Browse Costa Sunsets homes for sale across Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol.
We've spent twenty years on this stretch of the Costa del Sol, and we know La Finca de Jasmine plot by plot. When a villa or penthouse here is priced ahead of what it will resell for, we'll tell you, point you to the better-value model, and walk you through the reasoning so the decision stays yours.
“They found us a frontline villa that wasn't even on the open market. Smooth, honest.”
“Three viewings, no pressure, sound advice on schools. Best agency on the coast.”
“Bianca speaks Dutch, knew our notary, and introduced us to other Dutch families nearby.”
Within this gated community on the lower Benahavis slopes, the apartments sit across a handful of low-rise boutique buildings rather than one large block, and the ground floor homes are the ones people ask us about first. They give you the part of the scheme that matters most to a lot of buyers: you step straight out onto a private garden, often with the option of a plunge pool on the terrace, instead of looking down on one from a higher floor. Two- and three-bedroom layouts are the steady core here, with some larger ground floor duplexes if you want more space on one entry level. Built sizes generally start around 130 square metres of interior and climb from there, before you add the terrace and garden, which on these units is the real living room for most of the year.
Every home comes with its own secure garage space and lift access, so ground floor does not mean carrying shopping up a path — you arrive by car, take the lift, and you are home. As a guide, ground floor apartments here typically run from the high six figures into the low millions of euros depending on size, garden and outlook, usually below the freestanding villas on the same estate. They tend to suit downsizers leaving a Marbella villa, families who want garden space without a whole house to maintain, and lock-up-and-leave owners who like that the community handles the grounds. We'll always tell you which units are honestly worth their garden premium and which are priced for the view more than the home.
La Finca de Jasmine sits on the lower slopes of Benahavís, inside the triangle of land that locals call the Golden Triangle, where Marbella, Estepona and the white village of Benahavís meet. It is a single gated estate of roughly 269,000 square metres, built out in phases over several years, with its own clubhouse, spa and security at the gate. From most plots you look south over the golf and down towards the sea. Puerto Banús is around seven minutes by car; the blue-flag beaches at Guadalmina and Cortijo Blanco are a five-minute drive. That combination, quiet hillside above, coast and marina within easy reach, is what brings most buyers to look here in the first place.
This is a community of second homes and lock-and-leave residences more than a year-round village. Many owners are northern European, families and couples who want a secure base on the coast they can close up and leave between visits, with the garden and pool maintained while they are away. The full-service model, gated entry, club facilities, included grounds maintenance, suits people who fly in and out and do not want the upkeep of a standalone villa. You will also find golfers drawn by the Atalaya and La Alquería courses on the doorstep, and a steady number of buyers trading down in plot but up in convenience from the larger estates higher in Benahavís.
Villas lead here. The estate was conceived around detached contemporary villas, offered in a handful of set models with three and four bedrooms, private pools and Mediterranean gardens, so what you are choosing between is layout and orientation rather than a blank plot. The architecture is consistent across the estate: clean white volumes, floor-to-ceiling glazing, open-plan living that opens onto the terrace and pool. Alongside the villas you will find penthouses and so-called sky villas, the upper homes with roof terraces, sea views and in some cases private lift access, and a run of ground-floor apartments with gardens for those who want single-level living without the maintenance of a whole house. Specification runs to the level you would expect at this price: underfloor heating throughout, fitted kitchens with German-brand appliances, large-format glazing and quality bathroom fittings. Because the estate has been delivered in phases, finishes have evolved between the earlier and later homes, which is worth knowing when you compare a resale villa with a newer one.
As a guide, the detached villas here typically run from around the high one-millions to roughly three million euros, depending on the model, the phase and the view, with the sea-facing plots and the larger four-bedroom layouts at the top of that band. Penthouses and sky villas sit in a broadly similar range to the villas once you factor in the roof terraces and views. Ground-floor and garden apartments, where available, generally come in below the houses and are the lower entry point into the estate. Treat these as bands rather than fixed figures: position within the estate, orientation and the specification of a given phase all move the number, and we will always show you where a particular asking price sits against comparable homes.
