Fuente Lirios is a boutique development of 28 new apartments located in the hills of Benahavís, Málaga. The project offers 2-bedroom residences priced between €400,000 and €890,000, with completion expected in Q2 2027. Situated at an elevation of 238 meters, the complex provides a countryside setting with views of the surrounding mountains. Residents have access to a communal rooftop pool, underground parking, and storage rooms, blending indoor comfort with outdoor living spaces.
Compared to coastal developments like Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (starting at €720k), Fuente Lirios offers better value per square meter but requires a commute to the beach. It is similar in pricing to Altura 160 in the same area but distinguishes itself with a rooftop pool facility and a slightly more secluded, rural aspect compared to village-centric projects.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is positioned in an inland, rural area approximately 7.2 kilometers from the coastline. This location offers a balance between the tranquility of the mountains and proximity to the Costa del Sol's amenities. The site is adjacent to prestigious golf courses like La Zagaleta, providing a green, spacious environment that is removed from the direct noise of the coastal tourist hubs yet remains accessible.
Designed for functionality and light, the apartments feature open-plan kitchens integrated with living areas, finished in natural oak and white melamine. Private terraces extend the living space outdoors. The inclusion of a lift and basement parking addresses practical needs for residents, ensuring ease of access and storage solutions which are essential for both permanent living and holiday use.
Currently under construction, Fuente Lirios is scheduled for delivery in Q2 2027. The project includes the installation of a rooftop infinity pool and landscaping that takes advantage of the sloping terrain. Technical installations include centralized air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, and photovoltaic systems for energy efficiency, aligning with modern building regulations.
The location is car-dependent. Daily amenities require a vehicle, with the nearest supermarket 4.2 km away. While the airport is 49 km distant, the rural setting implies reliance on private transport. The project consists of apartments, which means shared walls and community living, differing from the privacy of detached villas. Beach access requires a drive of approximately 15 minutes.
This project fits golf enthusiasts and outdoor lovers who prefer a slightly cooler inland climate over the heat of the coast. It is suitable for couples or small families looking for a modern, low-maintenance property near Marbella without paying premium frontline beach prices. It is also a viable option for investors targeting the long-term rental market or buyers seeking a holiday home with good rental potential due to the nearby golf facilities.
Interiors are finished with high-spec materials. Kitchens feature Silestone worktops and Bosch appliances. Bathrooms are equipped with suspended oak vanity units and Tres mixer taps. Flooring throughout the home consists of large-format (90x90cm) Saloni porcelain tiles in sand tones. Energy efficiency is addressed with LED lighting, aerothermal systems for hot water, and double-glazed STRUGAL windows with brown thermal break profiles.
Prices start at €400,000 and go up to €890,000, reflecting the size of the units and the specific location within the development. This price point positions the project competitively within the Benahavís area, offering new construction quality. The variation in price accounts for differences in square meters and views. Prices are exclusive of VAT and purchase fees.
Living at Fuente Lirios offers a retreat-like experience characterized by the scenery of the Benahavís mountains. Mornings are typically spent with coffee on the terrace overlooking the golf courses or hills. The pace of life is slower here; a trip to the beach or the marina at Puerto Banús is an excursion rather than a daily occurrence. The area is quiet, making it suitable for those who prioritize peace and nature over immediate beachside action.
The surrounding environment is dominated by golf courses and natural landscapes. Benahavís, known as the 'dining room' of the Costa del Sol, offers a concentration of restaurants just a few minutes away. The area is safe and residential. For broader amenities, including shopping malls and international schools, residents typically head to San Pedro de Alcántara or Marbella, which are easily accessible via the main road.
The map illustrates the inland position of Fuente Lirios relative to the AP-7 motorway and the coastline. It highlights the proximity to La Zagaleta and the distance to the Mediterranean Sea, emphasizing the rural yet connected nature of the location.
Fuente Lirios is situated in the 'Golden Triangle' between Marbella, Estepona, and Benahavís. This inland location offers privacy and lower density than the coast. It serves as a quiet base that is strategically close to the luxury hubs of Marbella and Puerto Banús (approx. 15 min drive), allowing residents to enjoy the best of both worlds: serene mountain living and vibrant coastal nightlife.
A car is essential. The nearest pharmacy is within walking distance (195 m), but for groceries, one must travel 4.2 km. Beaches (Playa del Saladillo) are 7.2 km away. International schooling is available within a 6 to 9 km radius (The International School of Estepona, British International School). Malaga Airport is a 49 km drive, typically taking 40-50 minutes by car.
