About this property
Overview
Aura Cabopino consists of five large villas on a frontline golf position beside Cabopino Golf. Each villa sits on a plot of 1,759 square metres with 745 square metres built across three floors and 209 square metres of terrace.
The layout runs to five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and the orientation is southwest. Inside, there is a home cinema, a gym, and a lift connecting the floors. Outside, the 33 square metre infinity pool looks towards the sea and the golf course. A garage takes two cars, with additional guest parking. Buyers who play can ask for a golf simulator in place of the gym.
The setting puts the beach 17 minutes on foot and Cabopino Golf a minute away by car. Puerto Cabopino marina is six minutes by car for boat owners or those renting water sports equipment. Supermarkets are a 21 minute walk, manageable but not quick. Málaga Airport is 47 minutes, and English International College is seven minutes for families. The development sits between the AP-7 and the coast, so while it has sea views and golf access, road noise from the motorway may reach the plots depending on wind and time of day.
This suits buyers who want a large home with private facilities on a golf estate, close enough to the beach to walk but reliant on a car for most errands. The plot size gives space for outdoor living, and the pool and views make the most of the position. Families will find schools within reach, and the marina and golf course widen the appeal. The frontline golf location narrows the audience to those comfortable with golfers and course activity as the immediate backdrop.

Aura Cabopino: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Aura Cabopino?
The nearest beach is 1.3 kilometres away, a 17 minute walk or five minutes by car. That distance makes it possible to walk down for an afternoon, but daily beach trips with children or equipment will likely mean driving. Puerto Cabopino marina sits slightly further at 1.4 kilometres.
What are the views like from these villas?
The villas face southwest and look out over Cabopino Golf towards the sea. The infinity pool is positioned to take in both the golf course and the Mediterranean. Panoramic views extend across the coastline, though the immediate foreground is dominated by fairways and golfers.
What does frontline golf mean for day-to-day living?
Frontline golf means the villa sits directly beside the course, with golfers and their activity visible from the terrace and pool. It gives instant access for players and uninterrupted views, but you share your outlook with a working golf course and its users throughout the day. Early morning maintenance and weekend traffic are part of the setting.
Is a car necessary in Cabopino?
A car is necessary for most errands. Supermarkets are 1.7 kilometres away, which is a 21 minute walk. The golf course is 300 metres, reachable on foot, but the marina, schools and Fuengirola all need a car. The beach is walkable, though the return uphill with shopping or young children makes driving more practical.
What is nearby for families with school-age children?
English International College is 4.6 kilometres away, a seven minute drive. The nearest hospital, Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol, is 7.4 kilometres and takes 11 minutes by car. Supermarkets and the beach are within reach, but Cabopino itself has limited facilities, so families will need to drive to Fuengirola or Marbella for most activities.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Cabopino 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 Cabopino?
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.
