An off-plan contemporary villa is under construction in Altos de los Monteros, a quiet residential hillside area east of Marbella centre, Málaga. The property offers five bedrooms and eight bathrooms within 531 m² of living space on a 1,006 m² plot, with a total built area of 881 m² including terraces and a private infinity pool. The asking price is fixed at €4,200,000 and includes the plot, building licence, architectural design and turnkey construction, with indicative handover in the second quarter of 2028. The villa forms part of a gated community of seven homes with 24-hour security, set at approximately 163 metres above sea level with panoramic views over the Mediterranean.
The villa's fixed price of €4,200,000 places it firmly in the upper segment of the Costa del Sol market, and comparisons with other listed projects illustrate the spread. In Torre del Mar, the Aquamar development starts from €269,950; in Mijas, Lantana Residencial from €205,000; and in Estepona, Etherna Homes 2 from €269,000. Those are apartment-oriented projects in the volume segment of the eastern and central Costa del Sol, targeting buyers at a different budget level and with a different product: multi-unit housing at lower price points per square metre. This villa, by contrast, competes in the Marbella luxury villa market, where pricing is driven by land value, view quality and specification rather than by cost per square metre alone. Within that local market, the seller's stated positioning is that the price is competitive for the area given its price per built square metre, roughly €4,770 per m² of total built area, while also removing the buyer's need to manage land acquisition, licensing and construction separately, since all three are included. The location itself is a differentiator within Marbella: Altos de los Monteros is a low-density hillside urbanisation east of the town centre, quieter than the Golden Mile or central beachfront zones, with proximity to the Santa María and Greenlife golf corridor and to the beaches of El Alicate and Artola. For buyers comparing across the region, the practical contrast is between volume-market apartments east and west of Málaga and turnkey villas in the established Marbella belt; this property belongs squarely to the second category, with a delivery timeline, indicatively the second quarter of 2028, that also distinguishes it from completed resale stock.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Altos de los Monteros lies on elevated ground roughly four kilometres inland from the coast, as the crow flies, between Marbella and Elviria. Daily amenities are within practical reach: a supermarket sits 2.1 km away and a hospital 2.2 km. El Alicate beach is 4.0 km distant, and Málaga-Costa del Sol airport approximately 34 km in a straight line.
The villa is designed for a household that needs generous space: five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, four parking spaces, a private garden and an infinity pool. Interior living areas of 301.80 m² usable space open onto large terraces, so indoor and outdoor use are closely connected throughout the year rather than only in summer.
Construction is under way and the property is sold as a turnkey off-plan project. Handover is indicatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2028, so the first full summer of use would follow shortly after completion. The price includes the plot, building licence, architectural design and fully finished construction, removing the need for the buyer to manage the development process separately.
The property does not offer immediate occupancy; handover is not expected before the second quarter of 2028, and this date is indicative. The price is fixed at €4,200,000 with no lower entry level. The villa sits in a hillside setting roughly four kilometres from the sea, so beach access always involves a short drive rather than walking distance.
This property matches a buyer who wants a newly built, fully specified villa without managing a construction project independently, since design, licence and turnkey delivery are included in the fixed price. It suits households that need five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, for example families with older children, multi-generational arrangements, or owners who regularly host guests for extended periods. The four parking spaces and gated setting with 24-hour security point towards owners of several vehicles, or those who use the villa part of the year and value supervised access when absent. The elevated position roughly four kilometres from the coast suits buyers who prefer quiet, view-oriented living over direct beachfront access. A willingness to drive for beaches, golf and Marbella centre is part of the daily pattern here. The delivery date also matters: with handover indicatively in the second quarter of 2028, the villa fits a purchase decision made now for occupancy or seasonal use from late 2028 onwards, rather than an immediate relocation. Buyers needing a home in the coming year would need to look elsewhere. Finally, the fixed €4,200,000 price positions the property in the luxury segment of the Marbella market, so it is relevant to buyers whose budget aligns with that level and who accept an off-plan commitment with an indicative completion timeline.
The villa is delivered turnkey, which in this case means a defined package: a fully fitted kitchen, full furnishing, hot and cold air conditioning, and central heating. For a hillside property at 163 metres elevation, where winter evenings are cooler than on the coast, the combination of central heating and hot/cold air conditioning covers year-round climate control rather than summer use only. The architectural design follows a contemporary language with clean lines, large windows and open-plan interior spaces. The glazing is not merely stylistic: floor-to-ceiling openings connect the main living areas with the terraces and frame the panoramic sea and mountain views, while increasing natural light throughout the day across the 301.80 m² of usable interior space. Externally, the 1,006 m² plot accommodates a private garden, terraces and an infinity pool oriented towards the sea. Parking for four vehicles is provided on the plot. As an off-plan project, the specification remains partly flexible: finishes, materials and customization options are documented and available to interested buyers on request, which allows a purchaser to influence parts of the final result within the project's framework. Buyers should treat the listed features, furniture, kitchen, climate systems, as contractual elements to verify in the purchase documentation. The building licence is already included, which removes a common source of delay and uncertainty in Spanish off-plan projects. Delivery remains indicative until the construction schedule is confirmed contractually, and the second quarter of 2028 date should be checked against the developer's commitments.
The asking price is fixed at €4,200,000. This is not a price-list development with a range of unit types; it concerns a single villa with a defined specification: five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, 531 m² living area, 881 m² total built area on a 1,006 m² plot. The price includes the plot, the building licence, the architectural design and the construction of the fully finished villa, including a fully fitted kitchen and furnishing. As an off-plan purchase, the buyer commits before completion; handover is indicatively planned for the second quarter of 2028, and that date may shift. Complete project documentation, technical specifications and customization options are available on request to interested parties.
