Lomas de Paraíso

LOCATION

Lomas de Paraíso is set in a green, tranquil and sought-after area of the Costa del Sol, perfectly located for towns such as Estepona and Marbella and just 10 minutes from the luxurious harbour at Puerto Banus.

The nearby village of Benahavís itself is one of the wealthiest in Spain, with excellent municipal sports facilities. The beautiful town, set in a valley surrounded by hills, is also renowned for its restaurants which draw people from miles away, particularly on Sunday lunchtimes.

The Lomas de Paraíso development blends in discreetly with the beautiful natural surroundings and combines ochre-hued Mediterranean architecture with modern, luxurious interiors. The complex has fantastic views of the sea, mountains and green fairways of the surrounding golf courses, and nearby are the luxury hotels El Paraiso and the opulent, five-star Villa Padierna, with a spa, restaurant and tennis club.


THE DEVELOPMENT

Great attention has been paid to the design of the chic Lomas de Paraíso development - both in and out.

Of the 206 units, 96 are being built in Phases I and II, due for completion in early 2008.

All apartments are south-facing and either on the ground-floor with private gardens or attic apartments with large sun terraces. They have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a smaller third bedroom/study.

Two-bedroom apartments start at 436,000 euros for a 100m2 build garden apartment with a 23m2 terrace and 16m2 front garden. Prices rise to 710,000 euros for a 267m2 garden apartment including 133m2 terrace.


There are marble floors in the hall, lounge, dining room and bedrooms, and non-slipping stoneware floors in the kitchen and bathroom. Kitchens are fully fitted with all applicances including dishwaster, microwave, oven and washing machine, bathrooms have marble worktops, built-in mirrors and hydro-massage bath tubs, and apartments also benefit from air conditioning, satellite TV and a fireplace in the living room.

The apartments are set in beautifully landscaped, communal grounds with five outdoor swimming pools – one of them heated – and large gardens. There is also a gym with sauna and Jacuzzi on site.

This is a very safe, well-lit and secure complex with electric gates to the urbanisation. There are also garages at ground level and underground. There are flexible payment terms for prospective buyers at Lomas de Paraíso.
