About this property

Overview

Macan Beach Residences is a new development of 3 to 4-bedroom penthouses for sale in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,040,000 to €1,145,000. The project comprises just sixteen homes, making it one of the smallest new build schemes on this stretch of coast. All units face south and sit 300 metres from Malibu Beach, on one of the last available coastal plots in Benalmádena. At this price point, the development targets buyers who want direct beach access without the density of larger condominium blocks that now dominate much of the western Costa del Sol.

Built sizes range from 136 to 165 m² across the three and four-bedroom layouts. Each penthouse includes two bathrooms and a large terrace, though specific terrace dimensions are not provided in the project specification. The design emphasises floor-to-ceiling glazing to connect interior spaces with outdoor areas and sea views. Communal facilities include a swimming pool, and the developer describes the project as energy efficient, though certification details have not been confirmed. The architecture follows a contemporary Mediterranean style, with white facades and open-plan interiors typical of recent coastal developments in the province.

Benalmádena sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, approximately 20 minutes by car from Málaga Airport. The town attracts a mix of permanent residents, retirees from Northern Europe, and second-home buyers who prioritise proximity to the airport and established infrastructure. Malibu Beach is a narrow strip of sand backed by a promenade, less crowded than the beaches further west but also less serviced in terms of beach clubs and restaurants. The area around the development is residential rather than commercial, so daily amenities require a short drive to either Benalmádena Pueblo or the coastal strip near Puerto Marina, which is roughly 3 kilometres east. The plot's position as one of the last undeveloped coastal sites in Benalmádena may appeal to buyers concerned about future construction nearby, though it also means the immediate surroundings are still being finalised.

The project is currently off-plan. Spanish new build purchases typically require a reservation deposit to secure a unit, followed by stage payments during construction, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All payment schedules and amounts must be confirmed directly with the developer. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish property lawyer to review contracts, verify bank guarantees, and ensure compliance with local planning permissions. Benalmádena has seen significant price appreciation over the past three years, but the €1 million entry point places this development in a narrower segment of the market than the sub-€500,000 apartments that dominate local sales volumes.

Macan Beach Residences: Frequently Asked Questions

The price range of €1,040,000 to €1,145,000 for Macan Beach Residences includes the penthouse unit itself, a private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your specific unit. Each penthouse also comes with a private garden, so you get outdoor space as part of your purchase.

Macan Beach Residences is located right on the beachfront in Benalmadena, so you're steps away from the sand and sea. The beach-side location means you can enjoy direct access to the coast and wake up to sea views from your penthouse.

Macan Beach Residences offers both 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom penthouse options, with built sizes ranging from 136 to 165 square metres. This gives you flexibility to choose the layout that suits your needs and lifestyle.

Yes, all penthouses at Macan Beach Residences feature sea views as a standard feature of the development. Combined with the beach-side location and your private garden, you'll have excellent views and outdoor living space.

Macan Beach Residences is expected to be completed in April 2027, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your penthouse. This allows time for quality construction while keeping delivery within a reasonable timeframe.

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.
