Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hacienda Las Chapas walkable to the beach?

Some streets are walkable or cycleable to Las Chapas promenade or Cabopino, but many homes are up a slope—so a car or golf cart helps.

Are there new builds available?

Rare—most new activity involves architectural renovations rather than ground-up projects due to limited vacant land.

Does every villa have sea views?

Yes—it's quiet outside peak season, with necessary services nearby and easy access to Marbella’s amenities.
