Proa
Project lifecycle
Proa, in context.
Proa is a scheme of semi-detached houses on the eastern Costa del Sol, built into a natural balcony above the coast at Castillo de Lagos, in the municipality of Vélez-Málaga. It is aimed at buyers who want a sea-facing house with its own plot rather than an apartment, at a price point below Marbella's coastal equivalents.
Homes run to three and four bedrooms, with 111–133 m² of interior space on plots of 197–297 m², priced from €435,000 to €635,000. Layouts follow the topography and face southeast, south and southwest, each with surface parking and terraces that on some units exceed 100 m². The development carries an A energy rating and the developer's own sustainable building standard, with aerothermal hot water and ducted climate control.
One caveat: the developer's marketing describes a total of 45 houses, while the release data available to us covers 27 units, 16 of them already sold. Construction is under way, with completion scheduled for Q3 2028.

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. Proa currently sits in the Under construction band.
With 16 of the 27 released houses already sold and completion set for Q3 2028, the remaining eleven represent the last choice of plot size, terrace and orientation. Buying now fixes the price and spreads payments across three years of construction. Vélez-Málaga resale stock currently averages €1,364/m² and sells in a slow 209 days, so Proa asks a clear new-build premium — the case rests on the A energy rating, the private plot and sea views, none of which the local resale market reliably offers.
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
11 of 27 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.
Proa is not priced against average Vélez-Málaga 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 €3,919 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 €1,364/m².

What every unit receives
Living in Vélez-Málaga
This is the Axarquía rather than the Golden Mile: a working stretch of coast where fishing villages have absorbed a long-established international community.
Playa del Morche is 217 m from the site, and the village itself supplies the daily essentials — Pitufo's Costa Taperia and Café Bar Axarquía sit within 100 m, a pharmacy at 199 m, and a Mercadona five minutes by car.
Torrox and Torre del Mar are around 15 minutes away, the marina at Caleta de Vélez 13 minutes, and Hospital Comarcal de La Axarquía 17 minutes. Málaga airport lies roughly 45 km west, reached via direct access to the A-7.

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.
