About this property

Overview

Macan Beach Residences in Benalmádena gives you a penthouse with three or four bedrooms across 136 to 165 square metres, plus terraces of 38 to 44 square metres. The layouts suit families who need separate sleeping zones and space to host, while the terrace size means you can furnish it properly rather than squeeze a table into a token outdoor area. The sea views come from east or west orientations, so you get morning or evening light depending on which penthouse you pick. At this size you are looking at a primary home rather than a holiday bolt-hole, and the combination of bedrooms and terrace space works for families who want to live by the coast permanently.

The location puts you on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, a four-minute walk from Playa de Arroyo Hondo. Málaga Airport is 33 minutes by car, which makes the Costa del Sol accessible for visitors if you let the property, and Mercadona is five minutes on foot for weekly shopping. The British College is two minutes away by car, and Golf Benalmádena Pitch and Putt is a seven-minute drive. Arroyo de la Miel, the main town centre, is nine minutes by car. You are close enough to the beach to walk there daily, but you will need a car for most other errands and school runs.

The setting between the motorway and the sea is typical of this stretch of Benalmádena. You get the beach within walking distance and fast access to Málaga or Marbella, but you also hear the motorway, especially from east-facing units. The communal pool and gardens are shared across just sixteen homes, so they stay quiet and you get more space per household than in a larger block. This suits buyers who want beachside living with room to breathe, but it will not work if you expect to walk to restaurants or need urban density around you.

Macan Beach Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Arroyo Hondo is 300 metres away, a four-minute walk. That distance means you can go down to the beach daily without needing a car, and the shallow gradient on this part of the coast makes the walk back comfortable even in summer heat.

Each penthouse has a private terrace of 38 to 44 square metres. At that size you can fit a dining table, lounge seating and still have room left, rather than choosing between the two. The development also has communal gardens and a pool shared across sixteen homes.

Málaga Airport is twelve kilometres away, a 33-minute drive. That makes the property workable as a lock-up-and-leave base if you visit several times a year, and it also means guests can reach you directly without changing terminals or hiring a car for a long transfer.

The British College is 800 metres away, a two-minute drive, and Hospital Vithas Xanit International is 1.7 kilometres, six minutes by car. A supermarket is 400 metres away, walkable in good weather. Most family errands in Benalmádena will need a car because the residential setting does not have services clustered around it.

The penthouses face east or west, so you get morning or evening light depending on which one you choose. All have sea views, and some also look over the communal gardens and pool. East-facing units are closer to the motorway, which means more road noise during the day.

Buying off-plan in Benalmádena 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.
