About this property

Overview

The View Marbella Phase 1 offers four-bedroom penthouses with a built area of 218 square metres and terraces ranging from 103 to 127 square metres. The southwest orientation and elevated position deliver sea views across to Gibraltar and the North African coast, with mountain and panoramic vistas completing the outlook. The layout gives you four bathrooms alongside the four bedrooms, and the terrace size makes outdoor living a genuine extension of the indoor space rather than a token balcony.

The development sits above the AP-7 motorway on the mountainside near Benahavís, which puts you in a quiet residential zone but adds distance to daily errands. Dia supermarket is a seven-minute drive, San Pedro Alcántara town centre takes eight minutes, and the beach requires a car journey. Magna Marbella Golf is eight minutes away, Aloha College eleven minutes, and Málaga Airport just over an hour. The setting works for families who value space and calm over walking to amenities, and for anyone who plays golf regularly or wants a base that feels removed from the coast without being isolated.

Shared facilities include a saltwater pool with jacuzzi, an outdoor gym with a yoga area, petanque, a fire pit and a conference centre, along with round-the-clock security. The penthouse format means no neighbours above you, and the terrace size gives you room to set up distinct zones for dining, lounging and planting. The trade-off is that almost everything beyond the development gates requires a car, so this suits households with their own transport and no need to walk to a high street or beach.

The View Marbella Phase 1: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 5.3 kilometres away, about eleven minutes by car. The development sits on the mountainside inland of the AP-7 motorway, so the beach is not within walking distance. This location favours views and quiet over proximity to the shore.

The southwest orientation and elevated position give sea views across to Gibraltar and the North African coast. Mountain and panoramic vistas complete the outlook. Penthouse position means no upper floors to obstruct sightlines.

Each penthouse has a private terrace of 103 to 127 square metres, large enough for separate zones. The communal facilities include a saltwater pool with jacuzzi, outdoor gym, yoga area, petanque and fire pit. You maintain your own terrace, the development manages shared areas.

Aloha College is eleven minutes by car, and the nearest hospital is also eleven minutes away in Nueva Andalucía. Dia supermarket takes seven minutes to reach, and San Pedro Alcántara town centre is eight minutes. Marbella puts international schools, health facilities and shopping within a short drive.

No. The development is on the mountainside inland of the motorway, and almost everything beyond the gates requires a car. The quiet residential setting trades walkability for space, views and proximity to golf courses.

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.
