Price, bedrooms and availability cover the developments that sell villas only. Developments that also include apartments, penthouses or townhouses are listed below with their full range of home types and are left out of these figures. Figures reflect currently published developments and are reconfirmed by Nueva Living before any viewing or reservation.

Buying A Villa On The Costa Del Sol

One coast, very different villas

A new-build villa here is a house on its own plot, sold from the plans or while it is being built, usually with a private pool and a garden. This page lists every villa development we currently publish, whatever the town, so that you can compare plot, built area, price and delivery side by side.

The range is wide. Semi-detached houses with a private garden start well below the large detached villas of Nueva Andalucía and Cortijo Blanco, and the starting price on each card is the quickest way to see where a development sits. Developments that mix villas with apartments or penthouses are listed with their full range of home types and left out of the figures above.

Looking at one place? See new-build villas in Estepona or Marbella, read the Benahavís guide, or compare every area on the coast. For the taxes on top of the price, read the new-build purchase costs guide.

01

Buyer Profile

Suits buyers who have settled on a villa but not yet on a town, and want to see how plots, prices and delivery compare across the coast.

02

Typical Status

Most current releases are off-plan or under construction, sold with staged payments through to completion. The delivery line on each card gives the stated date or status.

03

What Varies Most

Plot size, the outlook (sea, golf or hills) and the position within the community. Compare the plot and built-area figures on each project page.

04

Before You Reserve

Nueva Living confirms current availability, price list and payment terms directly with the developer.

Choosing Between Them

Estepona or Marbella?

01

Villas in Estepona

More developments to choose from, a wider range of prices, and semi-detached houses as well as detached villas. Better for comparing several developments at different price points.

02

Villas in Marbella

Larger plots, gated communities and higher starting prices. Fewer developments, mostly detached villas, with more space and more privacy.

Common Questions

What buyers usually ask us

Where on the Costa del Sol can I buy a new-build villa?

Current developments are in Estepona, in Marbella (Nueva Andalucía, Cortijo Blanco and Elviria), in Benahavís and in Mijas. The cards below show each one, and the pages for Estepona and Marbella narrow the list to a single place.

What does a new-build villa cost on the Costa del Sol?

It depends on the town, the plot and the specification, and the range is wide. Every card shows the starting price of its development, and the figures at the top of this page summarise the developments that sell villas only. Nueva Living reconfirms the current price list before a viewing.

Are these villas off-plan, or can I move in now?

It varies by development. Most current releases are off-plan or under construction, sold with staged payments through to completion; where a villa is finished, the card says so. The delivery line on each card shows the status the developer states, and Nueva Living reconfirms it before you reserve.

What taxes and costs come on top of the price?

On a new-build bought from the developer you pay 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD) in Andalucía, 11.2% in total, before notary, land registry and legal fees. Some prices on this site are shown plus VAT, so check the basis of the figure you are comparing.
