About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This top-floor position delivers an elevated perspective across the Mediterranean, where natural light floods the open-plan living and dining area throughout the day. The layout separates the two bedrooms across 109 square metres of built space, with two bathrooms serving the accommodation.
The living area extends to a private terrace where the coastal outlook becomes the focal point for morning coffee or evening meals. Both bedrooms offer sufficient wardrobe storage, while the principal bedroom connects to an en-suite bathroom. The second bathroom serves guests and the remaining bedroom. The kitchen sits adjacent to the dining space, fitted with standard appliances and worktop preparation areas. Windows throughout the apartment frame either sea views or aspects over the surrounding residential area, and the top-floor location removes the issue of overhead footfall.
The property sits within a residential community in Calahonda that maintains a communal swimming pool for residents. Calahonda Beach lies approximately 400 metres from the building, reachable on foot in under five minutes. Local beach bars and restaurants line the waterfront, while the commercial centre of Calahonda provides supermarkets, pharmacies and everyday services within walking distance. Marbella town centre sits 15 kilometres west along the coastal road, and Málaga Airport lies 35 kilometres to the northeast via the A-7 motorway. The apartment is offered with optional furniture, allowing buyers to retain the existing fittings or introduce their own interior scheme.

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.
