About this property

Overview

These are semi-detached villas with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, built across 176 to 181 square metres plus outdoor space of 77 to 78 square metres. The layout spans multiple levels, and buyers can opt for a basement and roof solarium to expand the usable space significantly. The three-bedroom configuration suits families or couples who want dedicated guest rooms and home offices without stretching to a larger four-bedroom property. The semi-detached format means one shared wall, so you gain some of the privacy and garden space of a detached villa while keeping the footprint compact.

The homes sit directly beside Atalaya Golf & Country Club, which puts the course within a two-minute drive or a short walk if you cut through. That frontline golf position defines the setting: views over fairways and mountains, but also the reality that golfers and maintenance teams are part of the daily scene. You are on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, two kilometres from the beach at Playa Isdabe, which is a 25-minute walk or five minutes by car. San Pedro Alcántara centre is nine minutes away for supermarkets, restaurants and the weekly market. Puerto Banús is close enough for an evening out but far enough that you are not in the middle of its crowds and traffic.

The west-facing orientation means afternoon and evening sun on the terraces, which works well for outdoor dining but can make interiors warm in summer. The development sits on sloping ground, so each home gets unobstructed views rather than looking at the villa in front. Families choose this area for the international schools nearby, the proximity to HC Marbella Hospital, and the balance between golf course calm and easy access to the coast. The trade-off is that you need a car for most errands, and the motorway hum is audible from some plots despite the greenery around the course.

Serene Atalaya FASE II: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Isdabe is two kilometres away, which is about 25 minutes on foot or five minutes by car. The walk is flat and takes you through the residential area south of the AP-7, but most owners drive because the route lacks shade and pavements narrow in places. Once there, the beach is wide and quiet compared to the stretches closer to Puerto Banús.

You get fairway and mountain views from the terraces, but you also share the landscape with golfers and course maintenance. Early morning mowing and irrigation are part of the routine, and the odd stray ball can reach gardens on the perimeter. El Campanario Golf Course is 600 metres away if you walk through the development, so access is genuinely quick for players.

Each villa has its own private garden on a plot of 276 to 287 square metres, plus terraces totalling 77 to 78 square metres. You are responsible for maintaining the garden yourself or arranging a gardener, which gives you control over planting and layout but adds to the running costs. The pool can be private or shared depending on the plot, so check which applies to the specific home.

The International School of Estepona is 1.5 kilometres away, a four-minute drive, and HC Marbella International Hospital is eight minutes by car. San Pedro Alcántara, nine minutes away, has supermarkets, a playground near the boulevard, and a sports centre. The location works for families who want space and access to international education without living in a resort complex.

Yes, for almost everything beyond the golf course. The nearest supermarket is 1.4 kilometres away, which is walkable but impractical with shopping bags in summer heat. San Pedro Alcántara, the closest town for services and restaurants, is a nine-minute drive. Gibraltar Airport is 55 minutes away, Málaga slightly longer, so this suits owners who keep a car on the Costa del Sol rather than those relying on taxis or walking.

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.
