About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benalmádena Costa, Costa del Sol. This new-build residence sits within an intimate boutique development of just ten apartments, offering two units per floor for exceptional privacy. The 27-square-metre private terrace extends the 76-square-metre interior, creating a generous outdoor room where floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
The open-plan living and dining area connects directly to a fitted designer kitchen with premium appliances, while both bedrooms benefit from dedicated bathroom access across the apartment's functional layout. Natural light reaches deep into each room through the expansive glazing, and the terrace provides space for outdoor dining and relaxation. One allocated parking space comes with the property, and optional furniture packages are available for completion in 2025. The contemporary specification includes modern finishes throughout the 103-square-metre total built area.
Benalmádena Costa positions this apartment 800 metres from Playa de Malapesquera, a ten-minute walk to the shoreline. The development occupies a residential pocket between the marina district and the coastal promenade, with the Puerto Marina complex 1.2 kilometres west offering restaurants, shops and evening entertainment. Málaga Airport lies 15 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway, a 15-minute drive in typical conditions.

Buying this apartment in Benalmádena Costa
Can foreigners buy property in Benalmádena Costa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Benalmádena Costa. 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 Benalmádena Costa?
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.
