About this property

Overview

These are semi-detached villas running from 171 to 206 square metres built, with terraces from 41 to 107 square metres and private plots from 58 to 309 square metres. All have three bedrooms and three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a garden. The layout gives you proper outdoor space at the back while keeping the footprint compact, and the orientation means sunlight through to sunset. Two saltwater communal pools serve the scheme, one shallow with beach-style access for small children.

The setting is frontline golf at Atalaya Golf and Country Club, so you step out to fairways and mountain views. That location brings quiet but cuts both ways: you need a car for almost everything. The beach at Playa Isdabe is 24 minutes on foot, which is walkable in theory but not with shopping or young children. San Pedro Alcántara is nine minutes by car for shops and restaurants, Puerto Banús 12 minutes. The International School of Estepona is four minutes away, HC Marbella International Hospital eight.

This suits families who want a detached-style villa at a lower price point, golf access without needing membership at a members-only course, and enough garden for children or a dog. The semi-detached format means a shared wall, and the smaller plot sizes mean your neighbour is close. If you want total privacy or a large garden for entertaining, the upper end of the plot range will matter.

Serene Atalaya FASE I: Frequently Asked Questions

Your garden backs directly onto the fairways of Atalaya Golf and Country Club, so you look over greens and mountains rather than rooftops. The club is open to the public, which means you can play without joining, but also means the course is busy at weekends and the villas have passing golfers just beyond the boundary.

Playa Isdabe is 1.9 kilometres away, which is 24 minutes on foot or eight minutes by car. That distance is walkable for an adult without bags, but becomes a drive once you add beach kit, groceries or children. The setting prioritises golf access over seaside proximity.

The International School of Estepona is 1.4 kilometres away, about four minutes by car. HC Marbella International Hospital is 4.6 kilometres, an eight-minute drive. San Pedro Alcántara, nine minutes away, has supermarkets, shops and children's activities. The golf course itself is quiet and safe for older children to cycle around.

Two saltwater communal pools serve the development, one of them shallow with beach-style access designed for small children. The villas do not have private pools, but each has a private garden ranging from 58 to 309 square metres, so there is space to add one later if the plot size and planning rules allow.

Gibraltar Airport is 47 kilometres away, about 55 minutes by car. That makes lock-up-and-leave use straightforward, and the distance is shorter than the drive to Málaga from most of the Costa del Sol. The villas are in an urbanisation with communal upkeep, so you can leave the property unattended between visits without garden maintenance piling up.

Buying off-plan in Atalaya 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.
