Alba Benalmadena represents a new residential development in Torremuelle, part of the Benalmádena municipality. The project focuses on contemporary living with an emphasis on outdoor space and sea views. Units include penthouses featuring three bedrooms and expansive terraces. Scheduled for completion in Q4 2026, the complex includes amenities such as communal swimming pools and landscaped gardens. The location provides direct access to the N-340 coastal highway and is within walking distance of local beaches and essential services.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The site is positioned in an urbanized setting at an elevation of approximately 288 meters above sea level. This elevation allows for panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline. The terrain is characterized by elevation changes, resulting in a steep access road to the property. The surrounding area is a mix of residential complexes and natural vegetation.
The penthouses cater to residents requiring substantial living space. With 158 m² of interior space and three bedrooms, the layout supports families or individuals needing a home office or guest rooms. The inclusion of two underground parking spaces and a storage room addresses practical storage needs, which is often a priority for those moving from larger properties or relocating permanently.
Currently under construction, the project is slated for handover in the fourth quarter of 2026. Purchasers should anticipate a waiting period before occupation. Buying off-plan allows for customization of finishes in some cases, adhering to the developer's specifications. The property is subject to new build warranties and tax regulations applicable in Spain.
The primary physical constraint is the steep access road leading to the development. This may impact accessibility for those with mobility issues. Being in an urban area, some level of ambient noise from the coastal road and neighboring developments is to be expected, despite the elevation.
This property suits buyers looking for a permanent residence with ample space or a high-capacity holiday home. The three-bedroom layout accommodates families or hosts multiple guests. Investors may find the location attractive for long-term rentals due to the proximity to international schools and transport links. The 2026 delivery date requires buyers to plan their relocation or investment timeline accordingly.
Marketing materials indicate 'high-end qualities.' This typically includes fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances. Technical specifications include hot/cold air conditioning and underfloor heating in bathrooms. Double glazing is standard, providing thermal and acoustic insulation. Specific details regarding materials (tiles, flooring) are outlined in the developer's brochure.
Prices for the penthouses start from €699,000. This starting price varies based on the specific unit's location within the complex and terrace size. The price point reflects the square footage (158 m²) and the views. Additional costs such as VAT (currently 10% for new builds) and legal fees are not included in this asking price.
Daily life at Alba Benalmadena is defined by the integration of indoor and outdoor living. The floor plans emphasize large sliding doors that open onto terraces, effectively extending the living area outdoors. The climate allows for use of these spaces throughout much of the year. Residents can access supermarkets and pharmacies on foot, reducing reliance on a car for daily errands. The proximity to the sea invites regular coastal walks, while the elevation ensures a breeze that cools the property during the hotter months. The neighborhood maintains a balanced atmosphere, functioning as a residential area that sees increased activity during tourist seasons.
The immediate environment offers practical amenities within walking distance. A supermarket is located 569 meters away. Beaches such as Playa de Arroyo Hondo are within a one-kilometer radius. The N-340 highway connects the area to Málaga Airport (11 km) and Marbella. Public transport is available via the nearby Torremuelle train station, offering access to the Cercanías network.
The map highlights the elevated position of Alba Benalmadena relative to the coastline. Distances to key amenities like the train station and beaches are visible. The proximity to the main AP-7 and N-340 road networks is indicated.
Benalmádena is centrally located on the Costa del Sol. Torremuelle offers a quieter, more residential setting compared to the bustling centers of Benalmádena Costa or Arroyo de la Miel, while still providing easy access to these areas via the coastal train line or highway.
The beach is accessible within a few minutes' drive or a 10-minute walk. Málaga Airport is the closest international hub at 11 km. Golf courses, including Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt, are less than 2 km away. For EV owners, the nearest charging station is 3.1 km from the site. A hospital is available at 1.4 km.
