New Developments in Marbella East, what to expect
New developments on the Costa del Sol are off-plan or recently completed projects built to current energy and design standards, with resort-style amenities such as spas, gyms and concierge. Buying off-plan can secure a price below the eventual market value and allow customisation of finishes, but requires careful due diligence on the developer and bank guarantees.
Marbella East has an active new-build pipeline, projects launching off-plan around Elviria, Las Chapas and Hacienda Las Chapas are typically 15–25% below eventual market value at reservation stage.
Families and full-time relocators who want space, pine forest and quieter beaches without leaving the Marbella postcode. Plot sizes are amongst the largest in the municipality, so resale stock is comparatively varied and prices per m² of land are lower than west of town. Pricing sits in the mid-market band, well-located but materially below the Golden Mile.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price range for new developments in Marbella East?
New Developments in Marbella East fall within the wider area range of €350K – €8M, with the strongest pricing concentrated around Elviria and Playa de Alicate. The area sits in the mid-market band, well-located but materially below the Golden Mile, so a new development here is priced against that benchmark, not against the wider Costa del Sol average.
How much off-market activity is there for new developments in Marbella East?
Plot sizes are amongst the largest in the municipality, so resale stock is comparatively varied and prices per m² of land are lower than west of town. In practice, that means a meaningful share of the best new developments in Marbella East, particularly around Elviria, change hands before they reach the public portals. Find Marbella plugs into that off-market layer alongside the full portal feed.
What does a typical new development in Marbella East look like?
Detached villas on plots of 1,000–3,000 m² in mature pine settings, with low-density beachside apartment complexes along Elviria and Las Chapas. For new developments specifically, that translates into stock that reflects Marbella East's character rather than generic Costa del Sol product, frontline along Elviria / Las Chapas; 5–10 minutes from inland urbanisations, with gentle coastal slope with strong sea views from elevated hacienda las chapas positions.
Who is buying new developments in Marbella East right now?
Families and full-time relocators who want space, pine forest and quieter beaches without leaving the Marbella postcode. For new developments, that buyer mix tends to keep demand resilient through the off-season as well as the summer peak.
Can foreigners buy a new development in Marbella East?
Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign buyers purchasing a new development in Marbella East or anywhere else in Spain. You will need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account. Budget approximately 10–13% of the purchase price on top of the headline figure (7% ITP on resale or 10% VAT + 1.2% Stamp Duty on new-build, plus notary, registry and legal fees).
Are new developments in Marbella East a good rental investment?
Long-let demand from families is strong year-round; short-let yields trail the west side. For new developments, that translates into licensed VFT short-let yields typically in the 5–7% gross range for well-located stock (with proximity to Río Real a meaningful driver of winter occupancy). Long-let yields run closer to 4–5%.
