Quintessence Phase 2, in context.

Quintessence Phase 2 is a collection of 48 three-bedroom apartments in Alto de Los Monteros, one of Marbella's most quietly coveted hillside enclaves, positioned five minutes from the town centre and designed for buyers who want Mediterranean panoramas without compromising on urban access. Construction is under way, with delivery scheduled for 2026.

The scheme is now in its final chapter: 43 of 48 residences have exchanged, leaving just five units available. Apartments range from 122 to 127 m² of built area and are priced between €1,150,000 and €1,350,000 — equating to roughly €9,100–€10,700 per m², a significant premium to the broader Marbella median of approximately €4,700 per m² (, 2024), which reflects both the Alto de Los Monteros address and the unobstructed sea-view aspect. Facades combine ivory render with natural stone; floor-to-ceiling glazing and large private terraces are designed to dissolve the boundary between interior and the surrounding pine and olive landscape. For the small number of buyers still able to acquire, the decision is effectively binary: act before handover or wait for resale stock at likely higher prices.

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. Quintessence Phase 2 currently sits in the Under construction band.

Roccabox analyst view

With 43 of 48 units already sold, Quintessence Phase 2 is not a speculative off-plan commitment — it is a near-complete development where buyers exchange into a proven scheme with a defined 2026 handover. The scarcity is real: five apartments remain, all three-bedroom, all with sea views. Buyers entering now lock in pre-completion pricing ahead of a delivery that is, by definition, imminent, while resale stock of comparable quality in Alto de Los Monteros commands the same price bracket without the benefit of new-build specification or warranty.

Reserving early

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

6 of 48 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.

Quintessence Phase 2 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 €6,667 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 €4,700/m².

Alto de Los Monteros occupies the hills immediately east of Marbella, where the Sierra Blanca foothills descend towards the Costa del Sol coastline. The elevation delivers uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean while keeping the noise and density of the resort below at arm's length. Marbella's beaches, golf courses, and restaurant circuit are reachable in under ten minutes by car. The climate is dependably mild year-round — average daily highs of 20.5 °C and lows of 14.7 °C across the past decade — making outdoor terrace living genuinely viable in every season. The surrounding landscape of pine woodland and wild scrub provides a degree of natural insulation from the summer heat, and the prevailing sea breeze reaches even the upper slopes of the neighbourhood.

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 2 a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Quintessence Phase 2 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 2?

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 2 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 2 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 Under construction stage, Quintessence Phase 2 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.