Altos de los Monteros is a low-density residential zone on the slopes above Marbella's eastern coastline. At around 163 metres above sea level, with a moderate gradient of about 4% down towards the beach, the area combines elevated sea views with a quiet, green setting away from the busy coastal strip. Daily life here is residential rather than touristic: the immediate surroundings contain few businesses, while a supermarket at 2.1 km and a hospital at 2.2 km cover routine needs within a short drive. The villa's own programme supports a settled household rhythm. Five bedrooms and eight bathrooms allow family living and visiting guests without shared facilities. The 531 m² living area and open-plan layout distribute light across the main floor, and the terraces, garden and infinity pool extend usable space outdoors for most of the year given the region's average annual temperature of 18.3°C. Parking for four vehicles suits households with multiple cars or visitors. The gated community of seven villas with 24-hour security shapes the day-to-day atmosphere: access is controlled, traffic is limited to residents, and the elevated position means unobstructed views towards the sea and the hills around Marbella. For errands and leisure, residents typically drive: El Alicate beach lies 4.0 km away as the crow flies, Marbella's marinas around four kilometres, and several golf clubs between five and six kilometres. Public transport exists in the wider area, with eleven lines and fifty stops, but a car remains the practical choice for most journeys, and road distances are longer than straight-line figures suggest.
The surrounding area works on two scales. On the daily scale, essentials are close: a supermarket at 2.1 km and a hospital at 2.2 km straight-line make routine shopping and healthcare a five-to-ten minute drive in practice. A pharmacy lies 3.4 km away. On the leisure scale, the coastline begins about four kilometres away: El Alicate at 4.0 km, Playa de la Bajadilla at 4.4 km and Playa de Artola at 7.0 km, the latter near the Cabopino dunes. Golf is a recurring feature of this stretch of coast, with Greenlife Golf at roughly 5.3–5.6 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 6.2 km. Marbella's marinas, Marina Marbella, Marina la Bajadilla and Puerto Pesquero, cluster around four kilometres away, covering waterfront dining and boat access. Education and healthcare infrastructure in the wider municipality is substantial: 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools, five health centres, and international schools such as the English International College at 4.6 km and the British International School at 6.9 km. A car is practical for almost all of this, though the area is not entirely car-dependent. The wider zone counts eleven public transport lines and fifty stops, and an EV charging point sits 4.4 km away, with a Tesla supercharger at 8.2 km, relevant given the four parking spaces on the plot.
The map shows the villa's elevated position in Altos de los Monteros, roughly four kilometres as the crow flies from the beaches east of Marbella. Markers indicate nearby golf courses, marinas, schools and the route towards the A-7/AP-7 coastal corridor connecting Málaga airport, about 34 km straight-line to the north-east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Altos de los Monteros occupies the elevated ground between Marbella's eastern beaches and the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, roughly a ten-minute drive from Marbella old town and similar to Elviria and the Santa María golf area. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, it sits in the western, higher-value segment between Marbella and Fuengirola's hinterland, roughly 34 km straight-line from Málaga airport and about 62 km from Gibraltar. This position places it within the established luxury belt east of Marbella, where low-density villa urbanisations alternate with golf courses, in contrast to the denser apartment development found further east towards Torre del Mar and Torrox.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and travel times are longer. Beaches: El Alicate 4.0 km, Playa de la Bajadilla 4.4 km, Playa de Artola 7.0 km. Airport: Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) approximately 34 km, reachable by car via the A-7/AP-7 corridor; Gibraltar (GIB) lies about 62 km straight-line to the south-west. Golf: Greenlife Golf Driving Range 5.3 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella 5.6 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club 6.2 km. Daily services: supermarket 2.1 km, hospital 2.2 km, pharmacy 3.4 km, EV charging 4.4 km. Public transport in the wider area comprises eleven lines with fifty stops, usable for some local journeys, though the hillside position and the spread of amenities make a car the practical norm. The airport distance of roughly 34 km translates to a drive typically under forty minutes in normal traffic, which keeps international travel connections manageable for part-year residents.

The climate data points to a Mediterranean pattern moderated by the sea: an average annual temperature of 18.3°C and a swimming season of about four months during which sea water reaches 20°C or more, roughly June through September. The villa's elevation of 163 metres brings slightly cooler nights than the waterfront, which the central heating and hot/cold air conditioning address outside the warm months. The moderate 4% gradient down to the beach means the plot enjoys elevated outlooks without an extreme hillside position. The setting is framed by nature: the Mirador de Ojén viewpoint 4.3 km away indicates the proximity of the Sierra foothills, and the property's own description emphasises the surrounding green hills. Sunshine hours in this part of Andalusia are among the highest in Spain, which is directly relevant to the design: large windows, terraces and an infinity pool are usable features for most of the year rather than seasonal extras. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, keeping the summer months dry and suited to outdoor living.

The nearest stretch of coast is El Alicate at 4.0 km straight-line, a quieter sandy beach east of Marbella centre, followed by Playa de la Bajadilla at 4.4 km near the fishing port. Further along, Playa de Artola at 7.0 km adjoins the protected dune system at Cabopino, one of the few natural dune areas remaining on this coast. Golf is the second recreational anchor: three courses within about six kilometres, Greenlife Golf Driving Range at 5.3 km, Greenlife Golf Marbella at 5.6 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 6.2 km, give residents a choice without long drives. Marinas at 3.8–4.0 km offer berths, waterfront restaurants and departure points for boat trips. Organised sport is covered by several facilities, including Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 3.9 km, a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion at 4.4 km and the Supera Miraflores centre at 4.8 km. Tourism infrastructure in the municipality is extensive, 48 hotels with over 12,600 beds, which supports year-round dining and services but also means the coastal strip fills noticeably in July and August, when the hillside quiet of Altos de los Monteros becomes a practical advantage.
