La Alzambra de La Viñuela is a new development of 44 detached villas located in La Viñuela, Málaga. Situated in the countryside near the reservoir, this project offers a residential environment focused on privacy and space. The villas are built on plots starting from 600 m². Delivery is scheduled for Q3 2026. The location provides a balance between rural tranquility and accessibility to the coastal towns of the Axarquía region.
Compared to Arosa or Astra Homes, La Alzambra offers more plot size for the price. It lacks the walkability of coastal projects but provides superior privacy. Unlike Waterfall Residences, this is a house rather than an apartment, offering garden space.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located inland in the municipality of La Viñuela. The setting is characterized by the presence of the reservoir and agricultural land. Being situated inland, the area is quiet and car-dependent. The distance to Malaga Airport is approximately 36 km as the crow flies. Access to the coastal highway requires driving on local roads through the hilly terrain.
These villas cater to buyers prioritizing private outdoor space and a rural setting. Each unit features a private garden, covered terrace, and on-site parking. The layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for families or couples. The interior covers 102 m², with a living area that opens onto the terrace.
Construction is currently ongoing. The estimated completion date is Q3 2026. The project consists of 44 units being built in phases. Structural quality includes concrete foundations and floors. As the project is under construction, potential buyers should consider the lead time for delivery.
The project is not located on the beach. The nearest coastline is 15 km away, necessitating a car for beach visits. Being inland, the immediate vicinity lacks the dense infrastructure of coastal resorts. Public transport options are limited within walking distance.
This suits buyers looking for a 'lock-up-and-go' holiday home in a quiet area, or remote workers who do not need daily beach access. It is also suitable for those who enjoy water sports on the lake rather than the sea. Buyers comfortable driving on winding mountain roads will find the location convenient for exploring the region.
Homes feature 8 cm EPS external insulation for thermal efficiency. Windows are PVC with double glazing. Flooring is ceramic, suitable for the climate. Kitchens come equipped with appliances. The installation includes pre-conduit for air conditioning and mechanical ventilation systems. Construction standards meet current regulations.
Prices start from €365,000. The final price varies based on plot location and optional upgrades. The base price includes the construction and plot enclosure. A private pool is an optional extra. The entry price is lower than comparable detached homes in prime beachfront locations.
Living here means embracing the pace of the Axarquía countryside. The surroundings consist of olive groves, hills, and the lake. Evenings are quiet and dark, with little noise pollution. Daily life revolves around the house and garden. For shopping or dining out, one drives to the nearby village or Vélez-Málaga. The air is generally cleaner and cooler than on the coast during summer months.
The immediate environment is rural, dominated by the reservoir and hillside landscape. The area is not a tourist hotspot, preserving its local character. Facilities like a supermarket (3.1 km) and pharmacy (1.1 km) are nearby by car. The reservoir itself is a key feature, offering walking paths and water views.
The map highlights the project's proximity to the lake and the road network leading to the coast.
Positioned in the Axarquía region, inland from Vélez-Málaga. It serves as a gateway between the coast and the mountains. It offers more space for money compared to the congested coast but requires a lifestyle that accepts driving for amenities.
A car is essential. The beach at Torre del Mar is 15 km away but takes around 20 minutes to drive. Malaga Airport is 36 km (approx 40-50 mins drive). Golf courses require a drive of at least 36 km. Distances provided are 'as the crow flies', actual driving distance is longer due to terrain.

While the sea is 15 km away, the main recreation is at the La Viñuela reservoir (walking, fishing, bird watching). Golf facilities are a 30-40 minute drive away. The area is popular with hikers and nature lovers.
