This exceptional detached villa, located in the prestigious Puerto Banús area of Marbella, Málaga, presents a distinctive opportunity within the Costa del Sol's prime real estate landscape. Occupying a substantial 4,205m² plot, the property is situated just 800 metres from the vibrant marina and its associated amenities. Offering expansive living space of 703m², the residence is designed for sophisticated living and entertaining, with significant potential for redevelopment or bespoke enhancement.
When comparing this Puerto Banús estate to projects like Acqua Gardens, Aby Upper in Estepona, or Alba Benalmadena, the key differentiator is its exceptional land size and prime, ultra-luxury location. Projects in Estepona, while offering new builds at significantly lower price points (starting from €320,000 - €418,800), typically feature smaller plots and are situated in developing areas rather than established prime hubs. Alba Benalmadena, priced from €598,000, offers a coastal location with amenities but lacks the scale and exclusive status of Puerto Banús. This property's €9,000,000 price point reflects not just the existing structure but the significant intrinsic value of the 4,205m² plot in one of the most sought-after addresses on the Costa del Sol. The potential for redevelopment into multiple luxury units further distinguishes it from typical apartment complexes or smaller villa developments in other areas, positioning it in a class of its own for discerning buyers or developers.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Positioned in the sought-after Puerto Banús, this estate benefits from unparalleled proximity to a world-class marina, designer boutiques, and fine dining establishments. The immediate urban setting ensures a wealth of amenities are within easy reach, while the substantial plot size provides a rare sense of seclusion within this dynamic coastal hub.
This property is suited for individuals or families seeking a substantial residence in an exclusive location, offering both ample living space and significant grounds. It caters to those who appreciate privacy, mature landscaping, and the convenience of urban access, alongside the potential to customise or redevelop a prime plot.
The property is an existing detached villa, presented in excellent condition. While it offers immediate usability, the significant plot size classified as Urban Land (Consolidated Urban Land, zoned UE-4) presents a distinctive development opportunity. Future potential may include redevelopment into a boutique scheme of up to four luxury villas, subject to planning permissions.
This listing does not represent a new construction project. While the existing villa is in excellent condition, potential redevelopment plans would be subject to local planning regulations and approvals. The property is situated in a high-activity area due to its prime location, which may be a consideration for those seeking absolute seclusion.
This property is particularly suited for a discerning buyer looking for a significant estate in one of the Costa del Sol's most prestigious locations. It appeals to those who value proximity to high-end amenities, including beaches, fine dining, and exclusive shopping, all within walking distance. Families requiring substantial living space and extensive grounds will find the seven bedrooms and vast plot suitable. Furthermore, it presents a compelling proposition for developers or investors recognising the potential for a boutique villa development on a rare, large plot in a prime urban setting. The combination of existing luxury living and future development prospects caters to both immediate lifestyle aspirations and long-term investment strategies.
The existing villa offers a high standard of finish, consistent with its prime location. The property features expansive reception areas, including a double-height living room, and seamless integration between indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. It comprises seven generously sized bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The principal suite includes a dressing area and a large marble bathroom. Throughout the residence, the design emphasizes space and light, with access to extensive terraces and porches spanning 483m². The estate grounds include a private pool, a heated pool option, covered terraces, and mature, lush gardens. While the existing condition is excellent, some areas, such as the gym, sauna, and jacuzzi room, may benefit from updating.
The detached villa is offered at a starting price of €9,000,000. This price reflects the exceptional location, the significant plot size of 4,205m², and the substantial built area of 703m². The property comprises 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Given the prime position in Puerto Banús, a location with consistently high demand, properties of this calibre and plot size are infrequently available.
