About this property
Overview
Santa Amalia is a small collection of eight villas built over four floors, each with a private lift connecting every level. The layout spans 290 square metres inside, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms as standard, though the developer offers the option to reconfigure to four or five bedrooms if you need more space. Each home has a private pool on the solarium terrace, a garden, and parking for two cars. The terraces range from 94 to 122 square metres, and the plot sizes are listed between 25 and 91 square metres, which suggests some homes have larger private outdoor areas than others.
The setting is practical rather than secluded. You are on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in Fuengirola, close enough to walk to the beach in a few minutes but also near the traffic and activity that comes with a town centre location. Views are of gardens, streets and neighbouring buildings. The Carrefour supermarket is 630 metres away, an eight-minute walk, and Málaga Airport is a 33-minute drive, which makes this convenient for families who travel regularly or need international schools within reach. The development has a small communal garden and a water feature, but each villa has its own entrance, so the shared spaces are minimal.
These homes suit buyers who want generous floor space, modern systems like aerothermal heating and photovoltaic panels, and the privacy of a detached villa without leaving the town. The lift makes the four floors manageable for older buyers or anyone with mobility concerns. The drawback is the urban setting. You are surrounded by other homes and roads, not greenery or open countryside, and the plot sizes are modest for a villa of this size. If you want quiet or a large private garden, this will feel cramped. If you want the coast, shops and schools within walking distance and do not mind neighbours close by, the location delivers.

SANTA AMALIA: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from these villas?
Playa del Castillo is 300 metres away, which is a five-minute walk. The development sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in Fuengirola, so you can reach the shore on foot without crossing major roads. The setting is urban rather than beachfront, with views of streets and neighbouring buildings rather than the water.
Do the villas have private pools or shared facilities?
Each villa has its own private pool on the solarium terrace, plus a garden and parking for two cars. There is a small communal garden with a water feature, but the shared spaces are minimal because each home has its own entrance. The terraces range from 94 to 122 square metres, and plot sizes vary from 25 to 91 square metres.
How far is Málaga Airport?
Málaga Airport is 20 kilometres away, a drive of about 33 minutes. The connection is straightforward, which suits buyers who travel regularly or need access to international schools. The location also works for lock-up-and-leave use if you split time between Fuengirola and another country.
What is within walking distance?
The beach is a five-minute walk, and the Carrefour supermarket is 630 metres away, about eight minutes on foot. You are close to the port, shops, schools and the town centre, all part of Fuengirola's urban fabric. The setting is practical rather than quiet, with the activity and traffic that comes with a central Costa del Sol location.
Can the layout be changed to add more bedrooms?
The standard layout is three bedrooms and four bathrooms across 290 square metres, but the developer offers the option to reconfigure to four or five bedrooms if you need more space. The home is built over four floors, with a private lift connecting every level, which makes the vertical layout manageable even with the extra rooms.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Fuengirola 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 Fuengirola?
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.
