About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This 86sqm residence sits within a well-maintained residential complex where the Mediterranean is genuinely on your doorstep, not a marketing exaggeration. The terrace delivers side views across the sea from both the living room and master bedroom, creating two separate vantage points for morning coffee or evening wine.
Inside, the layout prioritises natural light and practical living across two spacious bedrooms and one bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower. The kitchen runs open-plan into the living area and comes fully equipped, whilst a separate laundry room keeps utility tasks contained. The master bedroom opens directly onto the terrace, allowing you to step outside without passing through communal living space. Built in 1979, the apartment remains in good condition and includes one parking space within the complex. The communal pool provides an alternative to the beach when you want chlorinated water and a sunlounger within 30 seconds of your front door.
Calahonda delivers genuine beachfront living with the infrastructure to match. Restaurants, shops, and everyday services sit within a short walk, eliminating the car dependency that plagues many coastal developments. The Calahonda Commercial Centre lies approximately 800 metres from the complex, offering supermarkets, pharmacies, and a medical centre. Marbella town centre runs 15 kilometres west along the A7, whilst Málaga Airport sits 35 kilometres northeast. The terrace from the master bedroom measures large enough for a small dining table and two chairs.

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.
