A contemporary detached villa of 342 m² on a 1,058 m² plot in Cumbres de Elviria, East Marbella. The house has four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, a lift connecting garage to rooftop, a heated saltwater pool and a 102 m² rooftop solarium. The asking price is fixed at €2,650,000. Completion is stated as 2026, although delivery dates are always indicative. The villa sits in a low-density residential area roughly six kilometres from Marbella's old town, with golf courses, international schools and beaches within a short radius.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies the established detached segment of East Marbella, which differs markedly from the new-build apartment projects along the same coastline. Comparable listed projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,950) offer apartment living in coastal towns further from Marbella's core; their starting prices sit roughly an order of magnitude below this villa's fixed asking price of €2,650,000. What the difference buys is threefold. First, land: a 1,058 m² private plot with garden and heated pool, against communal grounds in apartment developments. Second, volume and autonomy: 342 m² across four levels with a private lift, cinema room and gym, rather than a single-floor apartment dependent on communal facilities. Third, micro-location: Elviria combines villa-area greenery of pine and cork oak with the infrastructure of Marbella East, golf within two kilometres, an international school at 0.8 km, and Marbella town roughly nine kilometres away. Torre del Mar and Estepona are respectively more affordable and less central relative to Marbella; Mijas sits on the western side of Fuengirola, further from Marbella's amenities. Elviria's market context is active: the surrounding region records 4,743 housing transactions per year and supports 52 hotels, indicating sustained demand from both residents and visitors. Median income in the province of €16,450 underlines that detached villas at this price point serve an international buyer profile rather than the local primary market. For buyers weighing this villa against new-build alternatives, the comparison is essentially one of completed, individualised living space in a mature setting versus phased apartment construction at lower entry prices elsewhere on the coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Cumbres de Elviria, a villa district in East Marbella characterised by pine and cork oak vegetation and low building density. Marbella's historic centre lies about nine kilometres away as the crow flies, while Elviria itself provides shopping, restaurants and bars. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km in a direct line, and Málaga Airport approximately 32 km.
The property functions as a full-year residence or spacious second home. Four en-suite bedrooms, a cinema room, a gym area and multiple outdoor zones support permanent occupancy as well as hosting guests. Year-round comfort is served by underfloor heating, air conditioning, a heated pool with cover and a bioclimatic pergola. The lift removes the staircase barrier between garage and solarium.
Construction status is key-ready, with completion stated as 2026; this date should be treated as indicative. The house is finished to a contemporary specification: open-plan main floor, double-height living space, walk-in wardrobes in the upper suites and a home automation system for shutters, climate and sound. The purchase concerns a single completed villa rather than an off-plan commitment.
Sea views exist exclusively from the rooftop solarium, not from the main living level. The property is a detached villa without communal facilities such as a shared pool or sports amenities. No private golf membership is included. Public transport is limited to local bus lines, so daily life depends on car use. The plot of 1,058 m² is moderate for a villa of this type in the area.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently will find four en-suite bedrooms, proximity to the English International College at 0.8 km in a direct line, and three schools within two kilometres, plus 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the wider region. The villa's lift and single-level main floor make longer-term occupancy realistic as mobility changes. A buyer seeking a second home with year-round usability benefits from the heated pool, underfloor heating and covered outdoor spaces, meaning the house does not depend on the summer season alone. Buyers who entertain guests or extended family can use the separate suites, the cinema room and the rooftop solarium as distinct zones. The property is less obvious for buyers who want sea views from the main living areas, since those views are limited to the rooftop. It also suits households comfortable with car-based daily life: Elviria has shops and restaurants nearby, but the nearest train station is in Fuengirola and only three local bus lines serve the area. Golf players will find Greenlife Golf at 0.9 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km in a direct line, making the location practical for regular play.
The villa is delivered in excellent condition with a contemporary technical specification. Water-based underfloor heating runs through the home, with electric underfloor heating added in the bathrooms, alongside air conditioning for cooling and central heating. This combination covers the full seasonal range on the Costa del Sol, where winter nights can cool noticeably at 30 metres elevation near the coast. Climate systems and other installations are integrated into a home automation package controlling electric shutters, climate and the sound system. The saltwater pool reduces chlorine use relative to conventional pools and is heated, with a cover to limit heat loss and evaporation, a practical feature given that sea-water temperatures support comfortable swimming for roughly five months a year. The build itself shows attention to detail: double-height living spaces, large glazing on the main floor, fitted wardrobes and walk-in wardrobes in the upper suites, and a glass staircase in the entrance hall. The bioclimatic pergola with adjustable louvres allows the terrace to be used in both strong sun and light rain. The lift, running from the enclosed garage to the rooftop solarium, is a structural feature uncommon in villas of this size. Finishing visible in the property includes smooth white walls and polished concrete-style flooring, consistent with a contemporary, low-maintenance interior. The overall package reflects recent construction standards in the higher segment of the Marbella market.
The villa carries a fixed asking price of €2,650,000. This concerns an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so the amount is not a starting price from which variants deviate. For that budget the buyer acquires 342 m² of living space on a 1,058 m² plot, four en-suite bedrooms, a lift, a heated saltwater pool and an enclosed garage. Compared with regional new-build apartments, which start between roughly €205,000 and €321,950 in comparable projects further along the coast, this villa sits in a distinctly higher segment of the Costa del Sol market, consistent with detached properties in East Marbella.
