53 freehold villas co-designed with Automobili Lamborghini Centro Stile, Los Jaralillos, Benahavís
Tierra Viva is the first villa development conceived through a formal design collaboration between Dar Global - the London-listed international luxury developer - and Automobili Lamborghini's Centro Stile design team. Fifty-three private villas occupy a gated hillside estate in Los Jaralillos, Benahavís, at an elevation that delivers uninterrupted panoramas toward the Mediterranean and the African coastline.
Three villa typologies - Esmeralda (4 bedrooms), Zafiro (5 bedrooms), and Diamante (6 bedrooms) - are complemented by the bespoke Painite Villa: a unique residence featuring an integrated car display pavilion within the living volume. All villas are freehold, positioned on private plots ranging from approximately 1,500 to 1,900 sqm, each with its own pool and landscaped grounds.
The project applies Lamborghini's design language with precision - angular geometries, Giallo Orione yellow accent detailing, and the ad personam approach to material specification that governs the brand's automotive programme. For qualified buyers, it represents a rare opportunity to own a freehold, branded residence in one of Marbella's most tightly restricted planning zones.
Each villa is designed as a resolved spatial sequence between interior and landscape. Ground-floor living volumes open fully to the pool terrace through floor-to-ceiling retractable glazing - interior and outdoor zones read as a single plane when open. Rooftop terraces carry infinity pools, outdoor kitchen provision, and an unobstructed horizon.
The Lamborghini design vocabulary is applied with precision rather than spectacle. Large-format marble, precision-cast metalwork in the Lamborghini palette, and proprietary furniture pieces - developed in coordination with Centro Stile - create interiors that reward sustained attention rather than immediate display.
Branded residences in the Marbella-Benahavís corridor are established, but a design partnership that delivers genuine Lamborghini Centro Stile input into the spatial sequence, material palette, and bespoke furniture is a meaningful differentiator. This is not a licensing arrangement - Centro Stile's involvement extends to the proprietary interior elements and architectural detailing specific to each typology.
Benahavís records consistently high residential transaction values within Spain, supported by restricted supply, an established UHNW buyer base, and sustained demand from Northern European, Middle Eastern, and Latin American purchasers. Branded residences in this market have historically demonstrated a price premium over comparable unbranded product at time of resale.
Freehold ownership is straightforward for EU and non-EU buyers, with 10% VAT and 1.5% stamp duty applicable on new-build acquisition. The 60/40 payment schedule (30% at booking, staged payments during construction, 40% at completion) provides capital deployment flexibility across the build period.
Dar Global is London Stock Exchange-listed with an international portfolio of branded residences across the UK, Spain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the Maldives. Previous brand partnerships include Aston Martin Residences, W Hotels, and Trump Organization. The Tierra Viva collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini represents the first formal design partnership with the Italian marque and the developer's first branded project in Spain.

Benahavís is a municipality situated 7 km inland from the Costa del Sol coastline and consistently ranks among the highest per-capita income municipalities in Spain. The hillside position at Los Jaralillos provides topographic privacy and panoramic sea views that are unavailable from lower coastal zones, while keeping Marbella and Puerto Banús within 10-15 minutes by road. The municipality has maintained deliberately restrictive planning policies for decades, limiting new residential approvals and supporting long-term scarcity in the upper segment.
The Los Jaralillos zone sits within one of the Costa del Sol's most established high-end residential corridors. The social environment is mature, international, and predominantly owner-occupied, with a concentration of gated communities and private golf estates. Benahavís village itself - a 5-minute drive - offers a compact selection of well-regarded restaurants and a distinct character separate from the coastal resort infrastructure.
Tierra Viva is the only villa development in Spain co-designed by Automobili Lamborghini's Centro Stile team - the same design division responsible for the brand's production vehicles. This is a formal design partnership, not a licensing arrangement: spatial planning, material specification, and bespoke furniture pieces all reflect direct Centro Stile input. Combined with a finite supply of 53 villas within a restricted planning zone, the project has no direct comparator in the current Costa del Sol market.
Benahavís is consistently among the highest per-capita income municipalities in Spain and maintains deliberately restrictive planning policies that limit new residential supply. The Los Jaralillos hillside position provides topographic privacy and panoramic Mediterranean views unavailable from lower coastal zones, while remaining within 10-15 minutes of Puerto Banús and Marbella's primary amenity infrastructure. The municipality's planning constraint is a structural support to long-term capital values.
The villas are suited to internationally mobile UHNW buyers seeking primary residence, secondary home, or investment ownership. The freehold title, Spanish legal framework, and four-level spatial programme - including private garage, gym, hammam, home cinema, and rooftop infinity pool - fully support primary use. The branded provenance and finite supply are also relevant to buyers managing luxury real estate portfolios for capital preservation.
All villas at Tierra Viva are freehold under Spanish property law, which permits purchase by non-EU nationals without restriction. New-build acquisition is subject to 10% VAT and 1.5% stamp duty on the purchase price. Buyers seeking Spanish residency as a consequence of the acquisition should consult legal advisors regarding current Golden Visa eligibility thresholds and non-lucrative residency visa options - these are subject to regulatory change.
Dar Global offers a 60/40 payment schedule: 30% is payable at reservation, a further 30% in staged payments during the construction phase, and the remaining 40% at completion and title transfer. This is a standard structure for off-plan new-build in Spain and provides capital deployment flexibility across the build period. All payment terms should be confirmed directly with the developer prior to reservation.
A formal rental management programme is not publicly confirmed at present. Buyers intending to generate rental income should confirm the available structure directly with the developer or their appointed agent before purchase. The Benahavís and Marbella area has an established market for high-end short-stay and seasonal rental, and gross yields on comparable branded product in this corridor have typically been in the 3-5% range, though individual outcomes depend on villa typology, management, and occupancy strategy.
Tierra Viva is scheduled for delivery in Q2 2026, with construction currently underway. Buyers entering at this stage purchase off-plan under the 60/40 payment schedule. The project is being delivered by Dar Global, an LSE-listed developer with a track record of completing branded residence projects across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Construction progress and handover timelines should be confirmed with the developer at the time of inquiry.
