About this property
Overview
Villa Celestia is a single detached villa on a plot of 1,486 square metres in La Cala Golf, positioned on the mountain side of the AP-7. The built space covers 233 square metres and includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a multifunctional room that can serve as a study, gym or self-contained guest space.
The living room and kitchen are open-plan, and there is parking for two cars. Outside, terraces of 177 square metres surround an infinity pool. The setting faces south and south west, so the garden gets sun throughout the day. From the terrace and pool, you look out over the golf courses towards the sea and mountains.
La Cala Golf sits inland from the coast, giving you direct access to three 18-hole courses and a par-three short course, all within a one-minute drive. The Riviera beaches at Playa de Calahonda are 16 minutes away by car, and Fuengirola town centre takes 23 minutes. Málaga Airport is 51 minutes away. St Anthony's College is a 13-minute drive. This location works for families who play golf regularly and do not mind a car journey to reach the beach or supermarket. You will not walk to anything from here except the clubhouse.
The plot is large enough to keep neighbouring properties at a distance, and the orientation means you face away from the street. The villa layout puts all the main living space on one level, with the multifunctional room offering flexibility if your household changes. The drawback is isolation: you are up in the resort, not in a village or near a high street, so every errand needs the car.

Villa Celestia: Frequently Asked Questions
What views do you get from the villa?
The terrace and pool face south and south west over the golf courses towards the sea and mountains. The orientation also means the garden receives sunlight throughout the day. The plot is large enough that neighbouring properties sit at a distance, so your outlook stays open across the fairways.
How far is the beach from La Cala Golf?
Playa de Calahonda is 4.8 kilometres away, about 16 minutes by car. This is not a walking distance. The villa sits inland on the mountain side of the AP-7, so every beach visit requires you to drive down to the coast. If you want to be on foot to the sand, this location will not suit.
Is La Cala Golf walkable or do you need a car?
You need a car for everything except the clubhouse. The nearest supermarket is 4.3 kilometres away, Fuengirola is 8.8 kilometres, and the beach is 4.8 kilometres. The resort sits inland in the hills, so there is no village street or corner shop within walking range. This suits households who drive as a matter of course.
What makes this location good for golfers?
La Cala Golf has three full 18-hole courses and a par-three short course, all within a one-minute drive from the villa. You live inside the resort, so teeing off does not require planning or a journey. The drawback is that everything else, from groceries to the beach, involves the same drive down to the coast that non-golfers make from less isolated addresses.
Are there schools and hospitals nearby?
St Anthony's College is 4.0 kilometres away, about 13 minutes by car. The nearest hospital is Urgencias Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella, 9.7 kilometres and 23 minutes by car. Fuengirola, which has further schools and medical centres, is 8.8 kilometres away. All journeys from La Cala Golf require a car.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in La Cala Golf 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 La Cala Golf?
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.
