A three-bedroom garden apartment of approximately 180 m² is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,250,000 in El Paraiso, within a gated resort in the municipality of Benahavís, between Marbella and Estepona. The unit forms part of a small development of 24 residences on a 15-hectare enclosed estate, currently under construction with indicative delivery in the first quarter of 2027. The home includes a private garden and pool, a semi-covered terrace of 125 m², two underground parking spaces with electric charging points, and a storage room. Golf courses, beaches and San Pedro de Alcántara all lie within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in El Paraiso, in the municipality of Benahavís, in the area between Marbella and Estepona. El Campanario Golf Course lies 0.3 km away as the crow flies, El Paraíso Golf Club 1.0 km, and Playa Isdabe beach 1.3 km. San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús are a few minutes' drive away. Marbella is 14 km straight-line from the area.
The layout provides 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a guest toilet across roughly 155 m² of usable living space. Two additional windowless rooms, both air-conditioned, can serve as an office, gym, dressing or cinema room. A 51 m² multifunctional living and dining area incorporates the kitchen and utility room. Outside are a 125 m² semi-covered terrace and a private garden with pool.
The residence is under construction within a completed-plan development of 24 units on a fenced 15-hectare estate. Delivery is indicatively planned for the first quarter of 2027, meaning the buyer purchases off-plan based on renders and the show apartment. The stated completion date is indicative and may shift with the construction schedule.
The apartment has limited sea view compared with other units in the development. The two additional rooms have no windows. The plot area of the private garden is 34 m², modest relative to the terrace and living space. The property is sold unfurnished. A car is needed for daily errands, as the estate is set within a residential urbanisation rather than a town centre.
This residence fits buyers seeking space and privacy in a secure resort environment on the Costa del Sol, with delivery timed for early 2027. It suits households that want a single-level home with a private garden and pool but prefer the services of a gated complex, gym, communal pool, clubhouse and permanent security, over full villa maintenance. The two additional air-conditioned rooms make the layout workable for families needing a study and a playroom, or for owners who regularly host guests. Buyers planning part-time residence will value the security and the lock-and-leave character of an apartment within a monitored estate. Golf players benefit from two courses within about a kilometre as the crow flies. Families with school-age children may note the international school 0.8 km away. The residence is less suitable for buyers who want direct sea views, this unit has less sea view than others in the development, or for those seeking walkable urban life; daily life here is car-based. Buyers wanting windows in every room should note the two extra rooms are internal. As an off-plan purchase with delivery in the first quarter of 2027, it also requires comfort with a construction timeline rather than immediate occupation, and the completion date is indicative.
The specification is consistent with the upper segment of the Costa del Sol new-build market. The kitchen is fully fitted with Siemens appliances and integrated into the 51 m² multifunctional living and dining area, together with a utility room and guest toilet. Sanitaryware and fittings are by Villeroy & Boch and Hansgrohe. Climate control operates on two systems: air conditioning for cooling and heating, and underfloor heating throughout. A home automation system manages these functions centrally. Both additional rooms are fully air-conditioned, allowing year-round use as office, gym, dressing or cinema space. Fitted wardrobes are included, and there is an ensuite bathroom in the main bedroom. Storage is provided by a dedicated room of approximately 10 m² in the basement, alongside two underground parking spaces equipped with charging points for electric vehicles. The apartment is delivered unfurnished. The development itself comprises only 24 units with one apartment per floor and no direct neighbours on either side, a structural choice that reduces shared-wall noise. Communal facilities include a gym described as state-of-the-art, a 25-metre swimming pool and 5,000 m² of landscaped gardens within a fully fenced 15-hectare estate with permanent security. Buyers should note that images shown are renders and photographs of the original show apartment; the unit for sale is larger but has less sea view, so an on-site or plan-based verification of the exact finish and orientation is advisable before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €1,250,000 for this single resale unit within an otherwise sold-out development. The price reflects the specific characteristics of this residence: 180 m² built, 155 m² usable, a 125 m² terrace, private garden and pool, two underground parking spaces with charging points, and a storage room of about 10 m². As a resale in an under-construction complex, the buyer acquires a specific unit rather than a choice from a price list. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start lower, Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600, Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000 and Alba Benalmadena from €648,000, though these differ in type, size and location. Delivery is indicatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
Daily life here revolves around a resort-style setting: a single apartment per floor with no direct neighbours on either side, a raised ground-floor position opening onto a private garden with its own pool, and a 125 m² semi-covered terrace oriented east, which means morning sun and shade later in the day. The 51 m² multifunctional living and dining space is designed as the centre of the home, with the kitchen, utility room and guest toilet integrated into it. The two extra windowless rooms, both air-conditioned, add flexibility that a standard three-bedroom layout does not offer, a study, a gym, a cinema room or guest space, each fully usable year-round thanks to heating and cooling. Within the estate, facilities include a gym, a 25-metre communal pool and roughly 5,000 m² of landscaped communal gardens, with permanent security at the gate and a private clubhouse. Beyond the gates, the surrounding urbanisation is quiet and residential. The nearest golf course is 0.3 km away as the crow flies, the international school of Estepona 0.8 km, and the beach 1.3 km, all practical by car within minutes. Days follow a car-based rhythm: shopping trips, rounds of golf at El Paraíso or El Campanario, and beach visits at Playa Isdabe, Salduna or Playa Atalaya. With 31 restaurants and 6 cafés within 2 km, evening dining out is a short drive rather than a walk. The setting suits residents who value privacy and space within the estate while accepting that the immediate surroundings are suburban rather than urban.
