Top New Developments on the Costa del Sol in 2026: Views, Quality & Investment Potential

Hi, I’m Izidor. I’m 35, I’ve been living on the Costa del Sol for 8 years, and both of my kids were born here.

For the last 8 years I worked from home as a digital nomad, enjoying the Spanish lifestyle, the sun and the sea — and now I help people find the best new-build properties in my own neighbourhood.

In this series I’ll show you the top new developments on the Costa del Sol by:

• Build quality

• Views & lifestyle

• Investment potential (off-plan upside, rental demand, and exit strategy)

Today’s shortlist:

1. Evoque Residences – El Higuerón (Fuengirola–Benalmádena)

2. Emerald View – Mijas

3. 360º by Cordia – Between Fuengirola & Mijas

4. The Place by Alcazaba Lagoon – Casares / Estepona Coast

If you’re thinking of retiring, relocating your business, or investing for profit, these four projects are a very strong starting point.

i.: The prices, availability, floor plans and unit details listed in this article are based on the information provided when each project was presented to Alegria. These details may change daily due to sales, updated releases or adjustments by the developer.

If you’re thinking about retirement in Spain, bringing your business remote, or buying a profitable rental / flip opportunity, Evoque Residences deserves a serious look.

• Location: El Higuerón, between Fuengirola & Benalmádena, one of the most in-demand micro-areas on the Costa del Sol.

• Typologies: 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom Sky Villas & Garden Villas

• Design: Large terraces, private gardens, top-quality finishes, and a layout that feels more like a villa than a typical apartment.

Like many other new developments on the Costa del Sol, this one offers everything the modern person could want.

• Outdoor infinity pool with panoramic sea views

• Heated indoor pool for winter use

• Full gym, sauna & hammam

• Gourmet lounge for social events

• Co-working area (ideal for digital nomads and business owners)

• Kids’ playroom + community garden

This isn’t just a home — it’s a private wellness resort you own.

• Sky Villa – 1 bed – 97 m² – from 490,000 € (2 units)

• Sky Villa – 2 bed – 126 m² – from 550,000 € (28 units)

• Garden Villa – 3 bed – 203 m² – from 689,000 € (22 units)

• 52 homes, under construction

• Delivery: September 2025 (off-plan upside still available)

• Off-plan entry in a very established high-demand area
• Strong potential for year-round rentals (airport proximity, beach, golf, international schools)
• Great match for: investors wanting high-end renters (Scandi / UK / Benelux) and those planning to retire here later while renting in the meantime.

Last week I attended the introductory presentation of Emerald View — a premium green project with its own water resources, smart-home tech, and insane views.
It’s only 7 minutes from my own home, very close to Málaga Airport, with prices starting around 698,000 € and delivery by end of 2028.

• 15 blocks / 133 apartments

Mix of:

• 2- and 3-bed apartments

• Garden Villas with basement multifunctional areas

• Sky Villas with private rooftop pools and solariums

-Huge plot — roughly the size of 8 football fields

-All blocks staggered on a hill → unobstructed panoramic sea views (no future front-line buildings cutting views)

• Gated community with security + camera-controlled access

• Clubhouse with:

  • Indoor & outdoor heated pools

  • Sauna, hammam, fully equipped gym (TechnoGym)

  • Co-working area, concierge, rooftop solarium

• Paddle & basketball court, kids’ pools, playgrounds

• Big green park area with:

  • BBQ / picnic zone

  • Mini golf, yoga / play terraces

  • 3.8 km of walking/jogging paths

• Own water tank collecting rainwater for irrigation → lower community costs & greener footprint

• Smart-home system:

  • App-controlled A/C, underfloor heating, security, leaks/smoke alerts

  • Guest access via QR code for cleaning or visitors

High-spec interiors:

• Italian Elmar kitchens

• Miele + Siemens appliances

• Underfloor heating (water) + aerothermia

• Sound-insulated pipes & walls, tall ceilings (~2.70 m)

• 2-bed middle-floor from ~698,000 €
• 3-bed from ~826,000 €

• Garden units & Sky Villas from ~1.0–1.9M € depending on size/views

Payment plan:

• 10,000 € reservation (KYC / AML)

• ~20% on PPC (after license)

• 15% after ~6 months (structure)

• Another 15% after ~12 months

• 50% on completion (Q3–Q4 2028)

Estimated community fees: from ~500 €/month for 2-bed, considering all amenities.

• Positioned clearly at the upper-luxury segment → higher entry ticket, but appeals to HNW clients.

• Ideal for:

  • Buyers planning to use personally 3–6 months/year and rent the rest at premium rates.

  • Long-term capital growth: bigger upside if Benalmádena’s premium hill zone continues to consolidate as “the” luxury cluster.

If you want a villa-feeling in a gated resort with genuine panoramic views and are comfortable with a 2028 delivery, Emerald View should be on your shortlist.

If you’re looking for a property that balances design, sustainability, and strong returns, 360 Degrees by Cordia is one to study carefully.

This project is not “just another development” — it’s a very limited, boutique community next to one of the Costa del Sol’s most unique amenities: the Alcazaba Lagoon.

• Coastline with emerald–turquoise water and quieter beaches than central Costa del Sol.

Very strong for:

• Second homes + luxury holiday rentals

• Buyers who value privacy and “resort inside a resort” (Lagoon + own spa).

• Limited number of units → scarcity factor supports resale prices.

• Good match for investors targeting affluent Northern European families who want something more exclusive than the typical beachfront complex.

• Always compare mortgages early

• Use a lawyer—even if optional

• Factor 12–14% extra on top of property price

• Avoid paying deposits without legal checks

Buying a home in Spain should feel exciting — not stressful.
