New developments in Los Flamingos
Los Flamingos is a residential area in the municipality of Benahavís. A new development here can mean a recently completed villa, a home under construction, an off-plan or turnkey project, or a plot with a proposed design, and each stage carries different legal and practical questions.
Send one brief with the stage you are willing to buy at, your budget, setting, requirements and timeline. We ask the estate agencies and developers we work with, compare the relevant replies and come back with suitable options or honest feedback when nothing currently matches.
Find Marbella is an independent buyer-side search service. We are not the developer, the seller or an official sales channel, and we are not affiliated with any golf club, resort operator, estate association or the municipality.
Free for buyers · No obligation · No agency introduction unless you agree

What “new development” can mean in Los Flamingos
The phrase is used loosely in marketing. Before comparing anything, establish which of the following you are actually being offered.
- A recently completed individual villa
- A villa currently under construction
- An off-plan or turnkey villa project
- A building plot with a proposed or approved project
- A smaller multi-unit release, but only where one can genuinely be verified
The legal and practical risk changes with the stage you buy at. A finished home is judged on what has been delivered, while an off-plan purchase depends on a contract, a licence, a payment schedule and a programme that has not yet been completed. We do not assume that any particular project, phase or release is on the market at a given moment.
What stage are you buying at?
Completed
A finished new home that has never been lived in. Ask for the building licence, the completion certificate and the first occupation documentation, and inspect the delivered condition rather than the marketing material.
Under construction
Work has started but the home is not finished. Confirm the licence, the actual progress on site, the contractual delivery terms and what happens to your payments if the programme slips.
Off-plan
You are buying from plans and a specification. Your lawyer should review the payment schedule, any bank or insurance guarantee for staged payments, the permitted material substitutions and the contractual completion terms.
Plot and project
Land with a proposed or approved project is not the same as a home. Obtain independent confirmation of permitted use, buildability, the planning status of the proposed design, access, utilities and the realistic cost of building it.
What buyers should verify
Nothing on this page replaces due diligence on the individual property or project. Appoint an independent Spanish property lawyer and an appropriate technical adviser before making a binding commitment or a staged payment.
- Legal identity of the developer or seller
- Ownership and Land Registry information
- Cadastral information for the plot and the building
- Planning permission and building licence
- Project description, drawings and written specification
- Payment schedule and any guarantees, reviewed by an independent Spanish lawyer
- Completion certificate and first occupation documentation
- Which changes and material substitutions are permitted
- Community fees, statutes and estate rules
- Plot boundaries and registered built area
- Pool, retaining walls, extensions and any works already carried out
- Access, utilities and infrastructure arrangements
- Actual construction progress and the risk of delay
- Snagging process and an independent technical inspection
- Whether the individual home has rights to specific shared facilities
- That buying a property and golf or club membership are separate matters
- That a current or future view is confirmed on site, never assumed
What Find Marbella does not do

How Find Marbella searches
Send one written brief
Tell us the stage you are willing to buy at, your budget, the setting you want, minimum requirements, timeline and the points you will not compromise on.
We ask the market we work with
We contact the estate agencies and developers we work with and compare the relevant replies. We do not claim to represent every seller or every project.
You receive relevant options or honest feedback
You receive the options that genuinely match your brief, or a clear explanation when the current market does not contain one. An agency introduction only happens with your agreement.
The wider area is covered in the Los Flamingos area guide, with separate guides for villas, golf property and the upper bracket. The surrounding municipality is described in the Benahavís area guide, and the service itself is explained on the Marbella property finder page.
Publicly advertised and privately shared releases
Some projects and new homes are advertised publicly through agencies and developers.
Others may be shared privately through an agency or developer before wider marketing begins.
Privately shared availability cannot be guaranteed, and it does not automatically mean better, cheaper or exclusive.
Sometimes the honest answer is that nothing currently on the market matches your brief, and we will say so.
Send your Los Flamingos new-build brief
Tell us the stage you are willing to buy at and what matters most. We will review your brief and come back with relevant options or honest market feedback.

Frequently asked questions
What does “new development” mean in Los Flamingos?
It is not one product. It can mean a recently completed villa, a villa under construction, an off-plan or turnkey villa project, a building plot with a proposed project, or a smaller multi-unit release where one can actually be verified.
Are new-build homes always available in Los Flamingos?
No. Availability changes and there may be periods when nothing new matches your brief. We will tell you when that is the case rather than presenting an unsuitable alternative.
Is Los Flamingos in Marbella?
Los Flamingos is a residential area in the municipality of Benahavís, although it is often marketed within the wider Marbella and Costa del Sol context. Confirm the municipality, address and urbanisation for each individual property.
Does new build always mean a completed property?
No. A home can be advertised as new while still being off-plan or under construction. The legal and practical risks differ at each stage, so establish the stage before anything else.
Can Find Marbella guarantee access to private launches?
No. Some releases are advertised publicly and others may be shared privately through agencies or developers before wider marketing. Privately shared availability cannot be guaranteed and does not automatically mean better, cheaper or exclusive.
What should I verify before buying off-plan or under construction?
An independent Spanish lawyer should review the seller’s legal identity, ownership, the building licence, the contract, the payment schedule and any guarantees for staged payments. A technical adviser should assess the specification, progress and the delivered condition.
Does buying a property include golf or club membership?
Not automatically. Property ownership, golf membership and access to club or resort facilities are separate matters. Confirm the terms directly with the club and your independent adviser.
Is Find Marbella’s service free for buyers?
Yes. Buyers do not pay Find Marbella for the search. If you purchase after an agreed introduction, the estate agency holding the property pays us a referral fee.
