Imagine, in context.

Imagine is a boutique collection of six remaining four-bedroom villas set in Bel Air, Cancelada, on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella — a corridor that has established itself as one of the most sought-after addresses on the Costa del Sol for buyers who want both seclusion and connectivity. Each villa sits on a flat, southwest-facing plot of between 985 and 1,172 m², with built areas of 581 to 590 m² arranged across a layout designed to move naturally between indoor and outdoor living.

The specification is deliberate and traceable: double-height living areas reaching nearly six metres, SANTOS kitchens fitted with MIELE appliances, walk-in wardrobes by UECKO, and a 155 m² basement that can be configured as a gym, spa, cinema or guest suite. A rooftop solarium with private pool crowns each villa, with a pool bar at garden level. Interior design direction comes from AALTO. One villa has already sold, leaving five available across a total of six — a genuinely small-batch release. The build licence is in place, and delivery is quoted at 18 months from purchase.

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. Imagine currently sits in the With licence band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With a build licence already in place, the principal planning risk has been removed. At €2,400,000–€2,840,000, entry pricing sits broadly in line with the Cancelada median — yet the specification, plot size and boutique scale of just six villas support a meaningful premium at resale. Comparable resale villas in this corridor are trading between €1,700,000 and €3,995,000, a wide spread that rewards quality. One sale from a six-unit release signals early demand; five remain. At 18 months to completion, the capital exposure window is relatively compressed.

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

4 of 6 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.

Imagine 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 €4,131 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 €2,920/m².

Bel Air sits at the midpoint of the New Golden Mile, placing residents within a few minutes of the coastline, several championship golf courses and a growing cluster of high-end hospitality. Los Flamingos Golf, El Paraíso Golf and the Racquet Club at Villa Padierna are all nearby, as is the Bel Air Tennis & Padel Club. The METT Hotel & Beach Resort and Anantara Villa Padierna Palace provide hotel-standard amenities without the need to travel far. International schools, medical services and daily retail are accessible without joining the Marbella–Estepona motorway corridor. The area holds particular appeal for families and golfers who want a quiet residential setting that remains credibly connected to both towns.

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 Imagine a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Imagine 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 Imagine?

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 Imagine 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 Imagine 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 With licence stage, Imagine 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.
