About this property
Overview
Lantana comprises seven villas, each built across three floors on plots from 464 to 501 square metres. Five-bedroom and six-bedroom layouts are available, all with four bathrooms.
Built sizes run from 629 to 651 square metres, and terrace space from 300 to 342 square metres. The scale suits families who need room for children, guests and home offices, though the size means higher running costs and more maintenance than a typical townhouse or apartment. Every villa has a private pool and garden. Floor-to-ceiling glass connects the living areas to the outdoor space, and the kitchens come fitted with integrated appliances.
Calahonda sits between Marbella and Fuengirola on the coast road, and Lantana is on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway, 390 metres from La Luna-Royale Beach. The beach is five minutes on foot. Mercadona is a three-minute walk, so daily shopping is manageable without a car. Cabopino golf course is six minutes by car, and Fuengirola town centre is 18 minutes. Málaga Airport is 43 minutes away. The immediate surroundings are residential, part of an established urbanisation, so the setting is quiet but lacks the wider grounds and shared facilities that some gated communities provide.
The location works for families who want beach access and international schools nearby. English International College is nine minutes by car, and Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria Jardín Botánico is also within reach. Golfers have quick access to Cabopino and other courses along this stretch of coast. The trade-off is that Calahonda is not a town with its own centre, so you rely on the car for most outings beyond the beach and the supermarket. The position close to the coast road means some traffic noise, particularly if the AP-7 is busy.

Lantana: Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the villas and what space do you get?
Built size is 629 to 651 square metres across three floors, with five or six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Terrace space is 300 to 342 square metres. The plots are 464 to 501 square metres, so the villa footprint takes most of the land and the garden wraps around rather than extending far.
Can you walk to the beach from Calahonda?
La Luna-Royale Beach is 390 metres away, a five-minute walk. The development sits on the sea side of the motorway, so you do not cross traffic to reach the sand. A supermarket is also walkable, but most other errands need the car.
Do the villas have private pools or shared facilities?
Every villa has a private pool and garden. There are no communal facilities, so you pay for your own pool cleaning and garden upkeep. That gives you complete control over when you use the space, but the running costs are higher than a shared arrangement would be.
What is nearby for families with children?
English International College is 6.8 kilometres away, nine minutes by car. The hospital in Marbella is 13 minutes by car, and Mercadona supermarket is a three-minute walk. Calahonda itself has no town centre, so you drive to Fuengirola or Marbella for wider services and activities.
How far is Málaga Airport and does that work for a second home?
Málaga Airport is 29 kilometres away, 43 minutes by car. The drive is straightforward along the coast motorway. The distance suits lock-up-and-leave use if you visit a few times a year, though families moving full-time may find the airport run manageable rather than convenient.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Calahonda 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 Calahonda?
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.
