New-build is much of what gives Benahavís its reputation — the modern gated developments climbing the hillsides above the La Quinta and Los Flamingos courses are the contemporary, glass-and-stone, large-terrace product that buyers picture when they think of new Costa del Sol apartments. Most genuinely new stock sits in Los Flamingos, the newer La Quinta phases and the El Madroñal fringe. It carries 10% IVA plus 1.2% AJD rather than resale ITP, taking all-in costs to roughly 12–14%, and brings the off-plan due-diligence layer — completion-date promises, the licence of first occupation, the structural-warranty paperwork — that resale buying does not. We walk you through all of it.
