The current market for new developments on the Costa del Sol can only be described as busy. So busy in fact that it ranks among the areas with the most activity in Spain. Hot spots include all the coastal resorts between Marbella and Sotogrande, with Estepona a particular hive of activity.
In 2020, the Costa del Sol issued 6.2 licenses per 1,000 existing properties, almost double the national average of 3.3. New-build sales are also increasing their market share. In Q1 2021, they accounted for 27% of the total, up from 15% in 2020 and just 10% in 2019.
But when faced with so much new-build choice, where and what do you buy? To help you make that all-important decision, we’ve listed the ten hottest new developments on the Costa del Sol right now. Each unique, each stunning and each in just the right location.
Tempted? Read on.

What else will you love? The Porcelanosa, Schucco, Siemens and Gaggenau fittings and appliances. The fabulous vistas to Gibraltar and beyond. Oh, and an infinity pool overlooking the Med.

The 3-bedroom apartment comes with fabulous sea views plus the highest-end finishes.

Hottest views of the Med – Oceanic Villas, Manilva
Fabulous views come standard at many new developments on the Costa del Sol, but vistas as outstanding as these are only available at these luxurious villas. We think they’re probably the best views of the Mediterranean you’ll find anywhere in the area. And then there’s the villa itself. Picture-perfect modern design with open plan 7712qliving, plenty of space on generous plots and all within easy reach of Marbella and Sotogrande.
What else will you love? 4 bedrooms and a ton of living space over 230m². Luxury extras like underfloor heating, aerothermal systems and high-end appliances. And then of course, there are those views…

Hottest natural haven – Quabit Casares Golf, Casares
Slightly away from the coast but still with the sparkling Med and Africa on the horizon, this modern development has a distinctly Moroccan feel to it. A sanctuary of contemporary living within the exceptional oasis of Finca Cortesin – one of the finest residential developments in southern Europe. The 2-bedroom penthouse comes open plan with big windows and plenty of space.
What else will you love? The penthouse’s corner position giving you maximum views (sea and golf). A massive terrace (all 138m² of it). Avant-garde technology. And the feeling that this is your haven.
