This new development is situated in Benajarafe, a coastal town in the Axarquía region of Málaga province. Offering direct access to the Mediterranean, it is positioned within an established urban setting with essential amenities within easy reach. The development is under construction, presenting a collection of modern residences designed for coastal living. Its location benefits from proximity to larger urban centres and transport links, while retaining a connection to the local Spanish lifestyle.
Compared to developments further west on the Costa del Sol, such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, this project in Benajarafe offers a distinct location and price point. Estepona, for example, is known for its more established luxury market and wider range of high-end amenities, often reflected in higher starting prices for comparable new builds, as seen with Alba Benalmadena (€598,000). This Benajarafe development is positioned in the Axarquía region, which is generally considered to have a more traditional Andalusian feel and potentially a more accessible price entry for new constructions, despite its beachfront proximity. While Estepona and Benalmadena attract a similar international buyer base seeking sun and sea, Benajarafe offers a slightly more 'off-the-beaten-track' experience compared to the busier tourist hubs, appealing to those who value a calmer, yet well-connected, coastal lifestyle. The €740,000 starting price places it at the higher end for this specific eastern Costa del Sol area, reflecting its new development status and direct coastal access.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The development is located directly on the coast, with the nearest beach approximately 465 metres away. It is situated within a built-up urban area, ensuring that shops, restaurants, and other daily necessities are accessible on foot. The proximity to Málaga city and its airport facilitates connectivity, positioning it as a coastal retreat with urban convenience.
This project caters to those seeking a permanent residence or a holiday home with direct access to the beach. The design focuses on modern living, with an emphasis on light, space, and sea views. It appeals to individuals or families desiring a tranquil coastal lifestyle, coupled with the convenience of urban amenities and good transport links nearby.
The development is currently under construction, with an anticipated completion date. This phase offers buyers the opportunity to secure a property in a new build development featuring contemporary architecture and finishes. The construction status implies that the properties will benefit from modern building regulations and energy efficiency standards.
This development does not offer lower price points or smaller property sizes, with residences starting from €740,000 and featuring 3 bedrooms. It does not provide immediate occupancy due to its under-construction status. Direct sea frontage is not guaranteed for all units, with some properties located slightly further from the immediate beachfront.
This development is suited for individuals or families prioritising a direct coastal lifestyle with convenient access to amenities. It is suitable for those seeking a modern property in a less crowded area than some of the larger Costa del Sol resorts, yet still wanting good connections to Málaga. Those looking for a holiday home that can also serve as a rental income property, or a permanent residence offering a relaxed pace of life combined with urban accessibility, will find this appealing. It also suits buyers who appreciate new construction with contemporary design and facilities such as communal pools.
The development is specified as a new construction, indicating adherence to current building codes and standards. While specific material details are not provided, new builds typically feature modern finishes. This often includes fitted wardrobes, en-suite bathrooms, and a kitchen-lounge layout, designed for contemporary living. Properties are oriented south, maximising natural light and warmth. The use of quality materials and construction solutions is implied for a development in this price category, aiming for durability and aesthetic appeal. Communal gardens and a shared pool are also noted features, contributing to the overall living experience.
The residences in this new development are available within a price range of €740,000 to €790,000. This price bracket reflects the property's location, size, and new construction status. Properties feature 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a built area of 146 m². The limited plot size of 13 m² suggests a focus on the built living space rather than extensive private gardens. Availability will vary as construction progresses and units are sold, with specific pricing dependent on the exact unit and its position within the development.
Benajarafe presents a blend of a traditional Spanish coastal town with modern development. The immediate vicinity offers a practical urban environment where daily errands, such as grocery shopping and visiting pharmacies, can be completed on foot. The presence of numerous restaurants and cafes suggests a lively social atmosphere, particularly during warmer months. The development itself is positioned to take advantage of the coastal setting, with sea views and proximity to the beach being key features. This setting aims to provide a balance between the relaxed pace of coastal living and the convenience of urban accessibility, making it suitable for those who value both tranquility and practicality in their daily routine.
The immediate environment of Benajarafe offers a range of daily conveniences within walking distance, including supermarkets, pharmacies, and a selection of restaurants and cafes. The local sports complex is also situated nearby. For healthcare, a hospital is accessible within a short distance. The property's position within an urban setting means that while direct beach access is close, the surrounding area is developed. Connectivity to Málaga is facilitated by road, with the airport approximately 27 km away, offering access to national and international destinations.
This map illustrates the project's position within Benajarafe, highlighting its immediate coastal setting. It shows the proximity to local amenities such as shops and healthcare facilities, as well as the short distance to the beach. The map also contextualises its location relative to the wider region, including the distance to Málaga city and its airport, providing a geographical overview for potential residents.
Benajarafe is situated on the eastern side of the Costa del Sol, within the province of Málaga.

The nearest beach, Playa de Benajarafe, is approximately 465 metres away, indicating easy pedestrian access. For shopping, a supermarket is conveniently located just 108 metres from the site, and a pharmacy is within 151 metres.
