New Developments for sale in Sierra Blanca
Marbella's gated ultra-prime hillside enclave.
About Sierra Blanca
Sierra Blanca is a fully gated residential urbanisation built into the hillside above the Golden Mile, with 24-hour security and panoramic sea views. It is one of the very few addresses in Marbella where buyers can find large modern villas with full privacy within minutes of the beach. The combination of security, views and proximity to central Marbella has made it a benchmark address for ultra-high-net-worth international buyers.
Typical price range: €3M – €25M
- 24-hour gated security
- Panoramic sea views
- 5 min to the beach
- Ultra-prime addresses
New Developments in Sierra Blanca, 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.
Sierra Blanca has effectively no new-build pipeline, almost all stock is resale, which makes the rare new project that does launch (typically a small contemporary villa or boutique apartment scheme) sell out quickly.
Ultra-high-net-worth international buyers prioritising security, views and walkability to the Golden Mile in equal measure. Strictly limited, fewer than 250 villas inside the gates and turnover is amongst the lowest of any Marbella urbanisation. Pricing sits at the very top of the Marbella price curve.

How much off-market activity is there for new developments in Sierra Blanca?

What does a typical new development in Sierra Blanca look like?
Large modern and Andalusian-style villas on plots of 1,500–4,000 m², with strict architectural controls inside the urbanisation.

Who is buying new developments in Sierra Blanca right now?
Ultra-high-net-worth international buyers prioritising security, views and walkability to the Golden Mile in equal measure. 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 Sierra Blanca?
Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign buyers purchasing a new development in Sierra Blanca 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 Sierra Blanca a good rental investment?
Premium long-let and short-let demand from senior expatriates and family offices.
