About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor residence sits directly on the sand, with uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean from both bedrooms and the living room. Originally configured as two separate one-bedroom units, the property was combined in 1996 to create 100 square metres of interconnected living space with an 18-square-metre terrace overlooking the water.
Inside, the layout includes a large living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and two bathrooms with showers. One bathroom has been recently renovated with underfloor heating. The apartment comes fully furnished and benefits from one allocated parking space. Communal facilities include a swimming pool and beautifully maintained gardens that extend to the beach. The combined footprint delivers generous proportions uncommon in standard two-bedroom configurations, with sea views framed from multiple rooms throughout the day.
The property stands within a small beachfront community in Calahonda, a residential area known for its direct coastal access between Marbella and Fuengirola. Calahonda Beach stretches immediately beyond the communal gardens, offering year-round swimming and water sports. The commercial centre of Calahonda, with supermarkets, restaurants and services, sits less than a five-minute walk inland. Marbella lies 20 kilometres west along the A7 coastal road, whilst Málaga Airport is accessible in 35 minutes by car.

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