This residential building plot of 1,023 m² is situated on Calle Alminar in Nueva Andalucía, one of Marbella's most established residential neighbourhoods within the so-called Golf Valley. The asking price is fixed at €1,300,000. A previous architectural project exists for the site, proposing a contemporary villa of approximately 405 m² built across a basement and two above-ground floors, with three bedrooms and a private swimming pool. The plot lies about one kilometre from Puerto Deportivo José Banús and roughly 2.6 km from the nearest beach, measured as the crow flies. The surrounding area combines golf courses, international schools and a wide range of daily amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot sits in Nueva Andalucía, west of Marbella centre and about 7 km from it in a straight line. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is approximately 1 km away, while three golf courses, The Range, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf, lie between 1.9 and 3.1 km from the site. Marbella's beaches start at roughly 2.6 km as the crow flies.
The plot measures 1,023 m² and carries an existing architectural proposal for a villa of roughly 405 m² with three bedrooms, a basement level, two upper floors and a private pool. This offers a starting point for buyers who want to realise a custom home rather than purchase a finished property, with the design still open to revision subject to local approvals.
The site is a completed plot without a built structure; the recorded completion date of 1970 refers to the original land registry entry, not to any standing building. Construction has not started. Any villa would be a future development project, with timelines depending on licensing, final design choices and the chosen contractor. Delivery dates for such a build are therefore indicative.
What this plot does not offer: a habitable property, bedrooms or bathrooms, an energy certificate or any completed construction. There are no communal facilities, parking spaces or garden areas in place. Building depends on obtaining current municipal licences, and the 1970 registry date does not guarantee that the existing architectural proposal remains valid under current planning rules. Costs beyond the land price are not included.

This plot suits a buyer with a clear intention to build a custom villa in an established Marbella neighbourhood, who has the budget and patience for a construction project of typically two to three years from licence application to completion. It fits households relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol who want proximity to international schools at under 4 km, as well as buyers seeking a second home near golf courses and Puerto Banús. It may also appeal to investors positioning a rental property in the Golf Valley, where demand for quality villas is consistent. The situation is less practical for buyers who need a move-in-ready home on a short timeline, since no habitable structure exists and construction has not begun. It also does not suit buyers with a limited total budget, because the €1,300,000 asking price is only the first component of the total investment; the villa construction, pool and associated costs follow. Finally, buyers who prioritise walking distance to the beach should note the 2.6 km straight-line distance, which in practice means a short drive rather than a stroll. For a self-builder working with an architect, however, an existing design proposal for a three-bedroom villa with a basement provides a documented starting point that can shorten the design phase.
As an undeveloped plot, the question of finishing and materials is entirely open. No builder, material specification or technical installation has been fixed. The existing architectural project proposes a contemporary villa of approximately 405 m² built area, distributed over a basement level and two above-ground floors, with three bedrooms and a private swimming pool. Section drawings from this proposal are available and give an impression of the intended spatial layout. The actual build quality will depend on the contractor selected, the construction standards applied and the specifications agreed with the architect. Buyers should budget for current Spanish building regulations, which include requirements for thermal insulation, ventilation and, in new residential construction, provisions for renewable energy systems. No energy certificate exists for the plot since there is no building. Technical due diligence items to verify before purchase include soil conditions, topography of the 1,023 m² site, utility connections at the street boundary, and confirmation with Marbella town hall that the intended build volume of roughly 405 m² remains permissible under the current zoning plan. The flat gradient of 0.2 per cent towards the beach suggests simple foundation conditions, but this should be confirmed by a geotechnical study rather than assumed from the terrain profile.
The plot is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,300,000. This covers the land and the transferable architectural project only; construction of the proposed 405 m² villa, licensing, technical studies and municipal fees are additional costs to be budgeted separately. For context, regional transaction volumes of 4,743 housing sales per year and the median provincial income of €16,450 indicate that this segment of the market operates largely on international demand rather than local purchasing power. Comparable new-build apartments on the Costa del Sol start between roughly €205,000 and €321,000, but those figures relate to completed homes and are not directly comparable to a serviced plot in this location. Availability is immediate in the sense that the land is key-ready for a development process to begin.
Nueva Andalucía functions as a year-round residential district rather than a seasonal resort zone. Daily life here revolves around quiet residential streets, a dense concentration of golf courses and the commercial strip around the bullring, all within walking or short driving distance. Within 2 km of the plot there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which means most daily errands can be done without travelling far. For a household building a villa on this plot, the rhythm of the day would likely involve short trips: morning coffee within the neighbourhood, golf or a walk on one of the nearby courses, and evenings in Puerto Banús, about one kilometre away as the crow flies. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, lies 2.6 km in a straight line over flat terrain, with Playa de Nagüeles slightly further at 2.7 km. Education is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded in the wider area, plus international options such as the British International School at 3.8 km. Healthcare access includes 5 health centres in the surrounding region. The area's tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds, indicates a busy summer season, particularly around Puerto Banús, while the residential core of Nueva Andalucía remains comparatively calm outside peak months.
Living in Nueva Andalucía centres on a combination of residential calm and dense amenity provision. Within a 2 km radius, residents have access to 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 3 pharmacies, 4 banks and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without leaving the neighbourhood. The plot sits about 1 km from Puerto Deportivo José Banús, whose marina, shops and nightlife are close enough for an evening out yet far enough to avoid direct noise exposure. Sports facilities nearby include Polideportivo San Pedro at 2.9 km, a climbing gym at 3.6 km and CrossFit Marbella at 3.8 km. For viewpoints, Mirador del Muelle de Honor lies 1.2 km away. Public transport in the area consists of 10 lines with 50 stops, giving limited but real connectivity towards Marbella centre and San Pedro. In practice, most residents of villa plots in this area rely on a car; the motorway connection towards Marbella, Estepona and Málaga airport is reached within minutes. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Marbella Supercharger 2.3 km away. The neighbourhood's character is year-round residential, supported by 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, which keeps demand for housing stable outside the tourist season.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía occupies a strategic position on the western side of Marbella, between the town centre 7 km to the east and the residential corridors of Benahavís and Estepona to the west. Málaga, the regional capital with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 54 km away, while Algeciras is 59 km to the southwest. Within this frame, the plot sits closer to Puerto Banús and the Golf Valley than to Marbella's historic core, which shapes its character: villa neighbourhoods, golf greens and marina amenities rather than old-town streets. On the Costa del Sol as a whole, this is one of the most consolidated premium residential zones, with year-round demand supported by international schools and services.
Key distances from the plot, measured in a straight line: the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, at 2.6 km; Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 1.0 km; and Marbella town centre at 7 km. Marbella's second marina, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen, lies 5.3 km away, and Marina la Bajadilla at 6.7 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 45 km away, reachable by car in well under an hour via the A-7/AP-7; Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is 52 km in a straight line to the southwest. Actual road distances are longer than straight-line figures. Public transport is available with 10 lines and 50 stops in the area, though service frequency is geared more towards local commuters than long-distance travel. By car, the area is well connected: the coastal motorway runs parallel to the shore and links Nueva Andalucía with Estepona, Fuengirola and Málaga. For golfers, three courses sit within 3.1 km. The flat terrain (0.2 per cent gradient) and low elevation of 10 m above sea level make walking and cycling around the immediate neighbourhood uncomplicated.

The climate data for this location shows an average annual temperature of 19.2 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 12 °C in the coolest months to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season lasts approximately six months, during which sea temperatures reach 20 °C or higher. The site lies at 10 m above sea level with a gradient of only 0.2 per cent towards the coast, meaning the terrain is essentially flat, relevant for both construction costs and everyday mobility, with no steep hills between the plot and the sea. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half of the year, while summers are dry and sunny, typical of the Mediterranean climate of the Costa del Sol. For a future villa on this plot, this translates into a long outdoor season: terrace use, pool use and outdoor dining are practical from late spring through early autumn. Afternoon summer heat is moderated by sea breezes given the proximity to the coast at 2.6 km. The nearby golf courses and green zones provide landscaped open space, while the Sierra Blanca mountain range behind Marbella is visible from much of Nueva Andalucía and offers hiking options within a short drive.

The nearest beach is Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, 2.6 km away in a straight line, followed by Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km, all reachable within a five-minute drive. The beaches along this stretch of Marbella's coastline offer chiringuitos, water sports and beach clubs within a compact area. Golf is the defining recreational feature of Nueva Andalucía: The Range golf lessons facility sits 1.9 km from the plot, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km, with further courses in the Golf Valley beyond. For organised sport, Polideportivo San Pedro (2.9 km) provides municipal facilities including pools and courts, Rocodromo offers climbing at 3.6 km, and CrossFit Marbella operates at 3.8 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at just 1 km, adds sailing, boat charters and water-based recreation. The viewpoint at Mirador del Muelle de Honor, 1.2 km away, is a short excursion for coastal panoramas. With 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 tourist beds in the area, high-season leisure infrastructure is extensive, and the 32 local public holidays per year give the calendar a steady rhythm of fiestas and events.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this plot occupies a different segment from the comparable new-build apartment projects listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) all offer completed or under-construction apartments on the eastern and central parts of the coast. Those projects target buyers seeking turnkey homes at accessible price points, generally further from Marbella's premium core. A €1,300,000 plot in Nueva Andalucía serves a different purpose: the buyer acquires land in one of the coast's most consolidated villa districts and takes on a self-build trajectory. The total investment, once a 405 m² villa is built, will place the finished property well above the price band of the comparables, but in a location where resale demand for quality villas is structural rather than seasonal. Location-wise, Nueva Andalucía differs from Torre del Mar and Mijas in its density of golf courses, its proximity to Puerto Banús at about one kilometre, and its year-round international community supported by 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area. Estepona, by contrast, offers newer development zones at lower land costs but with less established infrastructure immediately around them. Marbella centre, 7 km away, provides the historic town and full urban services, while Nueva Andalucía itself leans on the Golf Valley's residential networks. Market activity in the region, 4,743 housing transactions per year, reflects a liquid market, though plots of this size with an existing villa design remain a small subset of total supply. Buyers weighing this plot against an off-plan apartment should weigh timing and control: the apartment offers delivery certainty and fixed pricing, while the plot offers full design freedom at the cost of a longer process and budget management during construction.
