About this property
Overview
Artemisa is a gated development of two and three-bedroom apartments in Los Pacos, sitting above the AP-7 towards the mountains. The built areas run from 86 to 144 square metres, with terraces spanning 10 to 104 square metres. The smaller terraces suit the two-bedroom layouts, while the larger ones come with the three-bedroom penthouses. The apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows and south, west or northeast orientations. Each home includes a garage space and a storage room. The complex has a saltwater communal pool and a gym.
You are 900 metres from the sea, a 10-minute walk to Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal. Mercadona is eight minutes on foot, and the AP-7 motorway is close by, putting Málaga Airport 32 minutes away by car. Fuengirola town centre is a nine-minute drive, and Campo Los Lagos golf course is 11 minutes. Schools are nearby, with Colegio Valdelecrín three minutes away. The setting is residential and quiet, with mountain views rather than direct beach frontage, so you get proximity to the coast without the density and noise of the beachfront blocks.
This suits buyers who want new construction, a secure environment and a workable compromise between beach access and a calmer residential feel. Families will find the schools, supermarket and beach all within easy reach. The downside is the location above a motorway, which brings road noise despite the distance from the beach, and you will need a car for most errands beyond the nearest supermarket.

Artemisa: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach and can you walk there?
Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal is 0.8 kilometres away, a 10-minute walk from the development. The route is manageable on foot, so you can reach the sand without needing the car every time. That makes Artemisa one of the closer inland developments to the beach in Los Pacos.
What size are the apartments?
Built areas range from 86 to 144 square metres, with terraces from 10 to 104 square metres. The two-bedroom apartments sit at the smaller end with more modest terraces, while the three-bedroom penthouses take the upper end and come with the largest outdoor spaces. All layouts include two bathrooms, a garage space and a storage room.
Is there a pool and is it shared?
The development has a communal saltwater pool, so maintenance and running costs are shared across the community. There are no private pools. The complex also includes a gym, and the gated setting means both facilities are for residents only.
What shops and schools are nearby?
A supermarket is 0.7 kilometres away, about four minutes by car. Colegio Valdelecrín is three minutes by car, and The British College is 4.6 kilometres away, reachable in 13 minutes. For health care, Hospital Vithas Xanit International is 6.4 kilometres from Los Pacos, about 13 minutes by car.
Which direction do the apartments face?
Orientations are south, west or northeast, depending on the position within the development. South-facing homes get sun for most of the day, west-facing apartments catch the afternoon light, and northeast orientations bring morning sun with shade later. The mountain location means most apartments have views inland rather than towards the sea.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Los Pacos 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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Los Pacos?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