Day to day, life here is split between the estate and the valley below it. The clubhouse carries the indoor pool, gym, sauna and a coworking space, which matters for owners who work remotely for part of the year. Just down the hill, La Alquería and Atalaya golf, with the Atalaya Golf and Country Club at the centre, give you golf within minutes; El Paraíso and the Guadalmina courses are close behind. For dining, Benahavís village, five kilometres up the road, is one of the best-known restaurant villages on the coast, while San Pedro Alcántara and Puerto Banús cover everything from the supermarket run to the marina.
For families, the two bilingual schools most people consider, Atalaya International School and Colegio San José, are both a short drive down towards the coast and take children through to eighteen. Getting around is straightforward: the A-7 coast road is minutes away and the AP-7 toll motorway shortens the longer runs, with Málaga airport around fifty minutes east and Gibraltar airport a similar distance west. Marbella centre is roughly fifteen minutes, Estepona around twenty.
Two honest points before you commit. First, this is a community-fee estate: the included security, grounds and pool maintenance are part of the appeal, but they are a recurring cost, and the level of service should match what you are paying, so understand exactly what the fee covers. Second, because the homes were built to set models across phases, two villas can look near-identical on paper yet differ sharply in value once you account for orientation, the privacy of the plot and how much sea you actually see from the living level. Those details decide resale, and they are exactly what we walk through with you on site. We keep a close eye on what comes up across the estate, new-phase homes and resales alike, and we will tell you candidly which plots and models we rate and which we would pass on at the current asking, arrange viewings for the time of day a villa shows best, line up the right lawyer and currency advice, and stay with you through completion. If you are weighing La Finca de Jasmine against the rest of lower Benahavís, or you simply want to know which orientation to hold out for, drop us a line.
Ground floor apartments at La Finca de Jasmine are mainly two- and three-bedroom homes, with some larger ground floor duplexes available. Interiors generally start around 130 square metres and rise from there, plus a generous terrace and a private garden at entry level. Many ground floor units offer the option of a plunge pool on the terrace, and all come with a secure garage space and lift access.
As a typical guide, ground floor apartments at La Finca de Jasmine generally run from the high six figures into the low millions of euros, depending on the number of bedrooms, the size of the garden and the sea or garden outlook. They usually sit below the price of the freestanding villas on the same estate, which is part of why garden-level apartments appeal to buyers who want the location and facilities without villa-level upkeep.
Ground floor apartments here tend to suit downsizers moving out of a larger Marbella or Benahavis villa, families who want direct garden access without maintaining a whole house, and lock-up-and-leave owners who value that the gated community maintains the grounds and shared facilities. The private garden, level entry and lift to the garage are the main draws, alongside the clubhouse, spa and gym and the short drive to Puerto Banus and the beaches.
La Finca de Jasmine is a gated estate on the lower slopes of Benahavís, in the Golden Triangle between Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís village. It is roughly five kilometres from Benahavís village and about eleven kilometres from Puerto Banús, around a seven-minute drive, with the blue-flag beaches at Guadalmina and Cortijo Blanco about five minutes away by car.
The estate is built mainly around detached contemporary villas with three or four bedrooms, private pools and gardens, offered in a small set of fixed models. Alongside the villas there are penthouses and sky villas with roof terraces and sea views, some with private lift access, and a number of ground-floor garden apartments for single-level living.
As a general guide, the villas usually run from around the high one-millions to roughly three million euros, with sea-facing plots and the larger four-bedroom models at the top of that range. Penthouses and sky villas fall into a broadly similar band, while ground-floor apartments, where available, sit below the houses as the lower entry point. Position, orientation and the phase a home was built in all move the figure.
Yes on both counts. The La Alquería and Atalaya golf courses, centred on the Atalaya Golf and Country Club, are within minutes, with El Paraíso and Guadalmina close behind. For families, the bilingual Atalaya International School and Colegio San José are both a short drive towards the coast and educate children through to eighteen.
La Finca de Jasmine is a community-fee estate, and the fee covers the gated security, maintenance of the landscaped grounds and clubhouse, and in most cases your private garden and pool. That lock-and-leave service is a large part of the appeal for second-home owners, but it is a recurring cost, so it is worth confirming exactly what is included for a given home before you buy. Standard Spanish ownership costs such as IBI property tax and utilities apply on top.
