It sits between Elviria to the west and the protected Dunas de Artola nature reserve and Cabopino marina to the east, with the Mediterranean immediately to the south and low, pine-covered hills rising just north of the coast road. In late September 2026 the State closed several A-7 accesses here, including the Golden Beach link and Carril del Relojero; <a href=\"\/nl\/blog\/a7-sound-barriers-exit-closures-marbella-estepona\/\">zie wat er aan de A-7 veranderde<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Within that area, Hacienda Las Chapas is a distinct gated urbanisation set in those hills &#8211; a guarded community of around 500 villas spread across roughly 8 square kilometres, developed from the 1960s and 70s onward. It&#8217;s what most agents mean when they refer to &#8220;Las Chapas&#8221; for security-conscious buyers, though the wider district beyond its gates is more mixed: freestanding villas, townhouses and some beachfront apartment blocks on quiet residential streets.<\/p>\n<p>The overall feel is settled and low-key by Costa del Sol standards &#8211; pine forest, generous plots and privacy rather than nightlife or beachfront bustle &#8211; while staying a short drive from Elviria&#8217;s shops, Cabopino&#8217;s marina and several golf courses. In October 2026 the Las Dunas plot on the beach at Real de Zaragoza was confirmed as the site of a St. Regis hotel and residences, due to open in 2031; see our <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/st-regis-marbella-las-dunas-resort-residences\/\">St. Regis Marbella uitlegger<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Las Chapas in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>Las Chapas is waar het grootste project aan de kust zal worden gebouwd. Op 20 oktober tekenden de ontwikkelaars van de Las Dunas kavel bij Real de Zaragoza, 16 hectare beachfront in Las Chapas, met Marriott voor een <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/st-regis-marbella-las-dunas-resort-residences\/\">St. Regis hotel met 169 kamers en 151 residenties<\/a>, een project van 500 miljoen euro met het hotel gepland voor 2031, en 69 procent van de site gaat naar openbaar gebruik inclusief een herstelde duin, een nieuw stuk kustpad en een voetgangersbrug naar Golden Beach. De A-7 afsluitingen van september, inclusief de Golden Beach verbinding, zijn in <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/a7-sound-barriers-exit-closures-marbella-estepona\/\">onze post over de wegwerkzaamheden<\/a>.

Hacienda Las Chapas trekt specifiek kopers aan die gated, bewakte veiligheid voor hun geld willen; de bredere straten buiten de poorten trekken een breder scala aan budgetten aan, van gepensioneerden in oudere villa's tot nieuwe kopers die bouwen of renoveren.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Information<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vliegveld:<\/strong> Malaga (AGP) 40 km \/ 32 min via A-7<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnd strand:<\/strong> Las Chapas strand, 5 tot 10 minuten rijden<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt:<\/strong> Elviria winkelcentrum, 8 min<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scholen:<\/strong> English International College, 5 minuten; Zwanen, 12 minuten<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnde golfbaan:<\/strong> Cabopino Golf, 5 min; Santa Clara Golf, 8 min<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ziekenhuis<\/strong> Ziekenhuis Costa del Sol, 12 min<\/li>\n<li><strong>Auto vereist:<\/strong> Ja, absoluut essentieel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Woningtypen:<\/strong> Villa's op grote percelen in Hacienda Las Chapas, plus townhouses en enkele appartementen in het bredere gebied<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pharmacy:<\/strong> Farmacia Optica Maria Jose Fernandez, Av.

Veel van het gebied ligt tussen pijnbomen op rustige straten, en de gated urbanisatie Hacienda Las Chapas in de heuvels heeft ongeveer 500 villa's op percelen van typisch 1.000 tot 4.000 m\u00b2 groot.<\/p>\n<h3>Wat is Hacienda Las Chapas?<\/h3>\n<p>A gated, guarded villa community of roughly 500 properties in the hills just north of the coast road, within the wider Las Chapas district. It&#8217;s a distinct, more exclusive enclave rather than the whole area.<\/p>\n<h3>Wat zijn huizenprijzen?<\/h3>\n<p>In Hacienda Las Chapas beginnen kleinere of oudere villa's rond EUR650.000 tot EUR1 miljoen, met de grootste zeezichtboerderijen bereikend EUR9 miljoen of meer. Prijzen in het bredere Las Chapas-gebied vari\u00ebren sterk afhankelijk van perceelgrootte en afstand tot het strand.<\/p>\n<h3>Is het ge\u00efsoleerd?<\/h3>\n<p>It feels rural in parts but is only 10 to 15 minutes from Marbella centre and a couple of minutes from Elviria&#8217;s shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n<h3>Zijn er winkels?<\/h3>\n<p>Zeer weinig binnen Las Chapas zelf. Elviria, net ten westen, is het dichtstbijzijnde commerci\u00eble centrum.<\/p>\n<h3>Is bouwen toegestaan?<\/h3>\n<p>Ja, hoewel perceelverhouding en bouwbeperkingen van toepassing zijn, en sommige omliggende grond is beschermd pijnbosgebied.<\/p>\n<h3>Is het strand toegankelijk?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes &#8211; Las Chapas beach and the Dunas de Artola sit on the coast side of the area. Hacienda Las Chapas, up in the hills, is a short drive from the sea rather than walking distance.<\/p>\n<h3>Zijn de wegen goed?<\/h3>\n<p>Hoofdwegen zijn prima. Sommige binnenstraten zijn rustiger doodlopende straten, wat bijdraagt aan de residenti\u00eble sfeer.<\/p>\n<h3>Is er openbaar vervoer?<\/h3>\n<p>Beperkt. Een auto is eigenlijk onmisbaar voor het dagelijks leven hier.<\/p>\n<h3>Is er een apotheek in Las Chapas?<\/h3>\n<p>Farmacia Optica Maria Jose Fernandez, aan de Avenida General Lopez Dominguez, bedient het gebied.<\/p>\n<h3>Waar is Las Chapas?<\/h3>\n<p>In het uiterste oosten van de gemeente Marbella, 12 tot 15 km van het stadscentrum, tussen Elviria en de Artola-duinen in Cabopino, met de A-7 erlangs en heuvels met pijnbomen erachter. Het centrum van Marbella is ongeveer 15 minuten met de auto, luchthaven M\u00e1laga ongeveer 32.<\/p>\n<h3>Wat is Las Dunas in Las Chapas?<\/h3>\n<p>De 16 hectare grote strandfrontkavel bij Playa Real de Zaragoza, tussen Golden Beach en Elviria, waar het St. Regis Marbella hotel en residenties zijn gepland: 169 kamers, 151 woningen, een investering van 500 miljoen euro, met het hotel gepland voor 2031. Onze St. Regis post volgt het project terwijl het vordert.<\/p>\n<h3>Welke woning staat te koop in Las Chapas?<\/h3>\n<p>Voornamelijk villa's op grote percelen onder de pijnbomen, sommige in de beveiligde Hacienda Las Chapas, plus appartementen dichterbij het strand. Op het moment van schrijven vermelden wij een villa met vijf slaapkamers voor ongeveer 5,9 miljoen euro en het Dunique project vanaf 5,2 miljoen.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Las Chapas een goed jaar plaats om te wonen?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, for people who want quiet and space and do not mind driving: the English International College is 5 minutes away, Elviria&#8217;s shops 8, the beach 5 to 10, and the hospital 12. It is residential rather than resort, and the pine forest keeps it cooler and quieter than the coast road suggests.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Las Chapas?
