About this property

Overview

Villas Bellagio is a single four-bedroom villa with three bathrooms, 399 square metres of interior space and 236 square metres of terrace. The layout separates the main living areas onto a single level, taking full advantage of south and west orientations that deliver sea and mountain views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The terraces wrap around the main rooms, giving direct outdoor access from several points inside. A saltwater pool sits in a landscaped garden with built-in loungers and a fire pit. A private garage and dedicated laundry and storage rooms are part of the footprint, making this a self-contained home rather than one that relies on communal facilities.

The villa sits on a hillside plot above the AP-7 motorway in Benalmadena, which means road noise is present but offset by the elevation and distance from the coastal strip. Playa de Torreblanca is a 16-minute walk downhill, though the return journey is steep enough that most will drive. Mercadona is four minutes away by car for daily shopping, and Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt is a 10-minute drive for short-game practice. The British College is 12 minutes by car, and Hospital Vithas Xanit International is 10 minutes away, both relevant for families. Málaga Airport is 31 minutes along the motorway.

This suits a buyer who wants a detached villa with outdoor space and long views but still needs to be close to schools, healthcare and the airport. The setting is quieter than the beachfront developments further down the hill, though you sacrifice the ability to walk to restaurants and marina life. The hillside position means the garden is terraced rather than flat, which limits how children or older residents use the outdoor space.

Villas Bellagio: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is 1.3 kilometres away, which is a 16-minute walk downhill. The return journey is steep enough that most residents drive rather than walk back up. A supermarket is four minutes away by car for daily errands.

The villa faces south and west, giving sea and mountain views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The orientation also means sunlight reaches the main rooms and terraces throughout the afternoon and early evening. The hillside position puts the villa above the coastal strip, which enhances the panoramic outlook.

The British College is 12 minutes away by car, and Hospital Vithas Xanit International is 10 minutes in the other direction. Both are accessible without relying on the motorway for daily runs. The terraced garden limits flat play space, which may matter for younger children or anyone with mobility concerns.

Yes, the villa has a private saltwater pool set into a landscaped garden with built-in loungers and a fire pit. There are no communal facilities, so all outdoor space and maintenance is your own responsibility. The terrace wraps around the main rooms with 236 square metres of outdoor area.

Málaga Airport is 14 kilometres away, about 31 minutes by car along the AP-7 motorway. The hillside location in Benalmadena means you are already above the motorway, so the route is straightforward without threading through coastal traffic. This suits lock-up-and-leave use or frequent short trips.

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.
