About this property

Overview

GOLDEN EIGHT is a new development of 3-bedroom duplexes for sale in Marbella, Costa del Sol, priced at €1,790,000. This is a small-scale project, limited to eight apartments in total, with only one unit remaining available. The development's southwest orientation delivers direct sea views across a stretch of coastline that includes the protected dunes of Artola, a rare combination of coastal access and natural landscape preservation in an area where beachfront land is heavily developed.

Each duplex offers 331 m² of built space across two levels, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The development includes a communal swimming pool. The supplier description references innovative design and attention to detail, though specific architectural features or interior specifications are not detailed in the available data. The built size is substantial for a three-bedroom property in this market, suggesting generous living areas and private terrace space, though exact terrace dimensions are not confirmed. The sea views and southwest aspect mean afternoon and evening light across principal rooms.

The Cabo Pino golf course sits adjacent to the development, and the Artola dunes are five minutes away by car. This eastern stretch of Marbella attracts buyers looking for a quieter alternative to the Golden Mile or Puerto Banús, typically Northern European second-home owners and retirees who prioritise natural surroundings and golf access over proximity to nightlife. Marbella's old town and main commercial centre are 15 minutes by car, Málaga airport 30 minutes. The area is less walkable than central Marbella, so a car is essential for daily errands. The immediate neighbourhood is low-density residential with golf courses, beach clubs, and marina facilities at Cabopino, rather than high-street retail or restaurants within walking distance.

This is the final unit in a completed or near-completed development. Standard Spanish new build payment structures typically involve a reservation deposit to secure the property, stage payments during construction if applicable, and the balance on completion when keys are handed over, though all amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and conduct due diligence on the developer and the property title. At this price point and with sea views in Marbella, buyers should budget for annual community fees that reflect pool maintenance, landscaping, and shared infrastructure across a small, low-density development.

GOLDEN EIGHT: Frequently Asked Questions

GOLDEN EIGHT starts from €1,790,000 for a 3-bedroom duplex. This price includes the property itself with built size of 331 m², a private garage, private garden, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. All units feature south-facing orientation to maximize natural light and sea views.

GOLDEN EIGHT is located in Artola Alta, a residential area of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. This area offers a balance between proximity to Marbella's amenities and a more tranquil setting, with easy access to the coast and local services.

GOLDEN EIGHT offers 3-bedroom duplex units with a built size of 331 m². Each property is designed with the same bedroom count and similar proportions, though individual layouts may vary slightly depending on your specific unit within the development.

Every unit in GOLDEN EIGHT benefits from south-facing orientation combined with sea views, which means you get both natural light throughout the day and views of the Mediterranean. The south-facing aspect is particularly valuable on the Costa del Sol as it provides year-round sunshine and extends your outdoor living season.

GOLDEN EIGHT is expected to be completed in March 2026, giving you a clear timeline for your investment. The developer, ROMANA-UR ARTOLA ALTA, has set this completion date to ensure quality construction of these luxury duplexes.

Buying off-plan in Marbella 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.
