Landscaping & Garden Design in Los Flamingos

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the unique topography and microclimate of the Costa del Sol Occidental demand a specialized touch, especially when dealing with the exclusive enclaves of Benahavís. When we undertake landscaping in Los Flamingos, we aren't just planting gardens; we are enhancing the architectural prestige of one of the most sought-after residential areas in Spain. With a resident population of approximately 1,200 people, this area offers a sense of privacy that is hard to match. Whether your property is nestled within the lush surroundings of the Villa Padierna Palace Hotel, situated in the elegant Royal Flamingos, or overlooking the greens of Los Flamingos Golf, our goal is to create outdoor spaces that reflect the luxury of the interior. We understand the specific inland climate here, which can be slightly cooler than the shoreline of Alanda Club Marbella but requires robust irrigation strategies. Regarding investment, in Los Flamingos a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the hardscaping and the maturity of the specimens selected.

Regulations and Permits in Los Flamingos

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of any outdoor renovation in Benahavís. Unlike some neighboring municipalities, Los Flamingos falls under the jurisdiction of the Benahavís Town Hall, which currently operates under its General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU) and the newer LISTA (Ley para el Impulso de la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía) regulations. One significant advantage for residents here is that Benahavís generally offers faster license processing times than neighboring Marbella, making the administrative phase much smoother.

For most landscaping projects involving minor earthworks, irrigation systems, or planting, a "Declaración Responsable" (Responsible Declaration) for an "Obra Menor" is usually sufficient. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, such as building high retaining walls or large swimming pools, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" will be required. Furthermore, any external installations like pergolas or awnings must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates wind resistance and safety requirements for solar protection systems. We handle the technical documentation required by the "ordenanza municipal" to ensure your project is fully compliant and avoids any potential fines from the local authorities.
