About this property

Overview

Casatalaya Residences is a new development of 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, priced from €900,000 to €1,200,000. This is a small-scale project of just 28 units in the Torremuelle area, built on gently elevated terrain where every apartment has been positioned to capture south-facing sea views. The scale matters here: boutique developments in this price bracket on the Costa del Sol typically offer more control over community character and lower density than the larger complexes that dominate much of the coastline between Marbella and Málaga.

Built sizes range from 138 to 210 m², with two bathrooms per unit and open-plan layouts designed for cross ventilation. Ground floor positioning means direct access to outdoor space, though terrace dimensions are not specified in the project data. The development includes both outdoor and indoor pools, a fully equipped gym, a social lounge with coworking facilities, and underground parking with storage rooms. Kitchens are supplied by Modulnova, an Italian brand positioned at the upper end of the fitted kitchen market, and the interior architecture has been handled by Ismael Mérida, whose work appears in several high-specification developments along this stretch of coast.

Torremuelle sits on the coastline between Benalmadena and Fuengirola, roughly 20 minutes by car from Málaga airport when traffic is clear. The area attracts a mix of Northern European second-home buyers and Spanish families relocating from inland cities, drawn by the combination of sea access and relative calm compared to the more tourist-heavy centres further west. Benalmadena itself has three distinct zones: the old village inland, the port area with its marina and nightlife, and the coastal strip where Torremuelle is located. This is not a walking neighbourhood in the traditional sense. You will need a car for supermarkets, schools, and most daily errands, though the beach is accessible on foot depending on which part of the development your apartment occupies.

Construction is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with completion targeted for the second quarter of 2028. This is an off-plan purchase with a two-year build timeline. Standard payment structures for Spanish new builds typically involve a reservation deposit to secure the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All payment amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended for any off-plan transaction in Spain. Ground floor apartments in elevated developments can vary significantly in outlook depending on whether they face the slope or sit at the rear of the site, so clarifying the specific position and views of any unit before committing is essential.

Casatalaya Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

The price range of €900,000 to €1,200,000 for Casatalaya Residences covers the apartment itself, a private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. Ground floor apartments at Casatalaya Residences also include a private garden, which is a significant advantage for beachfront living.

Casatalaya Residences is located in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol, positioned directly on the beachfront. This means residents have immediate access to the beach and Mediterranean views from their homes, making it one of the most sought-after locations in the area.

All units at Casatalaya Residences are 3-bedroom ground floor apartments ranging from 138 to 210 square metres in built size. The variation in size allows buyers to choose based on their preference for more compact living or additional space and garden area.

Yes, Casatalaya Residences offers sea views from the apartments due to its beachfront position on the Costa del Sol. As ground floor units with private gardens, residents can enjoy these views directly from their outdoor spaces and living areas.

Casatalaya Residences is expected to be completed in March 2028, giving buyers time to plan their move to this beachfront development. This timeline allows for quality construction of the project while you arrange your financing and relocation.

Buying off-plan in Benalmadena 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.