The villa is arranged around a clear daily rhythm across three levels plus a rooftop. The main floor combines living room, dining area and open-plan kitchen in one bright space, with large windows opening onto the terraces and garden. Double-height ceilings let natural light penetrate deep into the house. The south-west orientation means afternoon and evening sun on the outdoor areas, which suits the Mediterranean pattern of living outdoors late into the day. Two bedroom suites with walk-in wardrobes sit on the upper floor, with two further en-suite bedrooms elsewhere in the house, allowing guests or family members their own space. The lower floor is a functional basement level: a dedicated cinema room and a gym area with mirror and ballet barre, also usable for dance or stretching. The enclosed underground garage is reached by ramp, with additional parking for several vehicles inside the plot entrance. A lift connects every level, from garage to rooftop. Outside, the heated saltwater pool has a cover that extends the swimming season, while the terrace carries a bioclimatic pergola with adjustable louvres for control over sun and shade. The roughly 102 m² rooftop solarium, accessible by lift, offers space for separate seating and dining areas and is the only spot with sea views. Everyday life here revolves around the house itself and the Elviria district: local shops, restaurants and bars are close at hand, with Marbella's full urban offering roughly nine kilometres away in a direct line.
Elviria is a low-density residential area covered largely with native pine and cork oak, positioned as the centre of Marbella East. Within two kilometres of the villa there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, which covers most daily needs without travelling into Marbella town, roughly nine kilometres away in a direct line. The immediate surroundings combine residential quiet with practical accessibility. The area counts 39 public transport stops across three lines, but these are local connections; for commuting, shopping beyond local provision or airport travel, a car is the realistic option. Málaga Airport lies approximately 32 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar at roughly 64 km as an alternative. Leisure infrastructure is dense for a district of this scale: two golf facilities within 1.1 km, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km, and the Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km. Beaches at El Alicate and Playa de Artola are both 2.0 km in a direct line, the gradient to the beach is 1.5%, effectively flat, so walking or cycling to the coast is feasible. The Artola dunes and Cabopino beach, the latter at 4.5 km, provide natural and recreational outlets. Tourism infrastructure in the area is substantial, with 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, indicating an economy that stays active outside the summer months.
The map shows the villa in Cumbres de Elviria, between Marbella's old town to the west and the dunes of Artola to the east. Golf facilities cluster within two kilometres, the beaches of El Alicate and Artola lie two kilometres to the south, and the coastal road connects westwards to Marbella and Puerto Banús.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Elviria occupies the central position of Marbella East, roughly nine kilometres as the crow flies from Marbella's old town (147,958 inhabitants) and 41 km from Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants). This places the villa in an established residential belt between Marbella's historic and tourist core and the wider Málaga metropolitan coast. Algeciras, at 72 km, and Gibraltar at about 64 km mark the western edge of practical reach. Within this geography the property combines villa-area tranquillity with metropolitan access, a position that defines much of East Marbella's appeal on the Costa del Sol.
The villa's position within East Marbella gives it balanced accessibility. The beach at El Alicate is 2.0 km as the crow flies, and Playa de Artola the same distance; both are reachable on foot or by bicycle given the 1.5% gradient. Puerto Cabopino marina lies 4.7 km in a direct line, with Marbella's marinas at 7.6 km and 7.8 km. Golf is unusually close: Greenlife Golf at 0.9 km and its driving range at 1.1 km, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. The English International College, an international school, is 0.8 km away in a direct line. For longer journeys, Málaga city lies 41 km straight-line and its airport approximately 32 km; actual road distance and travel time will be longer. The nearest railway station is in Fuengirola. Public transport in Elviria consists of three bus lines with 39 stops, sufficient for local trips but not a substitute for a car. The enclosed garage with internal ramp, plus space for several vehicles at the plot entrance, supports multi-car households.

Elviria sits at 30 metres above sea level with a gentle 1.5% gradient towards the coast, meaning the villa enjoys near-flat access to the beach without being in the first coastal line. The average annual temperature is 19.1°C, typical of the Marbella coastline, where the Mediterranean moderates both summer heat and winter cold. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, although the villa's heated, covered pool extends outdoor swimming well beyond that window. The district's vegetation of native pines and cork oaks gives the setting a green, established character unusual for a coastal suburb, and the property lists forest views alongside sea, country, garden and pool views. The south-west orientation of the house places the terraces and pool in afternoon and evening sun, the most-used hours outdoors in southern Spain. The Artola dunes, a protected natural area near Cabopino roughly 2.0 to 4.5 km away, offer walking routes through one of the few undeveloped coastal stretches of the region.

The nearest beaches, El Alicate and Playa de Artola, are both 2.0 km from the villa in a direct line. Playa de Cabopino, at 4.5 km, adjoins the Artola dunes, a protected natural area with walking paths and undeveloped coastline. Puerto Cabopino marina, 4.7 km away, adds a small harbour with restaurants and moorings. Golf is the strongest recreational asset within immediate reach: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km and its driving range at 1.1 km make practice a near-daily possibility, while Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km offers a full course. The Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away. Swimming pools beyond the private one include facilities at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km in a direct line. The wider area's tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds, reflects the density of restaurants, beach clubs and leisure venues along this stretch of coast. For rainy days or quieter seasons, the villa's own cinema room and gym provide indoor recreation on site.
