TOP 5 LUXURY New Builds on the Costa del Sol OVER €1M | Ranked by Local Experts!

When it comes to luxury real estate in Spain, few areas compete with the Costa del Sol. And if you’re in the market for something exceptional—homes priced above €1 million—this region offers an unmatched selection of exclusive new builds. But with so many projects launching, how do you separate the best from the rest?

In this third episode of our mini-series on new builds, Hi Homes’ own Kian and Sam—local experts with over 14 years of combined experience—reveal their Top 5 luxury new developments over €1M, based on firsthand knowledge, quality, design, and lifestyle appeal. Whether you’re investing or looking for a dream home, these developments stand out for all the right reasons.

🏡 #5: Essence Residences – Los Flamingos

Nestled in the prestigious Los Flamingos area, Essence Residences kicks off our list with style. Designed by the iconic Villarroel & Yodezeen studios, this boutique development combines contemporary luxury with architectural finesse.

Here, penthouses priced between €1.5M and €1.6M deliver expansive views, refined interiors, and access to one of the Costa del Sol’s most elegant neighbourhoods. With oversized tiles, sleek lines, and seamless integration into its surroundings, Essence is an excellent entry point into the luxury market—and a development that truly raises the standard for high-end living in Los Flamingos.

🏠 #4: Finca Jasmine – Benahavís

Moving inland to the green hills of Benahavís, Finca Jasmine offers privacy, panoramic views, and a variety of property types—from modern villas to expansive sky villas. This development brings tranquility and top-tier construction together, making it ideal for those wanting peace without isolation.

Sky villas start at €1.6M, while detached villas begin around €1.9M. Surprisingly, the sky villas are even larger than some of the standalone homes—perfect for buyers seeking space, elegance, and top-grade amenities in a serene environment. With a short 10-minute drive to Puerto Banús and 15 to Marbella Centre, Finca Jasmine is a solid choice for a second home or a primary residence that feels worlds away from the hustle.

🌄 #3: The View Marbella – La Quinta

If you’re looking for sleek, futuristic architecture with all the trimmings, The View Marbella is a must-see. Situated in La Quinta and built across three phases, this gated luxury complex offers everything from two-bedroom units to sprawling three-bedroom penthouses with endless sea views.

Phase 1 is key-ready, while phases 2 and 3 are currently underway, offering investment potential for early buyers. Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, a wellness centre, fitness suite, and concierge-style services—delivering a lifestyle more akin to a five-star resort than a residential complex. With prices starting around €1.4M for premium three-bed units, The View earns its name—and a high spot in our ranking—for delivering luxury and location in one striking package.

🏘️ #2: The Avenue – Nueva Andalucía

For buyers who want a villa lifestyle with community-style amenities, The Avenue in Nueva Andalucía is an outstanding option. Located in one of Marbella’s most sought-after suburbs, this rare new villa development offers gated privacy, generous plots, and the convenience of being within walking distance to everything.

Nueva Andalucía is a tightly held area, making new plots rare. The Avenue fills that gap with contemporary architecture, large floorplans, and shared luxuries often seen in apartment living—like communal pools, clubhouses, and 24-hour security. Prices begin at €4.5M and vary based on view and villa size. If your dream is a luxurious home close to golf, beaches, and Puerto Banús, this development delivers on all fronts.

🌟 #1: Design Hills by Dolce & Gabbana – Golden Mile

Topping our list—and redefining high-end branded residences—is Design Hills by Dolce & Gabbana, located on Marbella’s iconic Golden Mile. Walking distance to Puente Romano and moments from the sea, this development blends elite fashion and forward-thinking architecture in one spectacular offering.

With interiors and furnishings designed entirely by Dolce & Gabbana, each unit is a statement of luxury. Panoramic sea views, elevated plots, and state-of-the-art amenities including tennis courts, wellness areas, infinity pools, and gastro lounges create a residential experience unlike anything else on the coast. What truly sets it apart, however, is its proximity to the upcoming commercial promenade, which will transform the area into a high-end boulevard of Michelin-star dining and designer boutiques. This is more than a property—it’s an entire luxury ecosystem in the making.

Design Hills scores a perfect 10 for design, innovation, and prestige—earning its title as the Costa del Sol’s most exciting ultra-luxury development of 2025.

🧠 Expert Takeaway

Every development in this ranking offers a unique blend of features: location, luxury, views, and value. Whether you’re drawn to the tranquility of Benahavís, the exclusivity of the Golden Mile, or the rare urban convenience of Nueva Andalucía, there’s a new build here to match your lifestyle and investment goals.

As Kian and Sam noted, these are just five of many high-end projects shaping the future of the Costa del Sol. But each of these stands out for pushing boundaries and delivering on the promise of next-level Mediterranean living.
