Marbella has long been celebrated as a destination of luxury, sun-soaked sophistication, and elite living. Now, it has caught the eye of global fashion icons not just for flagship boutiques, but as a prime canvas for their expansion into luxury real estate. Following the success of EPIC by FENDI Casa, another famous fashion brand is set to make waves in Marbella with their newest branded residence project: Dolce & Gabbana Design Hills.

After launching the branded La Cabane Beach Club & Restaurant, Dolce & Gabbana’s involvement in Marbella deepens with Dolce & Gabbana Design Hills —  five luxury residential blocks just a 10-minute walk from the iconic beaches of the Golden Mile. The project has officially received its building license, with construction about to begin. 

Branded residences have transformed real estate in cities like London, Miami, and Dubai — and Marbella is now joining the ranks. With the triumph of EPIC by FENDI Casa, local and international buyers are demanding more. Dolce & Gabbana Design Hills delivers an unparalleled blend of high-end fashion, lifestyle, and design in a privileged location. 

Beyond branded interiors, the project features a world-class ecosystem: 

• Private Owners’ Club 

• Pool Club 

• Gourmet Restaurant 

• French Bakery 

• Beauty Salon 

• Barber Shop 

• Luxury Boutique 

This exclusive gated community will redefine luxury living in Marbella. Residents of Dolce & Gabbana Design Hills will enjoy amenities typically found only in five-star resorts: 

• Indoor & outdoor padel courts 

• State-of-the-art fitness center 

• Open-air wood gym 

• Boxing ring (adults & children) 

• Golf simulator and mini golf 

• Outdoor basketball court 

• Yoga and Pilates (indoor/outdoor) 

• Indoor football court with 5x5 artificial turf 

• Meditation room 

• Full-service spa (hamman, Nordic sauna, hydrotherapy, etc.) 

• Massage and wellness center 

Dolce & Gabbana Design Hills ensures its residents enjoy the pinnacle of hospitality: 

• 24-hour security 

• Concierge desk and VIP lifestyle services 

• Valet parking 

• Private chef experiences 

• Indoor & outdoor lounges with lifestyle hosts 

Strategically located in the heart of Marbella's Golden Mile, the residences are: 

• 3 minutes from Puente Romano 

• 10 minutes’ walk from the beach and Puente Romano 

• Easily accessible from Marbella town or Malaga Airport 

With 93 exclusive residences, each unit is a celebration of Mediterranean lifestyle fused with iconic Italian design. Homes offer 2–5 bedrooms with interiors ranging from 280m2 to over 900m2, fully furnished by Dolce & Gabbana Casa. The standout penthouse reaches an impressive 3,000m2 built area. 

Design features include: 

Majolica patterns in green & blue

Ceramic ‘mojarabie’ modules on facades 

Floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views 

Marble finishes in common areas 

Five unique stones sourced from five countries 

Signature D&G restaurant with bespoke interiors 

Interior options from maximalist D&G to serene neutral luxury 

Penthouse with over 3.000 m2 built size 

Due to exclusivity, full price-list is only available upon private consultation – but starting price is at 4.975.000 EUR and most expensive crossing the 30.000.000 EUR mark. However, 30% of the units have already been reserved. A price increase is expected soon. 

With growing demand, Marbella’s off-plan luxury market is booming. Design Hills offers not only exceptional real estate but a chance to buy into a global lifestyle brand, making it a unique asset with high appreciation potential. 

• Fully branded and backed by Dolce & Gabbana 

• Exclusive location with unmatched amenities 

• Designed for both lifestyle and capital appreciation 

• Ideal for holiday residences 

Unlike most licensed branding projects, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are personally involved. From architectural choices to landscaping and materials, this project is their vision come to life. 

Design Hills is not just another branded residence—it’s an immersive experience shaped by two of the world’s most celebrated designers. 

Located next door, EPIC by FENDI has completed three phases with resale options available: 

• Duplex Sky Villa

• 2 penthouses (off-market, by request) 

Built by the same developer, EPIC features resort-style living with: 

• Basketball court 

• Golf simulator 

• Pilates studio 

• Jiu-jitsu & boxing area 

• Outdoor tennis, pickleball, padel 

• 5-star spa and 2 restaurants (under construction) 

Beneath EPIC’s Phase 2 & 3 lies the Karl Lagerfeld Villas project — 4 futuristic villas, 2 already sold. The vision was curated by Karl’s creative team, incorporating subtle fashion elements into architectural form. 

Marbella is undergoing a quiet transformation. While luxury and leisure still reign, the city now embraces well-being, fitness, and longevity. 

Dolce & Gabbana Design Hills, EPIC, and Karl Lagerfeld Villas all highlight this shift: 

• Wellness spas & gyms 

• Yoga, meditation, and sports zones 

• Access to healthy restaurants, green spaces, and nature 

This is Marbella reimagined—not just as a holiday destination, but a lifestyle investment in wellness and design.
