About this property
Overview
One-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Puerto de Cabopino, Costa del Sol. This 80sqm residence places you directly on the sand, where the community pool sits at the foot of the beach and morning swims alternate between Mediterranean waves and chlorinated lanes. The south-facing orientation fills the living spaces with natural light throughout the day, whilst the recently renovated modern kitchen opens into a generous reception room designed for coastal living.
Inside, the large bedroom features fitted wardrobes that maximise storage without compromising floor space, and the completely new bathroom delivers contemporary fixtures and finishes. Air conditioning, recently installed, maintains comfort during summer months. Two terraces extend the living area: a small balcony overlooks the port with views across the marina, and an entrance terrace provides additional outdoor space for morning coffee or evening drinks. The apartment includes one parking space and offers optional furniture, allowing you to move in immediately or bring your own pieces. Large communal green areas provide sun loungers positioned between the pools and gardens.
Puerto de Cabopino marina sits adjacent to the development, where restaurants and boat moorings create a working harbour atmosphere distinct from Marbella's larger ports. The Artola Dunes, a protected natural area with marked walking trails through coastal ecosystem, lie three minutes on foot to the east. Cabopino beach itself extends in both directions from the property, offering some of the widest stretches of sand on this section of the Costa del Sol.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Puerto de Cabopino
Can foreigners buy property in Puerto De Cabopino?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Puerto De Cabopino. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Puerto De Cabopino?
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.
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.
