AÍDA by Bentley Home: eight branded duplex residences on Marbella’s Golden Mile

Among all the prestigious brands arriving on Marbella's Golden Mile, few embody understated luxury and timeless craftsmanship quite like Bentley. AÍDA by Bentley Homes is the British marque's first residential project in Spain: an exclusive boutique collection of just eight duplex residences, fully furnished by Bentley Home, set within a private gated enclave just a short walk from the iconic Puente Romano and Marbella Club resorts.

The development forms part of the new generation of branded residences redefining Marbella's Golden Mile, alongside landmark projects such as EPIC Marbella by Fendi Casa and Design Hills by Dolce & Gabbana. However, its far more intimate scale and comparatively accessible entry price give AÍDA a distinctive position in the market. For buyers seeking the prestige of a globally recognised luxury brand combined with privacy, exceptional design and one of the Costa del Sol's most desirable addresses, it is a development well worth understanding in detail.

AÍDA is an exclusive gated development of just eight duplex residences on Marbella's Golden Mile, located only around 50 metres from the renowned Puente Romano Beach Resort. Each home is fully furnished by Bentley Home, bringing the British luxury brand's distinctive design philosophy into a residential setting. Boutique by design, AÍDA comprises just eight residences rather than a large-scale development, offering a level of exclusivity and privacy that is increasingly rare on one of Europe's most prestigious residential addresses.

Set within a secure, controlled-access enclave, the residences provide a peaceful retreat while remaining just moments from the Golden Mile's celebrated beach clubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury boutiques and world-class wellness facilities. It is a location that effortlessly combines tranquillity with immediate access to Marbella's most vibrant lifestyle.

Two qualities set AÍDA apart. The first is its association with Bentley Home, whose interiors showcase the brand's unmistakable aesthetic through hand-finished leather, exquisite woods, refined materials and exceptional craftsmanship. The second is its rarity. With only eight residences, AÍDA offers a level of exclusivity seldom found on the Golden Mile, while its entry price remains below that of Marbella's headline branded villas, making it one of the most accessible opportunities to own a branded luxury residence in one of the coast's most sought-after locations.

The defining feature of AÍDA is its Bentley Home interior, setting it apart from every other branded residence on the Costa del Sol. Rather than simply lending its name, Bentley brings the craftsmanship and design philosophy that have defined the marque for more than a century into the home. Anyone familiar with a Bentley will immediately recognise the signature elements: hand-stitched leather, diamond quilting, exquisite wood veneers and marquetry, precision metal detailing, and a sense of effortless refinement where every surface feels meticulously crafted and every space exudes quiet luxury.

Created in collaboration with Luxury Living Group, the interiors faithfully translate this automotive heritage into a residential environment. The same uncompromising attention to materials, craftsmanship and comfort that defines a Bentley Continental GT is reflected in every piece of furniture, every finish and every detail throughout the home.

Bentley Home furnishings feature throughout the residences, including iconic pieces such as the Ashford modular sofa, the Richmond bed and the Fenon dining table, complemented by rich timber finishes, premium natural stone and leather crafted to the exacting standards associated with the automotive world. The result is an elegant fusion of British sophistication and Italian craftsmanship, where luxury is expressed through impeccable proportions, exceptional materials and flawless execution rather than overt branding.

Because every residence is delivered fully furnished by Bentley Home, AÍDA offers a genuinely turnkey lifestyle. Buyers are not simply acquiring a beautifully designed duplex on Marbella's Golden Mile; they are investing in a complete living environment shaped by one of the world's most respected luxury brands, where craftsmanship, comfort and timeless design come together as a single, coherent vision.

AÍDA comprises just eight duplex residences, divided into two distinctive collections. Four are garden duplexes, where expansive ground-floor living spaces open directly onto private terraces, landscaped gardens and swimming pools, with built areas of approximately 569 square metres. The remaining four are penthouse duplexes, elevated above the Golden Mile and crowned by private rooftop solariums with swimming pools, enjoying panoramic views across the Mediterranean and the iconic La Concha mountain. These residences offer around 442 square metres of built space.

Each home features three or four en-suite bedrooms, generous open-plan living and dining areas, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that fills the interiors with natural light while creating a seamless connection between the indoor spaces and the surrounding terraces. The architecture is designed to maximise Marbella's year-round climate, allowing everyday living to flow effortlessly between inside and out.

