Project analysis
QUINTESSENCE offers move-in-ready apartments with sea views in Marbella, including homes on different floors and penthouses. Position within the building deserves attention when choosing: examine the floor plan to see how the living space connects to the terrace.
QUINTESSENCE is a ready-to-move-into apartment project in Altos de los Monteros, Marbella.
This gives outdoor space a meaningful role in the choice of home: some buyers may value an everyday terrace for open-air meals, while others may be drawn to the larger formats for more expansive outdoor living.
The project visualisations present contemporary white buildings with glass balustrades, timber façade details and landscaped terraces. Pool areas, planted borders, cabanas and lounge settings form a consistent visual language across the available imagery, suggesting a communal environment designed around outdoor use rather than a dense urban streetscape.
This is a project for buyers who place readiness and usable exterior space high on their list. The trade-off is that Altos de los Monteros is a car-oriented area: beaches, shopping, restaurants and golf are reached by road rather than being immediately outside the door. That distance can suit purchasers looking for a more removed residential rhythm, but it should be considered in relation to daily routines.
The rhythm of life at QUINTESSENCE
At QUINTESSENCE, the day can begin on a terrace rather than in a corridor or busy town centre.
The visualisations focus on greenery, water and shared spaces: a large pool, sun loungers, cabanas and planted terraces. These are rendered images rather than photographs of completed communal areas, but they communicate the intended atmosphere of a landscaped residential setting.
Altos de los Monteros offers a different cadence from central Marbella. It is a setting where planning a drive for the beach, groceries or dinner is part of the day, while time at home can centre on the terrace and communal pool environment.
Space inside, room outside
The range gives buyers a choice between a more compact apartment layout and a larger home with additional bedroom capacity.
The terrace size is one of the clearest differentiators between the homes, especially for buyers who want to dine, relax or spend a greater part of the year outdoors.
The supplied visualisations show glass-balustraded terraces, planted communal levels and poolside relaxation areas. A rooftop scene also depicts a furnished terrace with a small pool or water feature and views towards the coast; no allocation of views or rooftop features to individual homes is stated.

The displayed price and area ranges come from the current Resales Online price list and apply to each property subtype. The lowest price and largest area do not necessarily belong to the same home. Missing areas are not supplied; request the plans and current availability for the specific home.
Prices and purchase context
The range reflects the different apartment formats and the variation in built and terrace areas.
As the project is listed as ready to move into, it may appeal to buyers who prefer an established handover position rather than a future completion timeline. Availability and the specific characteristics of an individual home should be discussed before making a decision.
Living in Altos de los Monteros
QUINTESSENCE is located in Altos de los Monteros, Marbella. The area places the project within reach of Marbella’s eastern coastal stretch.
The location is best approached as a driving-based base. Supermarket La Cuesta is 3.2 km away, around 7 minutes by car, while several beaches and restaurants are also accessed by road.
For buyers, the practical question is less about being in the centre of Marbella and more about whether the balance of residential calm, terrace space and car access fits the intended lifestyle.

Who could QUINTESSENCE suit?
QUINTESSENCE may suit buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into apartment in Marbella with substantial terrace space. The 2- and 3-bedroom formats can work for couples, smaller families and owners who regularly host visitors.
It can also suit purchasers who value a residential setting and are comfortable using a car for beaches, restaurants, shopping and golf. The verified routes show a practical connection to these amenities, but not a walk-everywhere lifestyle.
Buyers who see outdoor space as central to how they use a home may find the terrace range especially relevant. Those seeking a confirmed individual sea view, a beachfront setting or a specific communal feature should establish the details of their selected residence directly.

Their terraces measure 42.19 m² and 164.31 m² respectively. These are differences between two units, not evidence of what causes the price difference.

How far is the beach from QUINTESSENCE?
The nearest beach shown for QUINTESSENCE is Playa del Cable, 4.7 km away and about 11 minutes by car.
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 QUINTESSENCE?
The official Resales Online Payment Terms section lists: reservation €10,000.
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.
Can I still choose finishes?
QUINTESSENCE is key ready. Ask for the specific property which finishes are included and whether changes are still possible. Have any additional costs, the execution timeframe, and the agreements confirmed in writing before you decide.
