About this property

Overview

Vesta Mare is a beachfront apartment development in La Duquesa, 193 metres from the sand. You can walk to the beach in two minutes. The three buildings contain one, two, three and four-bedroom homes that range from 72 to 187 square metres, with terraces from 11 to 88 square metres. The smallest apartments suit single buyers or couples. The largest four-bedroom units work for families or buyers who want guest space and room to spread out. Layouts are open plan, with kitchens that flow into living areas and floor-to-ceiling glass that opens onto the terraces. Many homes have sea views, others look over the golf courses inland or across the communal gardens and pool.

The development sits just off the AP-7, with the Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina four minutes away by car and Golf Academy Albayt Resort ten minutes inland. Gibraltar Airport is 38 minutes by road. Shops, bars and restaurants are within walking distance along the coast towards Sabinillas. A primary school is a four-minute drive for families. The setting means direct beach access without leaving the main coastal strip, so you have both the quiet of a beachfront residence and the cafes and services of a functioning town close by.

Amenities include a communal pool, a separate children's pool, landscaped gardens, an indoor gym and underground parking. The beachfront position is the main draw, but it also means you are next to the coastal road and the sound of traffic, especially in summer. This development suits buyers who want a new home right on the Mediterranean and are prepared to accept the activity that comes with a well-connected location. It does not suit anyone looking for complete seclusion or a rural retreat.

VESTA MARE: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 193 metres away, a two-minute walk from the development. The beachfront position means you cross the road and you are on the sand, but the coastal road between the buildings and the sea carries traffic, particularly in summer when the coast is busy.

Built sizes run from 72 to 187 square metres, with terraces from 11 to 88 square metres. The one-bedroom apartments are the smallest and suit singles or couples. The four-bedroom units reach the upper end of the range and give families or buyers who need guest space enough room without being excessive.

Gibraltar Airport is 25 kilometres away and takes 38 minutes by car. The short transfer makes the development practical for lock-up-and-leave use, whether you visit for weekends or longer breaks. Málaga Airport is the other option, further east along the coast.

Views vary by position. Many apartments look out to the Mediterranean. Others face inland over the golf courses or down onto the communal gardens and pool. The terraces are large enough to sit outside, and the open-plan layouts mean the views carry through the living spaces.

The larger three and four-bedroom layouts work for families, and there is a children's pool alongside the main communal pool. A primary school is a four-minute drive away in Sabinillas, and the hospital in Estepona is 12 minutes by car. Shops and a supermarket are both within a four-minute drive or a longer walk along the coast.

Buying off-plan in La Duquesa 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.
