New-build homes for sale on the Costa del Sol

Updated 2026-10-07

We list more than 130 new-build homes on the Costa del Sol, the stretch of Andalucía's coast from Málaga west to Sotogrande. Most are apartments in gated developments with a shared pool; the rest are townhouses and detached villas. Prices run from just under €200,000 for a one-bedroom apartment in Mijas to €4.5 million for a villa in Marbella. Every home has its own page with floor area, price and the full cost of buying.

Where we list

Estepona, Mijas and Marbella hold about half the homes. Estepona has the widest choice of new developments, from beachside apartments to homes on the golf courses in the hills, with a typical price around €440,000. Mijas, behind Fuengirola, is the value end of the western coast, with apartments from about €200,000 and a typical price under €400,000. Marbella is the prime market: the homes we list there have a typical price of about €1.4 million, and include villas on the Golden Mile.

East of Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga city offer apartments close to the airport and the coastal train. To the west, Manilva and Casares, and the area around Sotogrande and La Alcaidesa in the province of Cádiz, are quieter, with golf and marina living. Benahavís, inland of Marbella, has larger homes in the hills. On the eastern coast, Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar have smaller developments at lower prices.

Price bands

Around half the homes are under €400,000, mostly one- and two-bedroom apartments.

About a third sit between €400,000 and €1 million: larger apartments, penthouses and townhouses.

Around 20 are €1 million or more, mostly detached villas in Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona.

Who buys where

Marbella and Benahavís suit buyers who want the best-known address on the coast, with its restaurants, international schools and marinas, and who are buying a villa to keep. Estepona suits buyers who want a working Spanish town with a long seafront and new homes at a lower price than Marbella.

Mijas, Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Málaga suit buyers who will let the home or visit often: they are the closest to Málaga airport and have the longest letting season. The eastern coast suits buyers who want a quieter, more Spanish setting and are happy to be further from the airport.

What it costs to buy

A new home bought from a developer in Spain carries VAT (IVA) at 10% of the price, plus stamp duty (AJD) on the purchase deed. Andalucía sets stamp duty at 1.2%, the lowest of the Spanish regions we cover.

Notary, Land Registry and an independent lawyer add roughly 2% more, so budget around 13% to 14% on top of the price. Resale homes pay transfer tax instead of VAT, so these figures apply to new builds only. Our cost and yield calculator works out the total for any home and any currency.

The rental picture

Gross rental yields here are commonly quoted at 4% to 7%, with long-term price growth of around 5% to 9% a year on recent figures. Treat these as ranges, not promises: returns depend on the home, the season and how it is let.

Holiday letting in Andalucía needs registration in the regional tourist register, and some towns, including Málaga city, have restricted new holiday lets in parts of town, so check the rules for the exact address before you buy with letting in mind. UK owners who let pay Spanish non-resident tax at 24% on the rent, against 19% for EU residents, and owners pay a small imputed income tax on a home they do not let.

Residency and rules for UK buyers

Spain closed its property Golden Visa on 3 April 2025, so buying a home no longer gives a residency route on its own, at any price. Without residency, UK citizens can spend up to 90 days in any 180 in the Schengen area. Longer stays need a visa, such as the non-lucrative visa for people living on their own income.

In January 2025 the Spanish government proposed a tax of up to 100% on homes bought by non-EU buyers. It has not been passed: as of 2026 the bill has not been debated in Congress. We will update this page if that changes.

Buying safely

Get your NIE, the tax number every foreign buyer needs, early, and appoint an independent lawyer rather than one recommended by the seller. Your lawyer checks that the developer owns the land, that the building licence has been granted rather than applied for, and that the home is free of charges.

On a home that is still being built, Spanish law (the Building Act, Ley 38/1999, as amended in 2015) requires the developer to pay your stage payments into a special bank account and to give you an individual bank guarantee or insurance certificate, in your name, for the money you pay. Do not pay a stage without it.
