59 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, Acqua Gardens 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.
