About this property

Overview

Atalaya Emotion offers two and three-bedroom apartments in a gated community near Estepona, with built sizes from 92 to 121 square metres and terraces from 29 to 39 square metres. The two-bedroom homes suit couples or small families looking for a manageable second home or permanent base, while the three-bedroom apartments work for larger families or buyers who want a dedicated office or guest room. Each apartment has two bathrooms, and the layouts include open-plan living areas that extend onto the terraces. Ground-floor units come with private gardens, and penthouse apartments have rooftop access with sea views. All homes include underfloor heating, an aerothermal system for hot water and climate control, and underground parking.

The development sits on the coastal side of the AP-7 motorway in Atalaya, which puts you closer to the sea than many inland developments in this area. Playa Isdabe is an eight-minute drive, and El Higueral Golf is five minutes away. San Pedro Alcántara, with its restaurants and shops, is nine minutes by car, and The International School of Estepona is a six-minute drive. Mercadona and other daily amenities are within ten minutes. The location suits families who need schools and supermarkets nearby, golfers who play regularly, and anyone who wants easy beach access without living directly on the seafront. Gibraltar Airport is under an hour if you fly frequently.

The gated community includes a heated swimming pool, jacuzzis, a gym and landscaped gardens with a yoga area. The setting is quieter than central Marbella or Puerto Banús but still connected to both, which means less traffic noise and fewer tourists on your doorstep. The trade-off is that you need a car for almost everything, including the beach. This works well for buyers who prioritise space, amenities and views over walking to bars and restaurants.

Atalaya Emotion: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Isdabe is three kilometres away, an eight-minute drive. The AP-7 motorway runs between the development and the coast, so walking to the beach is not practical. You need a car for the beach and for most other trips. A supermarket sits within 300 metres if you need essentials on foot.

Most apartments offer sea, mountain or country views, and some combine all three in a panoramic sweep. Homes face east or south, so morning and afternoon sun reach the terraces. Ground-floor units look onto the communal gardens and pool, while penthouses on upper floors have wider coastal and inland views across Estepona and the hills behind.

Every apartment includes a private terrace between 29 and 39 square metres. Ground-floor homes also have private gardens, and penthouse apartments have rooftop access. The communal gardens, pool and yoga area are shared, but each home has its own outdoor area for breakfast, sunbathing or evening meals without leaving your front door.

The International School of Estepona is 2.6 kilometres away, a six-minute drive. San Pedro Alcántara, nine minutes by car, has more schools, a health centre and a range of shops. The nearest hospital is in Nueva Andalucía, 13 minutes away. Daily shopping is easier: a supermarket sits 300 metres from the development, and Mercadona is within ten minutes.

Two-bedroom apartments start at 92 square metres built, and three-bedroom homes go up to 121 square metres. Both layouts have two bathrooms, so the extra bedroom in the larger apartments does not add another bathroom. The additional space gives you a home office, a guest room or more storage, but it does not change the terrace size much: all homes get between 29 and 39 square metres outside.

Buying off-plan in Estepona 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.
