Project analysis
Sotomar by the Sea comprises new-build villas with sea views within walking distance of the beach in Marbella, specifically in Cortijo Blanco. Villa 1, Villa 2 and Villa 4 are available in the reviewed list of four homes. The sold Villa 3 is excluded from price calculations and the current offer.
Villa 1 combines four bedrooms and four bathrooms with 488.31 m² built on a 889.06 m² plot. Villa 2 and Villa 4 each have five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 527.01 m² built. Their plots differ: 752 m² for Villa 2 and 888.15 m² for Villa 4. Matching internal figures therefore do not mean the same outdoor space.
The separately reported useful area is below the built figure. Compare useful areas on their own basis and ask how structural elements, circulation and other spaces enter each measurement. Only half of the terrace contributes to our supplementary weighted price comparison. The plot is not included in that calculation.
The description lists double-height spaces, a private lift across the levels, underfloor heating, air conditioning and home automation. Private gardens, pools, terraces and solaria provide different outdoor settings. East and southeast are listed as orientations; confirm the orientation and view of the chosen villa and its principal rooms.
The visualisations show white facades, timber accents, tall glazing and connections between living areas, terraces and pools. The aerial image is a development visualisation, not a current photograph of a completed neighbourhood. Shown furniture, outdoor kitchens and decoration are not automatically included. Use the specification of materials and included works to establish what the purchase covers.
The rhythm of life at Sotomar by the Sea
A morning by the coast need not begin with the car here. From Cortijo Blanco, a beach visit can be combined with a meal in the surrounding restaurants, while a private garden and pool await at home. Those are two different settings for outdoor time: the public coastal neighbourhood and the villa’s own space. Consider which you would use on an ordinary working day or during a holiday. For larger shopping trips, appointments and destinations beyond the neighbourhood, assess each route separately. Visit at different times too; opening hours and traffic will also influence how your day works in practice.
Space inside, room outside
Choosing between the three villas starts with the balance of rooms, useful area and plot. Villa 1 has four bedrooms; the other two available villas have five. An extra bedroom says little by itself about the size of the shared living space or the position of guest accommodation. Double-height rooms and a lift are described, so movement between floors deserves attention as well. Then consider how the garden, pool, terrace and solarium connect to the rooms you would use daily. The furnished images help explain the design, but the individual plans establish actual circulation routes and dimensions for each home.

Prices and purchase context
The starting price belongs to Villa 4, while Villa 1 has the highest asking price. Rather than compare only the extremes, prepare a budget for the villa that actually suits you. Alongside acquisition costs, consider finishes, garden maintenance, pool management and insurance. When buying during construction, payment stages and progress should be connected through clear contractual agreements. Ask who confirms that a milestone has been reached and how subsequent changes will be recorded. The calculator offers an adjustable financing example; personal lending terms and final costs require separate confirmation from your bank and advisers before a purchase commitment is made.
Living in Cortijo Blanco, Marbella
Cortijo Blanco is part of Marbella, in the coastal area by San Pedro de Alcántara. For everyday life, connections to the beach, restaurants and services matter as much as the municipality’s name. The routes below start at the development point and give each destination its own distance and time. Compare practical access with your routine: a beach walk, dinner out or an appointment calls for a different journey. Nearby-place counts are a snapshot from Google Places and Google Routes; opening hours and the available businesses can change.
Within a ten-minute walk, Google Places lists Restaurants and cafés: 12; Shops and supermarkets: 1, checked using Google walking routes on 7 October 2026.

Who could Sotomar by the Sea suit?
These villas may suit buyers seeking their own home and pool while also enjoying a walk to the beach. Four- and five-bedroom options allow consideration of guests, working from home and everyday household use. The lift is relevant when different floors enter that decision, without guaranteeing complete accessibility. A private garden and pool also require arrangements during absences. Buyers seeking a home without maintenance responsibilities should first obtain a realistic estimate for those tasks. For rental or investment use, permission, management and expected expenses remain separate matters to investigate alongside the purchase itself and the household’s own priorities for the property.

Example floor plan
Villa 2’s plan shows an open living, dining and kitchen area connected to covered terraces and the pool. One bedroom is on the ground floor; upstairs, two rooms are labelled as bedrooms. Below are a garage, office and recreation spaces. A drawn bed does not automatically confirm a room as a bedroom, so have the current sleeping layout reconciled with the offer. Area totals also have different scopes: the plan total includes outdoor space and is not indoor area. We retain the separate Resales price-list columns. The crop shows the ground floor; the full PDF also covers the basement, upper floor and roof terrace.

Travel times remain indicative; traffic, works and your precise departure point may affect the journey.
Is a floor plan of the villa available?
Separate floorplan documents are listed for the four villas. No reviewed example plan is included here. Request the current plan for Villa 1, 2 or 4, showing each level, lift access and the allocation of built, useful and outdoor areas.
What should I check for each home?
Villa 1 combines four bedrooms and four bathrooms with 488.31 m² built on a 889.06 m² plot. Villa 2 and Villa 4 each have five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 527.01 m² built. Their plots differ: 752 m² for Villa 2 and 888.15 m² for Villa 4. Matching internal figures therefore do not mean the same outdoor space.
What are the payment and completion plans?
Resales states a €50,000 reservation, followed by 30% at contract, 20% during construction and 50% at completion. Confirm how the reservation is credited, which taxes apply and what guarantees protect advance payments.

No specific completion date has been provided. Under construction; completion date not yet confirmed.
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.
Can I view a floor plan of SOTOMAR BY THE SEA?
Villa 2’s plan shows an open living, dining and kitchen area connected to covered terraces and the pool. One bedroom is on the ground floor; upstairs, two rooms are labelled as bedrooms. Below are a garage, office and recreation spaces. A drawn bed does not automatically confirm a room as a bedroom, so have the current sleeping layout reconciled with the offer. Area totals also have different scopes: the plan total includes outdoor space and is not indoor area. We retain the separate Resales price-list columns. The crop shows the ground floor; the full PDF also covers the basement, upper floor and roof terrace. Example floor plan.
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.
Why buy through an agent with an API licence?
Del Sol Prime Homes works under an API licence (Agente de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria). Our project data comes directly from Resales Online, the shared database used by Costa del Sol real-estate agents. You pay the same price with us as directly with the developer. Our fee is paid by the selling side.
How should you read the price per m² at Sotomar by the Sea?
The median asking price per built m² is €9,108, calculated across three available villas. Results range from €8,918 per m² for Villa 4 (€4,700,000; 527.01 m²) to €10,137 for Villa 1 (€4,950,000; 488.31 m²). Villa 1 has fewer bedrooms and less reported built area but a higher asking price. These differences alone do not explain the pricing: location, finishes and measurement methods require separate comparison. For the weighted price, we divide the asking price by built area plus half of the separately stated terrace. Garden and plot are excluded. The median is €8,344 per weighted m², ranging from €8,170 to €9,260. This is an illustrative comparison convention, not an official area measurement or valuation. All three available villas enter the calculation, with rounding applied to the results.
