Quintessence Phase 1, in context.
Quintessence Phase 1 occupies a hillside position in Alto de Los Monteros, the wooded shelf above Marbella's eastern approach and was built for buyers who want resort infrastructure without the scale of a resort. Forty-eight apartments in all, of two and three bedrooms, each between 122 and 125 m² of built area. The plan pushes living space outward onto deep terraces, so the Mediterranean is present in the room rather than framed in a window.
The brief here was well-being rather than ornament. The homes are smart and energy efficient, finished with the logic of a modern hotel suite: quiet materials, good light and generous circulation, with leisure and well-being services shared across the community.
It is the kind of address where the day ends slowly on the terrace, watching the coast light up below.
Forty-six of the forty-eight homes have sold. Two remain, priced between €575,000 and €1,050,000, a range that opens close to the €4,731 per m² median Casafari records across Marbella and climbs with floor level and view. One honest caveat: bathroom counts are recorded inconsistently in the source data, so ask us to confirm the exact layout, orientation and terrace dimensions of each remaining apartment before you reserve.

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. Quintessence Phase 1 currently sits in the Completed band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions
Roccabox analyst view
This is not an off-plan gamble. Quintessence Phase 1 is built, delivered and lived in, so the two remaining apartments can be walked through, measured and occupied without waiting on a construction programme or a licence of first occupation. That matters in a market where the average Marbella listing sits 236 days before selling: here, 46 of 48 homes are gone and the tail end of a completed scheme rarely returns to the market at launch-phase pricing. Entry at €575,000 for around 122 m² lands close to the area median of €4,731 per m², for a finished home with sea views and shared well-being facilities. Two units means two chances and no second release behind them.
Reserving early
Why buyers reserve at this stage
01
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.
02
Scarcity and specification
2 of 48 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.
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.
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.
Quintessence Phase 1 is not priced against average Marbella 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 €4,713 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 €4,707/m².

Alto de Los Monteros
Living in Marbella
Alto de Los Monteros is a hillside enclave, quiet and green, with the working town close enough to be useful rather than intrusive. The nearest beach is a five minute drive, Playa de la Bajadilla seven and Marina Marbella six, which puts a morning swim, a boat and a late lunch within the same short stretch of road. Everyday life is equally compressed: Aldi in four minutes, Mercadona and Alcampo in six, pharmacies at five, a run of cafés and restaurants clustered around the same distance and Hospital Universitario Costa del Sol only 2.3 km away, with Quirónsalud six minutes on.
Golfers have a course eleven minutes from the door and Greenlife Golf Marbella twelve. Padel and tennis at Puente Romano sit fifteen minutes west along the coast road. Málaga airport is roughly 35 km away, which makes weekend arrivals genuinely easy.
The climate does much of the work. Average highs of 20.5°C and lows of 14.6°C across the year mean the terrace is a room you use in February as well as July and the hillside catches enough breeze to keep August evenings comfortable.

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 Quintessence Phase 1 a good investment compared to the local resale market?
Quintessence Phase 1 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 Quintessence Phase 1?
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 Quintessence Phase 1 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 Quintessence Phase 1 from Málaga airport?
Approximately 38 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, Quintessence Phase 1 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.
