New builds on the Costa del Sol: find your dream home in Spain with Solkystmegleren

Dreaming of a brand-new flat, a modern villa or a home with sea views on the Costa del Sol? At Solkystmegleren you will find new developments and over 6,000 new and resale homes along the coast. You can now also explore the market directly on our new interactive property map.

The Costa del Sol is one of the most popular parts of Spain for northern Europeans buying a home in the sun. Around 2,900 hours of sunshine a year, good beaches, golf courses, fine restaurants and an international community make it easy to see why more and more people choose to invest here.

New developments are launched regularly and there are plenty of options, whether you want a flat by the beach, a villa with a private pool or views over the Mediterranean.

But how do you find the right development, and how do you know the developer is reliable?

That is where we come in.

New builds on the Costa del Sol: big opportunities in a growing market

Along the Costa del Sol there is a wide choice of new developments in popular areas such as Fuengirola, Mijas, La Cala de Mijas, Benalmádena, Marbella and Estepona.

Typical features of new builds here:

• Large terraces with views over the sea or the golf course.
• Well-planned layouts and energy-efficient construction.
• Communal pools, gyms and landscaped gardens.
• Underground parking and a storage room.
• Short distances to the beach, restaurants, shops and golf.

One advantage of buying new is that you can get in early. You can then often choose between several flats, floors, views and layouts before the building is finished.

Buying early can also pay off if market values rise during construction. Remember, though, that price growth is never guaranteed.

We work with some of the largest developers on the Costa del Sol

When you buy a new build in Spain, the choice of developer matters at least as much as the home itself.

Solkystmegleren works with several of the largest and most established developers on the Costa del Sol. Through our local network and knowledge of the market, we know who is behind each development, what experience they have and what quality you can expect.

Among other things, we help you check:

• The developer's experience and previous projects.
• Build quality, materials and technical solutions.
• The location and how the area is likely to develop.
• What is actually included in the price.
• The payment plan and expected completion date.
• That your stage payments are secured by a bank guarantee or insurance, as Spanish law requires.

Not all developments are equal. That is why it helps to have a local partner who knows both the developers and the market.

Our aim is for you to make a well-informed decision and feel secure throughout the purchase.

Search over 6,000 homes directly on the map

Location is often what decides it when buying a home in Spain. That is why we have made it easier to explore the Costa del Sol property market.

On Solkystmegleren.com you will now find a map-based property search with both new builds and resale homes, over 6,000 properties along the whole coast.

On the map you can:

• Search by area: find homes exactly where you want to live.
• Choose a price range: match the search to your budget.
• Zoom in: explore individual neighbourhoods and urbanisations.
• Find golf properties: see which homes are close to the golf courses.
• Compare new and resale: see different property types and locations in one place.

Whether you are looking for a new build in Fuengirola, a flat in La Cala de Mijas, a golf property in Marbella or a villa in Estepona, you can start your search on the map. If you only want to see new builds, go straight to new developments.

We want to make it easier to find the right home, not just the right listing.

New build or resale in Spain: which should you choose?

Both have their advantages. The right choice depends on your wishes, your needs and how you plan to use the home.

Advantages of a new build

• New standards and new materials.
• Little maintenance in the first years.
• The chance to choose your home early in the build.
• Modern facilities and energy-efficient solutions.
• The chance to buy in an area that is still developing.

Advantages of a resale home

• Quicker completion.
• More choice in established residential areas.
• You see the actual home before you buy.
• Restaurants, shops and services are already in place.
• Often more options in central locations.

The costs differ too. At the rates that apply in Andalucía as of November 2026, you pay 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD) when buying a new build from a developer. On a resale home you pay 7% transfer tax (ITP) instead. Notary, land registry and legal fees come on top. Rates can change, and reduced rates may apply in some cases. We give you an overview of the total costs before you decide.

Solkystmegleren works with both new builds and resale homes, so we think you should see the whole market before you decide. Sometimes the dream home is a brand-new development. Other times you find it in an established urbanisation with the perfect location.
