Design Hills Marbella, in context.
Design Hills Marbella is Dolce & Gabbana's first branded residential project in Europe, set on the last major undeveloped plot on the Golden Mile — a site of nearly 90,000 square metres in the Lomas del Marbella Club district, where the upper Golden Mile rises towards the hills above Puerto Banús.
Delivered by the partnership behind the project in direct collaboration with the fashion house, the scheme comprises five buildings and, per the developer's figures, 92 large-format residences ranging from two-bedroom apartments to penthouses exceeding 1,500 square metres. Prices start from €5 million.
Construction is underway following final town hall approval in July 2025, with completion expected in the second half of 2028. As of August 2025, more than half the collection had reportedly been sold.

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. Design Hills Marbella currently sits in the Off-plan band.

Roccabox analyst view
This is a rare buy-in at a genuinely pioneering stage: one of only two Dolce & Gabbana residential communities worldwide, now under construction with completion targeted for the second half of 2028. Reported sales of more than 50% by August 2025 signal that the best positions are being taken early. Against a wider Marbella market averaging around €4,697 per square metre, this is a discrete ultra-prime tier where pricing reflects brand, scarcity and finish rather than local comparables.
Reserving early
Why buyers reserve at this stage
01
Personalisation window
Reserving during the Off-plan phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.
02
Scarcity by design
Only 94 residences across the entire scheme. The reservation list opens ahead of public launch — early registrants secure unit selection and pricing before the broader market is contacted.
03
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.

Golden Mile
Living in Marbella
The setting is Lomas del Marbella Club, the most established stretch of the Golden Mile, minutes from Marbella Club, Puente Romano, Puerto Banús and the historic old town. Sited on a gentle hill with elevation over the coast, residences are oriented for panoramic views across the Mediterranean and towards La Concha mountain.
The development consolidates a corridor of designer projects that already includes EPIC by Fendi and the Karl Lagerfeld Villas.
Amenities extend well beyond a conventional branded residence: infinity and heated indoor pools, a spa and wellness centre, gyms, yoga and meditation areas, golf simulators, an indoor football pitch, a private club with cinema and wine and cigar cellar, a Kids Club, and a commercial boulevard of restaurants and cafés.

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 Design Hills Marbella a good investment compared to the local resale market?
Design Hills Marbella is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Marbella 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 Design Hills Marbella?
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 Design Hills Marbella 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 Design Hills Marbella from Málaga airport?
Approximately 30 minutes by car.
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 Off-plan stage, Design Hills Marbella 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.
