7 Diamonds is an exclusive collection of seven detached villas located in La Capellanía, Benalmádena. Positioned on a hillside, the project offers unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea and coastline due to its south-facing orientation. The villas are designed with open-concept living areas, featuring large glass fronts that integrate indoor and outdoor spaces. Completion is expected in Q4 2027. The location combines the tranquility of a residential neighborhood with proximity to the coastal towns of Benalmádena and Fuengirola.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is situated in La Capellanía, a residential area in Benalmádena known for its elevated position. The location offers a balance between privacy and accessibility. The surroundings are characterized by existing villas and greenery. Due to the elevation, the site benefits from panoramic views of the coast.
The villas are designed for residents requiring space and privacy. The layout includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms distributed across multiple floors connected by a lift. The living area is approximately 508 m², providing spacious living quarters. The plot size is around 764 m², allowing for private gardens and a swimming pool.
Construction is currently underway with an indicative completion date in Q4 2027. The development comprises seven villas built to a modern design. The construction includes a basement level for parking and additional living space. The project utilizes materials intended for durability and low maintenance in the Mediterranean climate.
Due to the hillside location of La Capellanía, access to the project involves a steep slope. This means pedestrian access can be challenging. The project is car-dependent; while amenities are within walking distance, the terrain necessitates the use of a vehicle for daily departures.
This project suits families or individuals looking to permanently settle on the Costa del Sol while avoiding the bustle of the tourist center, yet wanting amenities nearby. It also fits those seeking a second home with enough room to host family and friends, as the layout with multiple suites and extra basement space accommodates this well. The presence of an elevator and bedrooms on all levels makes the home future-proof for residents with reduced mobility. One must be aware of the slope and the necessity of owning a car.
The finish of the villas is characterized by a modern design where light intake is central. The brochure mentions an open-plan kitchen connected via sliding doors to the terraces. Facades and materials are chosen for their aesthetics in a Mediterranean setting, utilizing large glass expanses to bring the outdoors in. Technically, the home includes air conditioning and underfloor heating for year-round comfort. The infinity pools are designed as visual extensions of the terrace and sea. The basement finish allows for a cinema or gym, depending on buyer preference.
Prices for villas at 7 Diamonds start from €2,950,000. This price point places the project in the upper segment of the Benalmádena market. For this price, buyers acquire a detached home with four bedrooms, a swimming pool, and multiple living levels. Given the limited number of seven villas, supply is exclusive. Price variation is primarily determined by the specific position on the hill, affecting the degree of sea view.
Living in La Capellanía means residing in a 'residentialización', a neighborhood primarily composed of detached homes. The atmosphere is suburban; generally quiet with local traffic and more space between properties than in the center of Benalmádena. The daily rhythm is dictated by the distance to the sea; visits to the beach or marina always require a drive. The home serves as the central focal point, with much time spent on terraces and around private pools, enjoying the sun and wind position. Life here is focused on privacy and outdoor living rather than strolling through busy streets.
The surroundings of La Capellanía are residential and relatively quiet compared to the coastal strip. One is surrounded by other villas and gardens. Daily groceries can be found at local supermarkets within a short distance. The location offers quick access to the A-7 highway, limiting travel time to cities like Málaga and Marbella. The proximity to the airport (approx. 13 km) makes the location practical for frequent travelers. For social entertainment and extensive facilities, one relies on the surrounding coastal towns.

La Capellanía is strategically located on the Costa del Sol, precisely between the internationally known resorts of Torremolinos and Fuengirola. It serves as a quiet alternative to the busier tourist center of Benalmádena Costa. The location provides access to both the cultural facilities of Málaga city and the lifestyle amenities of Marbella, both reachable within 30 minutes. This makes it a central base for the entire region.
The project is located approximately 13 kilometers as the crow flies from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, which translates to a travel time of about 15 to 20 minutes by road. Playa de Torreblanca beach is situated at a distance of 1.6 kilometers as the crow flies; due to the hilly terrain, the driving distance is longer than in a straight line. The nearest supermarket is 815 meters away. Golf courses such as Golf Benalmadena Pitch& Putt are accessible within less than 4 kilometers. The coastal towns of Fuengirola and Benalmádena Pueblo can be reached within minutes by car. Public transport in the immediate vicinity is limited, making private transport essential.

Compared to projects like Villas Bellagio in the same region, 7 Diamonds offers a similar luxury level but with a distinctive modern design. While Bellagio often opts for a more classic Andalusian style, 7 Diamonds focuses on a sleek, contemporary architecture. Projects like Arosa in Mijas are located further inland, offering different views (mountains/nature instead of sea) and generally a lower entry price. Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola is an apartment complex and does not offer the privacy of a detached villa. The price of 7 Diamonds (from €2.95M) is higher than the average in Fuengirola, justified by the plot size (over 700m²) and its location in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Benalmádena.
