Soul Marbella Sunlife III, in context.

Soul Marbella Sunlife III is the third and latest phase of an established gated resort in the eastern reaches of Marbella, on the edge of the 18-hole Santa Clara golf course in the Río Real and Los Monteros area. It suits buyers who want a home they can lock and leave, with the services of a private club close at hand. The release comprises three- and four-bedroom apartments of 174 to 264 m² built, priced from €950,000 to €1.9 million.

The architecture does most of the work. The buildings step across two levels and face southwest, so terraces look over the fairways to the sea and hold the light late into the evening. Ground-floor homes open onto gardens with their own pool. Penthouses are crowned by a solarium and pool.

Indoors, the specification is quietly modern: porcelain stoneware floors, en-suite bedrooms, suspended sanitaryware and aerothermal underfloor heating supported by solar panels, which earns an A energy rating. Beyond the front door is a full resort programme.

Time is the main constraint. Of the 24 homes listed in this release, 19 are sold and five remain. Construction has started and one marketing source points to completion in 2028. We would confirm that date with the developer team before any reservation. Published sources also disagree on the overall size of the scheme, which is why we verify live inventory directly rather than relying on brochures.

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. Soul Marbella Sunlife III currently sits in the Under construction band.

Roccabox analyst view

Sunlife III is under construction and selling quickly. Phases one and two are close to sold out. In this release, 19 of the 24 homes are sold, leaving five. Buying at this stage still allows a choice of interior design environments and optional extras such as a barbecue, a pergola or a solarium with pool. These choices close once a home is finished. On price, the entry level of €950,000 for 174 m² sits above the Marbella median of €4,722 per m². That premium pays for a private pool, an A energy rating and full resort services. Completion is guided for 2028, which leaves time to plan the move.

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 by design

Only 24 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.

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.

Soul Marbella Sunlife III 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 €5,460 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.

Río Real - Los Monteros

Living in Marbella

Mornings here begin on the terrace, with the greens of Santa Clara's 18 holes running towards the Mediterranean and the mountains rising behind. Golf does not involve a drive. The course sits at the edge of the community, so an early round can be finished before the heat of the day.

Marbella's centre and some of the best beaches on the coast are around five minutes away by car.

The climate rewards outdoor living. Ten-year averages put daytime highs at 21.4°C and lows at 15.6°C, so the terraces, gardens and private pools see use through most of the year rather than a brief summer. International schools, healthcare, marinas and good restaurants are all a short drive away. That suits families who live here year-round as well as owners who fly in for long weekends.

Within the gates, the day can be as social or as private as you like. You might swim laps in the heated spa pool, train in the gym or spend a morning at a coworking desk. You might also take an hour in the Zerobody dry-flotation room before drinks at the bar.

Residency planning for non-EU buyers

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025.

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 Soul Marbella Sunlife III a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Soul Marbella Sunlife III 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 Soul Marbella Sunlife III?

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 Soul Marbella Sunlife III 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 Soul Marbella Sunlife III from Málaga airport?

Approximately 39 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, Soul Marbella Sunlife III 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.
