Marine Hills Fase 1
Project lifecycle
Marine Hills Fase 1, in context.
Marine Hills occupies the rising ground of Selwo, on the western flank of Estepona, where the terrain lifts away from the shoreline and gives every home something to look at: the Mediterranean on one side, open countryside on the other. Phase 1 is the first of two independent stages and covers blocks 1 to 9.
It holds 119 homes: two and three bedroom apartments, penthouses and eight three bedroom semi-detached villas, from 125 m² to 326 m² of built area, with private plots reaching 547 m². Prices run from €639,000 to €1,638,000.
The shared amenities are deeper than the size of the scheme suggests. Three pools, one heated for use through the winter months, two jacuzzis, a spa, a gym, a padel court, a co-working room and a multipurpose space beside a children's play area set among fountains.
The gardens are planted with aromatic herbs, flowering shrubs and palms on automatic irrigation, lit and furnished throughout. Every residence includes a parking space and a storeroom.
Work began in January 2025 and handover is scheduled between September 2026 and September 2027, so the building is real rather than theoretical. What remains is the tail of the release, which means the choice is narrower but the delivery date is close enough to plan around.

Live data refreshed nightly from our multiple independent sources.
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. Marine Hills Fase 1 currently sits in the Under construction band.
This is not a launch. Ground was broken in January 2025 and only eighteen of the 119 Phase 1 homes remain, so the discovery discount has largely gone. What is left is a short, defined delivery window between September 2026 and September 2027 and the ability to pay in stages against a building already rising. On price, the entry apartment works out near €5,100 per m² against a Selwo resale median of €4,111, a premium that buys new construction, a spa, three pools and a warranty rather than a refurbishment budget. Local resale stock averages 208 days on the market. Phase 2 pricing has not been set and the completed Phase 1 will be the benchmark it is measured against.
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
18 of 119 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.
The premium, contextualised
Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.
Marine Hills Fase 1 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 €5,112 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 €3,422/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Estepona
Selwo is the quieter end of the Golden Triangle, close enough to Puerto Banús to use it and far enough away to escape it. The nearest sand is around two kilometres downhill, roughly four minutes by car, with the wider stretch of Playa de Guadalmansa a couple of minutes further. Golf is almost on the doorstep: El Coto de la Serena lies 1.6 km away, Flamingos Golf five minutes on and Tramores seven. Racket Club Villa Paderna adds courts six minutes from the gate for those who prefer padel to fairways.
Daily life is straightforward. Tikitano, Jolly Rogers and Paco Heidi are all within four minutes, Amarillo Coffee & Lounge handles the morning ritual and there is an Aldi and a commercial centre within six. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is two minutes away, which matters more than buyers expect.
Puerto Estepona and its restaurants sit seventeen minutes west, Puerto Banús about twenty-four minutes east.
The climate does the rest. Average highs of 22.2°C and lows of 15.6°C across the year mean the terrace works in February as well as July and the heated pool covers the difference.

Understand the full picture
Spanish purchases involve taxes and fees that catch first-time international buyers off-guard. We surface every figure that matters.
Typical off-plan payment schedule
Spanish new-build purchases are typically paid in three staged instalments, with every euro held under bank guarantee until completion.
Total cost of ownership
Spanish mortgage scenario
Indicative non-resident mortgage on the slider price above. Spanish banks typically lend 60–70% LTV to non-residents over 20–25 years.
Investment outlook
Three scenarios our analysts model on every Costa del Sol off-plan deal.
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.
