About this property

Overview

Serene Atalaya - Phase 1 - KEY READY is a new development of 3-bedroom semi-detached villas for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €800,000 to €950,000. This is Phase 1 of a 50-unit scheme, now complete and ready for immediate occupation, which positions it differently from the majority of new builds on this stretch of coast that still require 18 to 24 months of construction time. The development sits directly adjacent to Atalaya Golf & Country Club, making it one of the few key-ready villa projects with golf course frontage available at this price point in western Costa del Sol. Buyers here are purchasing a finished home with established communal areas rather than committing to an off-plan timeline.

Each villa offers 171 to 206 m² of built space across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an open-plan kitchen fitted with appliances from recognised European brands. The supplier description notes that some units have been configured as two oversized bedrooms rather than three standard ones, so buyers should confirm the exact layout of remaining units. All villas include a private terrace and garden, and the scheme provides two communal saltwater pools, one of which has beach-style access designed for children. The architecture follows a contemporary Mediterranean template, white rendered facades with large glazing to maximise natural light. The supplier confirms that south and southwest orientations allow sunlight through to late afternoon.

Atalaya Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole course established in 1968, one of the older layouts on the Costa del Sol and a consistent draw for northern European golfers who settle in this part of Estepona. Puerto Banús marina lies 11 kilometres east, roughly 12 minutes by car outside peak summer traffic. The area attracts families and semi-retired buyers from the UK, Belgium, and Scandinavia who want a detached or semi-detached home with outdoor space but prefer to avoid the higher density developments closer to Marbella's Golden Mile. Estepona town centre is 7 kilometres west. The immediate surroundings are low-rise residential, with several commercial centres within a five-minute drive for supermarkets, pharmacies, and schools. This is not a beachfront location, the nearest beach access is approximately 3 kilometres south, but road links to the AP-7 motorway are straightforward.

These are completed, key-ready homes. Buyers purchasing now will complete on the standard Spanish new build terms: a reservation deposit to secure the unit, followed by the balance on signing before a notary and receiving keys. The developer will confirm exact amounts and any flexibility on completion dates for remaining stock. Independent legal representation is recommended to review the community statutes, particularly the breakdown of communal fees for pool maintenance and garden upkeep across 50 units. Buyers should also verify whether any villas have already been occupied, as this can affect the feel of the community during the first year of ownership.

Serene Atalaya - Phase 1 - KEY READY: Frequently Asked Questions

The price range of €800,000 to €950,000 for Serene Atalaya Phase 1 includes the villa itself with your choice of private or communal pool, a private garden, and a private garage. All three-bedroom villas come fully finished and ready to move into when you receive the keys in September 2025.

Serene Atalaya Phase 1 is located in Atalaya on the Costa del Sol, positioned right on the beachfront with direct access to the sand. The development also sits in a frontline golf position, so you're steps away from the course while enjoying beach living.

All villas in Serene Atalaya Phase 1 have 3 bedrooms, with built sizes ranging from 171 to 206 square metres depending on the specific unit you choose. This gives you flexibility to select the layout and size that works best for your needs.

Yes, at Serene Atalaya Phase 1 you have the option to select either a private pool or access to a communal pool as part of your villa purchase. This choice is available across the range of three-bedroom properties priced between €800,000 and €950,000.

Serene Atalaya Phase 1 is expected to be completed and key-ready in September 2025, so you'll be able to move into your new beachfront villa by that date. The project is being delivered fully finished, so there's no waiting for construction or interior work once you receive your keys.

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.