Every residence includes a private swimming pool, secure underground parking and a dedicated storage room, while the penthouse collection adds an exclusive rooftop solarium that provides an additional outdoor living space with spectacular views. Whether choosing a garden residence or a penthouse, the defining characteristics remain the same: exceptional space, abundant natural light, complete privacy and interiors finished throughout to the exacting standards of Bentley Home.

One of AÍDA's most compelling features, and one that perfectly reflects the Bentley philosophy, is the opportunity to create a home that is genuinely personal. Much like commissioning a Bentley Continental GT, buyers do not simply select a finished product; they have the opportunity to tailor many aspects of the residence to their own tastes. Bespoke craftsmanship has always been central to the Bentley identity, with every vehicle carefully configured around its owner's preferences, from the choice of leather and wood veneers to the stitching, metal finishes and countless finer details. AÍDA brings that same philosophy into the world of luxury living.

Purchasing during the construction phase allows owners, working alongside Bentley Home, to choose from an exclusive palette of premium materials, including natural stones, fine woods, leathers, metals, fabrics and colour schemes. The objective is not to reproduce a showroom interior, but to create a residence that reflects each owner's individual lifestyle while remaining faithful to Bentley Home's unmistakable design language.

As a result, two residences of the same layout can have entirely different personalities. As with any bespoke creation, the earlier buyers become involved in the process, the greater the scope for personalisation. Those wishing to tailor their home should therefore begin these discussions at the earliest stage of the purchase and ensure that every agreed specification is clearly documented within the sales contract.

AÍDA has been conceived for effortless, lock-and-leave living in one of Marbella's most exclusive settings. The boutique development is fully gated with controlled access, allowing owners to enjoy complete peace of mind whether they are in residence or away for extended periods. Beneath its refined design lies equally impressive substance, with advanced home automation, energy-efficient construction, high-performance acoustic insulation and carefully selected natural materials contributing to exceptional comfort throughout the year.

Every residence is designed around generous private outdoor spaces, whether landscaped gardens with swimming pools or expansive rooftop solariums, creating a seamless extension of the interior and allowing much of everyday life to unfold outdoors in complete privacy. At the same time, the best of Marbella's Golden Mile is just a short stroll away. The beaches, the renowned Puente Romano and Marbella Club resorts, world-class wellness facilities, tennis clubs, luxury boutiques and some of Spain's finest restaurants are all within walking distance.

The result is a lifestyle that combines the tranquillity and security of an intimate boutique enclave with the energy, convenience and sophistication of Marbella's most prestigious address.

AÍDA enjoys one of the most prestigious addresses in Marbella, occupying a prime position on the Golden Mile just 50 metres from the iconic Puente Romano Beach Resort and only moments from the legendary Marbella Club Hotel, with the beach just a short stroll away. This celebrated stretch of coastline, extending for approximately five kilometres between Marbella town and Puerto Banús, has long been regarded as the Costa del Sol's most desirable residential corridor. Renowned for its exceptional microclimate, it combines palm-lined avenues, golden beaches, Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury boutiques, exclusive beach clubs, world-class sports facilities and elegant private residences in a setting that is both sophisticated and effortlessly relaxed.

From AÍDA, Puerto Banús can be reached in around five minutes by car, while Marbella's charming Old Town lies just a few minutes in the opposite direction. Málaga International Airport is approximately 35 to 40 minutes away via the AP-7 motorway, making the development exceptionally well connected for international owners. Unlike Marbella's hillside communities, the Golden Mile offers a truly walkable lifestyle where many of the area's finest restaurants, hotels, wellness centres and leisure facilities can be enjoyed without needing to drive. That unique combination of convenience, prestige and enduring desirability is one of the key reasons why the Golden Mile consistently remains one of the strongest-performing residential markets in southern Europe.

Many buyers considering the Golden Mile also explore nearby Nueva Andalucía, just a few minutes inland, where larger villas and some of Marbella's finest golf courses offer a different lifestyle while remaining close to Puerto Banús. If you are comparing both areas, we recommend exploring our complete selection of properties for sale in Nueva Andalucía alongside the exceptional opportunities available on the Golden Mile.

