Celestia Homes, in context.

Celestia Homes is a boutique-scale apartment development in the western reaches of Estepona, set beside the quiet Arroyo Enmedio neighbourhood and within walking distance of the Arroyo Vaquero beaches. It is aimed at buyers who want proximity to the coast without the density of a resort complex.

The scheme comprises 29 one- to three-bedroom homes across two staggered buildings, with built areas from 51 to 157 m² and prices from €290,000 to €1.1 million. Every home faces the sea, and interiors use large-format porcelain floors and full-height windows to draw in light. Communal grounds centre on an outdoor pool, landscaped gardens and a gym.

The development holds its building licence, with completion scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028. Roughly half the homes remain available, giving early buyers a broader choice of orientation and floor level.

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. Celestia Homes currently sits in the With licence band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Celestia already holds its building licence, which removes a common pre-launch risk and gives buyers greater certainty on delivery for Q4 2028. With 14 of 29 homes still available, purchasers can still select orientation and floor level. Median resale pricing in Bahía Dorada sits near €3,490/m²; at these entry prices the scheme lets buyers stage payments through construction while committing to a new-build specification rather than the ageing local stock.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the With licence 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

14 of 29 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.

Celestia Homes 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 €5,686 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.

The setting favours easy daily living. A supermarket sits around 600 m away, with a Mercadona and pharmacy inside a two-minute drive, and local restaurants such as La Casona and SushiPanda a short walk on. The Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is three minutes by car.

Golfers are well placed, with the Albayt academy, Azata Golf and Estepona Golf all within four minutes.

The climate underpins it all: average highs of 22°C and, per local sources, more than 300 days of sunshine a year support an outdoor life across the seasons. Gibraltar airport is about an hour's drive; Málaga around 90 minutes to two hours.

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 Celestia Homes a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Celestia Homes 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 Celestia Homes?

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 Celestia Homes 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 Celestia Homes from Málaga airport?

Approximately 75 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 With licence stage, Celestia Homes 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.
