New build luxury villas near Marbella

Nueva Andalucía, Marbella — 26 new-build villas set on a hillside with sea and mountain views. The project, designed by architect Ismael Mérida, comprises three typologies across three levels plus a solarium and basement. Orientations are south, east, south-east and west, so each villa follows the sun throughout the day.

The development solves the problem of cars in a residential setting by routing all vehicular access through a subterranean avenue. From above, you see pedestrian pathways and landscaping rather than roads. Private carports and garages sit tucked out of sight beneath the houses, preserving the sense of a garden enclave.

Security is integral: a gated community with 24-hour surveillance and a guard at the single entry point. Only residents and approved guests can enter. The ratio of space to privacy is intentional — the single entrance maintains seclusion while the 26 units keep the community intimate.

Twenty-three villas (Typologies A and B, by GC-Studio and J. A. Flores) share a consistent, symmetrical footprint. The remaining three are Typology C — Signature Villas by Pedro Peña — built on double plots with private tunnels leading to garages. They offer four bedrooms on the upper level, one on the lower, and an entire ground floor given to open living spaces and the kitchen. Two have south-east exposure; one faces east.

Each villa can be upgraded with bespoke features — entertainment rooms, home cinemas, home gyms — but residents also share the communal SPA complex: an indoor pool, hammam, sauna and ice bath, plus a full gymnasium and manicured gardens.

If you are looking for a lock-up-and-leave villa with genuine architectural thinking and controlled access, this project is worth a viewing trip. Book a call to discuss the available units.