AÍDA forms part of a select collection of branded residences that have transformed Marbella's Golden Mile into one of Europe's leading destinations for luxury design-led living, and buyers at this level will often compare them side by side. What sets AÍDA apart is its boutique scale, its exceptional location just steps from the beach and the Puente Romano Resort, and a more accessible entry price than many of Marbella's headline branded developments. For buyers seeking the prestige of an internationally recognised luxury brand without compromising on location or exclusivity, it occupies a particularly distinctive position within the market. The table below illustrates how AÍDA compares with Marbella's other landmark branded residences.

Indicative positioning for orientation only; format, status and price move with the specific home and the market.

AÍDA occupies the upper end of Marbella's luxury residential market while offering a comparatively accessible entry point for a branded residence on the Golden Mile. Prices start at approximately €3.45 million for the garden duplexes, while the skyline penthouse duplexes begin at around €3.95 million. The final price of each residence depends on factors such as its position within the development, internal layout, built area, outdoor spaces and views.

As with all new-build properties in Spain, buyers should also allow for the applicable purchase costs. In Andalusia, these typically include 10% VAT (IVA), approximately 1.2% Stamp Duty (AJD), together with notary, Land Registry and legal fees. In practice, it is sensible to budget an additional 11% to 13% on top of the purchase price. For a detailed explanation of all taxes and acquisition costs, see our Buying Property in Spain Guide.

With only eight residences available and strong early demand, availability is naturally very limited. Buyers interested in a particular home should confirm current pricing and availability directly, as both may change during the course of sales. Given the project's exclusivity, those wishing to secure the widest choice of residences and personalisation options are well advised to act early.

AÍDA is being sold off plan, with completion currently expected in 2028, making careful due diligence particularly important. As with any off-plan purchase in Spain, independent legal advice is essential. Buyers should confirm the construction timetable, the contractual completion date and the staged payment schedule, while ensuring that all advance payments are protected by the appropriate bank guarantees. It is equally important to have an independent lawyer verify the developer's licences, planning documentation and track record before committing to the purchase.

The interior specification also deserves close attention. Every residence is designed and furnished by Bentley Home, but buyers should establish precisely what is included in the purchase price and which elements form part of any optional upgrades or bespoke packages. Bentley Home also offers an exclusive furniture package, with prices understood to start at around €300,000 plus VAT, depending on the final specification, so it is advisable to obtain a detailed inventory and written confirmation of everything included before signing the contract.

As with all new-build properties in Spain, buyers should also budget for 10% VAT (IVA) and approximately 1.2% Stamp Duty (AJD), together with the usual notary, Land Registry and legal fees. For a comprehensive explanation of the purchasing process, our Buying Property in Marbella Guide provides a detailed overview, and we would be delighted to prepare a personalised breakdown of the total acquisition costs for any specific residence.

The purchase price is only one part of the overall investment, and often the only figure highlighted in most property listings. Equally important is understanding the ongoing cost of ownership. Buyers should budget realistically for the annual IBI (local property tax), refuse collection charges, community fees for a secure gated development with shared services and maintenance, utilities, insurance and the upkeep of a residence of more than 500 square metres with its own private pool and landscaped outdoor areas.

For international buyers, it is also worth remembering that non-resident owners are generally liable for Spain's Non-Resident Income Tax, even if the property is never rented out.

None of these costs are unusual for a luxury home of this calibre, but having a clear picture of them before purchasing allows you to make a fully informed decision and avoid unexpected expenses later. We would be pleased to prepare a personalised annual ownership budget for any specific residence, providing a realistic estimate of all the recurring costs associated with owning a home at AÍDA.

With just eight residences on Marbella's Golden Mile, AÍDA offers a level of scarcity that is increasingly difficult to find in one of Europe's most established prime residential markets. Branded residences have consistently achieved a premium over comparable non-branded properties, supported by strong international demand, global brand recognition and limited supply. In Marbella, where the best addresses continue to attract high-net-worth buyers from around the world, these factors have helped reinforce the long-term appeal of this segment.

AÍDA's particular strength lies in its unique combination of an internationally recognised luxury brand, an intimate boutique scale and an exceptional Golden Mile location, all at an entry price that remains below Marbella's flagship branded villas. For buyers seeking exclusivity without entering the highest tier of the villa market, it represents a distinctive proposition with broad international appeal.