The urbanisation of El Paraiso sits on flat coastal terrain at roughly 25 metres above sea level, with a gradient to the beach of about 1.4 per cent, meaning no steep walks or stairways between the home and the coast. Within 2 km there are 31 restaurants, 6 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 banks, a dentist and a school, which covers daily needs without leaving the immediate area. The nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km. El Campanario Golf Course is 0.3 km away, El Paraíso Golf Club 1.0 km and its clubhouse 1.1 km. For sports beyond golf, the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club is 0.9 km away. Public transport in the area consists of 6 lines serving 50 stops, enough for occasional trips, though a car remains the practical mode for daily life. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Supercharger at Estepona, 3.8 km away, or the Marbella Supercharger at 9.5 km. The atmosphere outside the summer season stays residential and quiet, with tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds, concentrated along the coast rather than in the urbanisation itself. Marbella, 14 km straight-line away, and Estepona to the west frame the area between them, with San Pedro de Alcántara a few minutes' drive for everyday shopping and services.
The map shows the estate in relation to its immediate setting: two golf courses within about a kilometre as the crow flies, beaches at 1.3 to 1.7 km, and the corridor between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. Marbella lies 14 km east and Puerto Banús 6.6 km along the coast. All distances shown are straight-line; road distances are longer.

El Paraiso occupies a position in the so-called Golden Triangle between Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona, the western Costa del Sol's established belt of golf urbanisations. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, lies 14 km to the east; Estepona borders the area to the west; and Benahavís village sits inland. The location is closer to Estepona's amenities than to central Marbella, while Puerto Banús at 6.6 km provides the nearest marina and commercial hub. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the area sits on flat coastal land, which distinguishes it from the hillside urbanisations further east towards Benalmádena and Mijas.
Beaches are within 1.3 to 1.7 km as the crow flies, reachable by car in roughly 5 to 10 minutes. San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús, the latter 6.6 km from the area by straight line, at the Puerto Deportivo José Banus marina, are a 5 to 10 minute drive. Marbella lies 14 km straight-line away, Estepona is the nearest town to the west. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at approximately 46 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 52 km straight-line, with actual road distances and drive times longer. Alicante-Elche airport, at roughly 443 km, is not a practical option. An international school, The International School of Estepona, is 0.8 km away. Healthcare is covered by 2 health centres in the wider area, and education by 19 primary and 10 secondary schools. A car is necessary for most journeys; the estate's two underground parking spaces with charging points support this. Public transport exists, 6 lines, 50 stops, but serves the corridor rather than door-to-door convenience.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about 5 months, running roughly from late spring into early autumn. The elevation of 25 metres and the 1.4 per cent gradient to the beach mean the terrain is flat throughout, making walking and cycling to the coast feasible. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half of the year, leaving long dry stretches from May to September, the pattern behind the region's appeal for outdoor living. The east orientation of the apartment places the terrace in morning sun, with shade developing in the afternoon, a practical consideration for terrace use in high summer. Inland viewpoints such as the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.4 km) and the Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.9 km) offer walking destinations in the nearby hills, where the terrain rises from the coastal plain toward the Sierra.

Three beaches sit within 1.7 km as the crow flies: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all a short drive from the estate. Golf is the defining recreation of the immediate area, El Campanario Golf Course at 0.3 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at 1.0 km, with its clubhouse at 1.1 km, essentially on the doorstep, and further renowned courses within a ten-minute drive according to the developer. Racquet sports are covered by the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km. Within the resort itself, residents have a gym, a 25-metre communal pool and 5,000 m² of landscaped gardens, plus the private pool in the apartment's own garden. For coastal outings, the marina at Puerto Banús is 6.6 km away, offering berths, dining and shopping. Two viewpoints in the nearby hills, Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.4 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.9 km), provide walking and hiking options inland. The combination of beach, golf and racquet sports within a two-kilometre radius is the recreational core of this location.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this residence competes in a segment above the typical new-build apartment offering. Comparable projects listed nearby start well below its fixed €1,250,000 asking price: Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600, Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000 and Alba Benalmadena in Benalmadena from €648,000. Those projects, however, are conventional apartment developments with communal facilities, whereas this unit offers a garden-apartment format with a private pool, a 125 m² semi-covered terrace, single-level occupation with no direct neighbours, and two parking spaces plus storage, a package closer in character to villa living than to a standard apartment. Location also differentiates: El Paraiso sits between Marbella and Estepona with two golf courses within about a kilometre as the crow flies, Puerto Banús at 6.6 km and Marbella at 14 km. Estepona-based projects are generally further from Marbella and Puerto Banús, while Benalmádena lies some 40-plus kilometres east, closer to Málaga and its airport. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off: the unit has less sea view than higher units in its own development, and the €/m² level, roughly €6,900 per built m², is high for the area, reflecting the private-garden format, the resort facilities and the Benahavís address. Housing market activity in the area is substantial, with 3,163 transactions per year recorded locally, indicating an active resale market for eventual exit. Median provincial income of €16,450 signals that the immediate buyer demographic is international rather than local, consistent with the area's tourism infrastructure of 24 hotels and 6,897 beds.
