About this property

Overview

Alcantara del Mar Villas are large family houses on compact plots a few streets back from the beach at San Pedro de Alcántara. Built size runs from 426 to 450 square metres across five or six bedrooms and four or five bathrooms, with outdoor space from 185 to 283 square metres in terraces. Plot sizes range from 306 to 392 square metres. These are not estates with big gardens. What you gain is proximity to the sea and a location where walking to the shops, schools and the promenade is practical.

The setting is residential, bordered by the AP-7 to the north and the beach 13 minutes away on foot to the south. San Pedro town centre takes three minutes by car, Puerto Banús seven. El Campanario Golf Course is six minutes away. Schools within a short drive include the International School of Estepona. The immediate area has no special character but everything a family needs is close, and buyers choosing this stretch want the convenience of being on the coast without the density or the concrete of Marbella proper.

Orientation varies between east, south and west. Some homes face the sea, others do not. The layouts are open plan, floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout, with underfloor heating and ceiling heights around 2.85 metres. The scale suits households with children or those who want a proper house by the beach rather than an apartment. The plot sizes mean these are not grand villas with grounds. You are buying generous interior space and short distances to amenities, not privacy or a large garden. If you want land around the house, this is not the project for it. If you want to walk to the beach from a modern five-bedroom house on the Costa del Sol, this is a rare thing.

Alcantara del Mar Villas: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de San Pedro is 13 minutes on foot. The walk is flat and crosses residential streets, practical for a morning swim or an evening stroll. The same beach is three minutes by car if you are carrying boards or small children.

Built area ranges from 426 to 450 square metres, spread over five or six bedrooms and four or five bathrooms. Terrace space varies more widely, from 185 to 283 square metres. Plot sizes sit between 306 and 392 square metres, which means the outdoor space is terraces rather than lawn or established garden.

Some homes face the sea, others look over the neighbourhood or towards the garden and pool. Orientation varies between east, south and west across the development. The location is close to the coast, but not every plot has a sea view.

The International School of Estepona is five minutes by car, HC Marbella International Hospital takes the same time. A supermarket is within 400 metres. San Pedro de Alcántara centre, three minutes away by car, has shops, parks and the promenade, and you can walk there from the villas in less than a quarter of an hour.

Gibraltar Airport is 56 minutes by car. Málaga Airport, not given in the measured distances but the main international gateway for the Costa del Sol, is the closer option for most routes. The location works for lock-up-and-leave use, though you will want a car for airport runs and weekly shops.

Buying off-plan in San Pedro de Alcántara 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.
