Summary

Hans Beeckman review

ALMAZARA FOREST + GARDENS is a development I am reviewing in Istán, comprising new-build apartments with forest views and stepped terraces.

With the terrace at ALMAZARA GARDENS, I would pause straight away: can you really sit here and relax with the sliding doors open, without being overlooked? That matters far more than a good first impression. For a quiet breakfast outside or a book in the shade, the terrace has to feel genuinely usable.

The apartments range from 98.45–110.27 m² built area, with 2–3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; terraces measure 31.63–145.27 m². Pay particular attention to how indoors and outdoors connect, and where overlooking or wind could affect how you use the space.

Listed prices range from €475,000 to €650,000. The median of the individual asking prices per built m² is €5,243. 9 units call for discipline: location and outdoor space first, price afterwards. That stops you focusing on the figure alone and forgetting how you want to live here on an ordinary morning or after a busy day.

The developer plans to complete ALMAZARA GARDENS in October 2027. The homes are not listed as key-ready; confirm the schedule for the chosen home.

A considered new-home choice in Istán

ALMAZARA GARDENS comprises new build apartments in Istán with forest views and stepped terraces. The current price list includes four ground-floor apartments and five penthouses, while the project renders show light-coloured buildings, stone-clad walls and planting against a mountainside.

The current ALMAZARA GARDENS price list offers four ground-floor apartments and five penthouses in Istán.

Space outside is a defining part of the offer. That balance gives the project particular appeal for buyers who place as much value on an outdoor dining area or lounge setting as on the interior layout.

The promoter’s renders show light-coloured buildings with stepped terraces, stone-clad walls and planting against a mountainous backdrop. The gallery also includes a communal pool and covered terraces with dining and lounge areas. A reservoir appears in the distance in one terrace render; this is not confirmation of the view from any particular available home.

Istán offers a more elevated base than the immediate coastal strip, while the listed routes still connect the development with Puerto Banús, local shopping, restaurants and golf. This is therefore a proposition for buyers who are comfortable driving for everyday errands and leisure, in exchange for a setting shaped by the surrounding hills.

A daily rhythm between terrace space and the hills

The terrace sizes invite a slower use of the home: a morning coffee outside, a table set for lunch, or an evening spent in a covered seating area. The visual material consistently gives outdoor rooms an important role in the way the homes are presented.

Natural-stone walls, planting and the wooded hillside shown in the imagery give the development a grounded, landscaped character. Rather than relying on a dense urban setting, the visual emphasis is on the relationship between the buildings, their terraces and the slope around them.

For owners, the practical rhythm is likely to combine quiet time at home with journeys out for beaches, dining, shopping and golf. It is a lifestyle that can feel pleasantly removed, but it is best suited to people who see driving as part of living in this area.

Homes designed around outdoor space

The nine available homes have 98.45–110.27 m² of built area and terraces of 31.63–145.27 m². Compare the interior and outdoor areas of each home; the largest figures do not necessarily belong to the same unit.

The project renders show covered terraces with dining and lounge areas, sliding glass doors and planting. The pool render shows entry handrails, a light-coloured surround and hills in the distance. These illustrations do not replace the plans and specifications for the selected home.

Who could ALMAZARA GARDENS suit?

It may also appeal to people who enjoy a hillside setting and want the coast, golf and dining options to remain accessible by car rather than needing to be immediately outside the door.

The range of terrace sizes can be especially relevant for buyers who want outdoor space for dining, relaxing or simply spending more of the day outside at home.

Price per m² at ALMAZARA GARDENS

The median price at ALMAZARA GARDENS is €5,243 per built m². Calculated per available home from the price list of 21 September 2026.

Price per weighted m². The price divided by the built area plus 50% of the terrace area. Garden and plot areas are excluded. The project figure is the median of the individual results for homes with sufficient area data. This gives a median asking price of €3,715 per weighted m², ranging from €3,580 to €4,243. The weighting is our comparison method, not an official floor area or valuation. It does not mean that every terrace is worth half as much as living space.

In the available price list, the median built area is 109.87 m² and the median usable area is 93.39 m². These medians are calculated separately across the nine homes. Both match the listed areas of B2-01-8, B2-01-9, B2-00-5 and B2-00-4; they do not automatically describe every home. The median asking price per usable m² is €6,168. Check the price list and floor plan for the areas of your chosen home.

Calculated from the Resales Online price list of 21 September 2026, per available home. These are developer asking prices, not completed transaction prices.

These are the homes that the developer currently has on the market according to Resales Online. Always request the current sheet, plans and availability for the concrete unit.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes ALMAZARA GARDENS in Istán?

ALMAZARA GARDENS in Istán offers new build apartments with forest views and stepped terraces. The developer plans completion for October 2027, so confirm the schedule for the selected home.

How many homes are still available at ALMAZARA GARDENS?

According to the price list of 21 September 2026, 9 homes are available at ALMAZARA GARDENS, with prices from €475,000 to €650,000.

How far is the beach from ALMAZARA GARDENS?

Puerto Banús: 8.6 km · 112 min walk; 8.4 km · 14 min drive. Routes from the project marker, checked with Google Routes on September 26, 2026. This is the shortest measured driving route to the beaches shown here. Travel times are indicative and may vary.

What comes on top of the purchase price?

For an illustrative budget for a first delivery of a new home in Andalusia, allow 10% VAT (IVA), 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), approximately 1% for notary and registration costs and approximately 1% for legal assistance: 13.2% of the purchase price in this example. The two 1% allowances are estimates, not statutory fees. The applicable taxes, taxable bases, reliefs and actual fees depend on the transaction; obtain individual advice and quotations.

What payment terms does the source list for ALMAZARA GARDENS?

The official Resales Online Payment Terms section lists: reservation €6,000 plus VAT (property price below €500,000); reservation €12,000 plus VAT (property price above €500,000); 30% at contract signing; 10% during construction; 60% at completion.

Can I get a Spanish mortgage as a non-resident?

Yes. Spanish banks do grant mortgages to non-residents, usually at a lower percentage of the purchase price than for residents and with conditions that vary by bank. The result depends on your income, tax residence and the bank's assessment. We can connect you with mortgage advisers who work with non-resident buyers.

What will the community fees cost?

Before reserving, ask about the community fees for the specific property: do they apply, what is the amount per month or per year, and which services are included? Also have it confirmed whether any additional contributions are planned. Request a current written statement or, if the amount is not yet final, a substantiated estimate. Do not rely solely on the project presentation.
