Tierra Viva is one of the most talked-about new developments on the Costa del Sol: a gated community of 53 luxury villas in Benahavís, near Marbella, created by developer Dar Global with the design signature of Automobili Lamborghini. This guide brings together everything buyers ask about the “Lamborghini villas” in Marbella.
What is Tierra Viva?
Tierra Viva is a branded residential project: the villas are designed in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini’s design team and translate the brand’s language – sharp lines, hexagonal motifs, bold volumes and premium materials – into architecture. Dar Global describes it as its first European luxury development with Automobili Lamborghini, which makes it a unique asset in the Marbella market.
Where is Tierra Viva located?
The development sits in the hills of Benahavís, one of the most exclusive municipalities on the Costa del Sol and home to communities such as La Zagaleta and La Quinta. From Tierra Viva you are around:
- 10–15 minutes from Puerto Banús and San Pedro de Alcántara beaches.
- 15–20 minutes from Marbella’s Golden Mile and old town.
- A few minutes from golf courses such as La Quinta, Los Naranjos and Las Brisas.
- About 45 minutes from Málaga airport.
The villas: Esmeralda, Zafiro and Diamante
Tierra Viva offers three villa types, all with panoramic swimming pool, multiple terraces with Mediterranean views, gardens, direct car access and finishes such as polished marble, fine leather and glass:
