About this property

Overview

Altura 160 offers apartments of 103 to 127 square metres with two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Terraces range from 32 square metres up to 84 square metres, and the south-east orientation means morning sun across outdoor space large enough to use properly. The terraces are the real benefit here. The smaller apartments suit buyers who want a lock-up-and-leave base near golf courses, while the three-bedroom homes with the largest terraces work for families who spend extended periods on the coast. Layouts follow a standard pattern: an open living room with terrace access, a main bedroom with its own bathroom, and a second bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. The finish is turnkey, so you avoid the delay and cost of fitting out yourself, though this also means less control over materials and layout details.

The development sits within Los Jaralillos, a larger private estate in Benahavís, inland from the coast on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway. You share four communal pools, gardens and a concierge service with the existing urbanisation. The setting is elevated, with views over the golf valley towards Atalaya and El Paraiso courses, and across to Marbella Bay. Altura 160 itself consists of five low-rise buildings with twelve apartments each, so the density is low and the feel is quiet. San Pedro Alcántara town centre is a 14-minute drive, Puerto Banús 17 minutes, and the nearest beach also 17 minutes. Tramores Golf is 14 minutes away by car. The International School of Estepona is a 10-minute drive, which matters if you have school-age children.

This is not a beachside development. You need a car for everything: shops, beaches, golf, schools. The trade-off is space, quiet and outlook. The estate is gated and private, which some buyers value highly and others find limiting. If you want to walk to a café or a restaurant, this is the wrong place.

Location

Benahavís

Location shown is the development site. This development is in BenahavísCosta del Sol.

Altura 160 sits on the sea side of the AP-7 in Benahavís, placing you between the motorway and the Mediterranean coast. The nearest beach is a 17-minute drive away. Tramores Golf is just 14 minutes away by car, making this location ideal for golfers. San Pedro Alcántara town centre takes 14 minutes to reach, and you can be at Puerto Deportivo José Banus in 17 minutes. Gibraltar Airport is 62 minutes away. This location works well for families who want golf access, beach proximity, and easy access to local amenities without being right on the coast.

Altura 160: Frequently Asked Questions

Terraces range from 32 square metres in the two-bedroom apartments up to 84 square metres in the three-bedroom homes. That is large enough for proper outdoor furniture, dining space and sun loungers. South-east orientation means morning sun without the full glare of a west-facing terrace in summer.

The nearest beach is 3.1 kilometres away, about 17 minutes by car. This is not a beachside development. Benahavís sits inland on the hills above the coast, so the setting trades beach proximity for elevation, space and views over the golf valley.

Tramores Golf is 14 minutes away by car, with Atalaya and El Paraiso courses visible from the terraces. The golf valley location puts you near multiple courses without the noise or through traffic of a frontline position. The drawback is that you need a car to reach any of them.

The International School of Estepona is 10 minutes away by car. The nearest supermarket is 7 minutes, and the health centre in Nueva Andalucía is an 18-minute drive. Nothing is within walking distance from this Benahavís hillside, so families need a car for school runs, shopping and healthcare.

You share four communal pools with the wider Los Jaralillos estate, along with gardens and a concierge service. The pools are maintained as part of the community fees, so there is no private upkeep, but you also have less control over when and how they are used.

Buying off-plan in Benahavís means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
