Compare new-build apartments within walking distance of the beach in Benalmádena, from €1,000,000 to €1,500,000

MACAN BEACH RESIDENCES, MARINA GOLDEN BAY and CASATALAYA RESIDENCES each overlap this search bracket, though in different ways. MACAN’s full current range sits within it. MARINA extends to €1,750,000 and is close to Puerto Marina. CASATALAYA ends at €1,350,000 and offers larger homes, garden options, a heated indoor pool and gym in Torremuelle.

Three new-build developments in Benalmádena, with three different walking distances to the beach

MARINA GOLDEN BAY follows at 578 metres. For CASATALAYA RESIDENCES, the route is 1,354 metres, while its range includes the largest built areas and garden or plot options.

This is not a ranking. MACAN’s full current range falls within the search bracket; only part of the current ranges for MARINA and CASATALAYA does. Apartments, penthouses and duplex penthouses can also differ substantially in layout, outdoor space and price. We therefore never combine range extremes into a home that does not exist.

Hans Beeckman's view of these three projects

Macan Beach Residences

From the terrace at Macan Beach Residences, do not just look at the width; get a feel for where overlooking makes you hesitate and where you can truly relax. That makes these apartments in Benalmádena more personal than a single beautiful photo: breakfast by the sliding doors only feels good if the outdoor space works on an ordinary morning too.

Asking prices range from €1,040,000 to €1,145,000, at €7,268 per built m². The homes offer 136.28–165.85 m² of built area, with 3–4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; see how the layout fits your everyday life. 2 available homes make the comparison clear, but leave little margin for error.

It simply means the unit choice, view and amenities deserve extra scrutiny. If a beach feeling matters, this is a concrete advantage: a project must be no more than 1 is on foot and the drive takes 25 min. That way, an ordinary walk towards the sea can become part of your day.

With August 2026 on the schedule, you exchange waiting time for choice, but also for more uncertainty.

Marina Golden Bay

For buyers looking for comfort, new build quality and clear everyday usability, this project has something convincing from the outset. In the hall, pause for a moment: can you hear the street, the corridor or the neighbours, and does the home then feel quiet enough to leave your shoes, bags and a full day behind? Marina Golden Bay in Benalmádena is not only about new-build comfort, but also about the practical flow between parking, kitchen and living space.

Prices range from €998,000 to €1,750,000, with 90.15–125.25 m² of built area, 2–3 bedrooms and 2–4 bathrooms. The stated €11,078 per built m² helps place the finish and space in context. Because 5 homes are available, I would compare terrace, view, orientation and privacy for each home side by side. This difference calls for a concrete explanation for each home.

For everyday life, the coast is close enough for a spontaneous break outdoors rather than a planned outing. The beach connection is practical here, not just attractive on a map: a project must be no more than 1 is on foot and 25 min by car. With August 2026 as the completion date, you are partly buying into a future feeling; phasing and the bank guarantee need to be checked rigorously.

Casatalaya Residences

With a tape measure between the moving boxes, you quickly see which furniture you want and which dimensions really need to work. Casatalaya Residences feels less like an abstract plan and more like a place you can already picture arranging for your first evening. For €750,000 to €1,350,000, you can buy apartments in Benalmádena, with 138.90–206.00 m² of built area, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

An offering of 10 homes gives you choice, but also the risk of getting lost among the options. Put the plans side by side and think about how you want to leave home, come back and use your living space each day; the layout is what makes those carefully chosen pieces of furniture feel naturally placed later on. The asking price works out at €6,590 per built m².

This project is 16% above that; it is the first figure I would put alongside the unit choice. Completion in August 2026 gives you time to dream, but also reason to remain sharp on guarantees.

Development ranges side by side

New-build apartments in Benalmádena within €1,000,000–€1,500,000: a development range is not a home

It does not mean that every home falls within that bracket. We therefore show each full dynamic development range and distinguish between home type, bedrooms, bathrooms, built area, separately stated interior area, terrace and garden.

Google Maps · exact project locations · individual routes

MACAN BEACH RESIDENCES, MARINA GOLDEN BAY and CASATALAYA together on one interactive map

The map places each project at its verified coordinates and deliberately does not draw a zigzag route between the markers. Beside it, each project has a separate Google route to a named supermarket, restaurant, beach, golf course and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. To be selected as ‘within walking distance of the beach’, a project must be no more than 1,500 metres and 25 minutes away via a Google walking route.

Price and longer-term considerations

No return forecasts — just the differences that may matter over time

A marina address, a boutique development of sixteen homes, a heated indoor pool or a sea-view category does not guarantee capital growth. Each can, however, shape how a home is used and may matter to different buyers in future.

  • MACAN BEACH RESIDENCES: the shortest measured route to the beach, three- or four-bedroom homes, and a current project price range wholly within the search budget. Orientation and home type should still be confirmed for the individual property.
  • MARINA GOLDEN BAY: near Puerto Marina, with shops and the beach reachable on foot, and the widest project price range of the three. Only €1,000,000–€1,500,000 sits within this search selection.
  • CASATALAYA RESIDENCES: 138–206 m² of built area, garden or plot options, a heated indoor pool and gym. It has the longest walking route to the beach of these three projects. Request the applicable community charges for the individual home.
  • For each project: compare the particular floor, sun exposure, sightline, noise, energy information, rental rules, community charges and floor plan.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Which project has the lowest starting price?

Casatalaya currently has the lowest starting price: €750,000. That only describes the entry unit; view, terrace, floor level and position can change the real value.

Which project offers the largest built area?

Based on the current unit data, Casatalaya goes up to 206.00 m². For context: Macan Beach: 136.28 m²–165.85 m²; Marina Golden Bay: 90.15 m²–125.25 m²; Casatalaya: 138.90 m²–206.00 m². Built area is not the same as usable interior space.

Which project has the largest outdoor space?

Casatalaya has the largest stated terrace or outdoor area in this comparison: 72.40 m². The project ranges are: Macan Beach: 38.99 m²–44.21 m²; Marina Golden Bay: 21.25 m²–40.25 m²; Casatalaya: 22.80 m²–72.40 m².

Which project is cheapest per built m²?

By median price per built m², Casatalaya is lowest at €6,590. The medians in this comparison are: Macan Beach: €7,268; Marina Golden Bay: €11,078; Casatalaya: €6,590.

How do bedrooms and bathrooms differ?

The current split is: Macan Beach: 3–4 / 2; Marina Golden Bay: 2–3 / 2–4; Casatalaya: 3 / 2. Then check the exact unit, because one extra bedroom means little without layout, light and outdoor space.

Which beach distances are shown in this comparison?

According to the place cards on this page: Macan Beach: Beach Playa Malibu Palace · 561 m · 8-minute walk; Marina Golden Bay: Beach Playa de Fuente Salud · 578 m · 8-minute walk; Casatalaya: Beach Playa de Torremuelle · 1,354 m · 19-minute walk. Use this as route context; the exact unit choice still matters.

Can I combine the lowest price with the largest terrace?

Not automatically. Price range, terrace range and m² range come from the current units per project, but not necessarily from the same home. Check the specific unit.

Which costs should I check besides the price?

For the specific unit, check VAT, stamp duty, notary, registration, legal support, community fees and what is or is not included in the price.