That said, as with any prime property purchase, the individual residence is ultimately as important as the brand itself. The specific layout, position within the development, orientation, views and outdoor spaces will all have a significant influence on both lifestyle and long-term value. It is also worthwhile comparing AÍDA with the finest non-branded luxury apartments and duplexes in the same location and price range, as this often provides the clearest perspective on the premium associated with the Bentley Home name and the overall value proposition.

For many international buyers, purchasing the property is only one part of the journey. Relocating to Spain often raises important questions about residency and taxation, and the legal landscape has changed in recent years. Spain's Golden Visa programme, which previously granted residency through qualifying property investments, ended in April 2025, meaning that buying a home no longer provides a pathway to residency in itself.

Those wishing to make Spain their home now typically explore alternative options, such as the Non-Lucrative Visa or the Digital Nomad Visa, depending on their personal circumstances. Buyers who become Spanish tax residents may also be eligible for the Special Expat Tax Regime, commonly known as the Beckham Law, which can provide favourable tax treatment on certain types of income for a limited period.

As immigration and tax rules are highly individual and subject to legislative change, they should always be considered with the guidance of qualified legal and tax professionals. The information provided here is intended as a general overview rather than personalised advice. If required, we would be pleased to introduce you to experienced independent immigration lawyers and tax advisers who specialise in assisting international buyers relocating to Spain.

Many presentations of a project like AÍDA simply repeat the developer's brochure. A more balanced assessment is far more valuable. AÍDA's appeal rests on three key strengths: the exceptional Bentley Home interiors, the exclusivity of a boutique development with just eight residences, and one of the finest addresses on Marbella's Golden Mile, only moments from the Puente Romano Resort. Combined with an entry price below Marbella's branded villa developments, it occupies a distinctive position within the luxury market.

At the same time, buyers should approach the opportunity with a clear understanding of what they are purchasing. AÍDA offers spacious duplex residences rather than standalone villas, so it appeals to a different lifestyle. Buyers seeking a large private estate with extensive grounds may find other options more suitable, while those who value security, convenience and a lock-and-leave lifestyle are likely to appreciate the concept.

As with any branded residence, part of the purchase price reflects the prestige, design and international recognition of the Bentley name. It is therefore sensible to compare AÍDA not only with other branded developments, but also with the finest non-branded duplexes and apartments on the Golden Mile, where the relative value proposition often becomes clearer. Finally, because the development is being sold off plan with completion expected in 2028, buyers should ensure that all the usual legal protections, contractual milestones and financial guarantees are firmly in place.

None of these considerations detract from AÍDA's appeal. On the contrary, understanding them is the best way to make a well-informed purchase and choose the residence that best suits your lifestyle and long-term objectives.

A short checklist for your viewing:

• Confirm which of the two home types, and which specific unit, floor and aspect you are buying, and check the views in person.
• Establish exactly what the price includes, in particular the Bentley Home furniture package and what it covers.
• Confirm the project's building licence, the bank guarantees and a clear completion date.
• Ask for the full annual running costs and community fees in writing.
• Compare it honestly against strong unbranded duplexes on the same stretch of the Golden Mile.

AÍDA is ideally suited to buyers seeking a turnkey luxury residence that combines exceptional design, the prestige of an internationally recognised brand and one of Marbella's most sought-after addresses, without the scale or price tag of a branded villa. It is particularly well suited as a lock-and-leave second home, thanks to its secure gated setting and fully furnished Bentley Home interiors, while also offering an outstanding full-time residence for those who want to enjoy the Golden Mile lifestyle within walking distance of the beach, Puente Romano, Marbella Club and the area's finest restaurants, boutiques and wellness facilities.

The development will also appeal to buyers who view branded residences as long-term lifestyle assets, valuing the rarity of just eight homes, the strength of the Bentley name and the enduring desirability of a prime Golden Mile location. Its design language is likely to resonate most with those who appreciate Bentley's understated approach to luxury, where craftsmanship, quality of materials and timeless elegance take precedence over overt branding.

AÍDA may be less suitable for buyers whose priority is a detached villa on a large private plot or for those who wish to create a completely bespoke interior from the ground up. Much of the project's appeal lies in the fact that Bentley Home has already curated a complete living environment, making it an ideal choice for buyers who appreciate a coherent, fully realised design rather than a blank canvas.
