About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with sea views in Marbella, Costa del Sol. The west-facing terrace captures lateral Mediterranean vistas and the sound of waves from the beachfront promenade below, a 21sqm outdoor space where morning coffee transitions naturally into evening aperitifs. Inside, 127sqm of living space includes air conditioning throughout and an alarm system, finished to the exacting standards that define this exclusive address.
The layout provides two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while the open-plan living areas benefit from the natural light that floods through from the terrace. The kitchen comes fully equipped and the apartment is sold fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation. Ground-floor positioning means direct access to the communal gardens without stairs or lifts, whilst the gated perimeter provides 24-hour security. Residents share access to a heated swimming pool, a spa with treatment rooms, and a fully equipped gym that overlooks landscaped gardens.
Marina Mariola sits directly on Marbella's beachfront promenade, with the golden sands of Playa de Marbella accessible within a two-minute walk. The complex occupies one of the most coveted stretches of the Costa del Sol, positioned between Marbella's old town, a 15-minute stroll east along the seafront, and Puerto Banús, five minutes west by car. The promenade itself delivers an unbroken ribbon of beach clubs, restaurants and morning joggers, whilst the complex's position means the Avenida del Mar and its Dalí sculptures lie within comfortable walking distance for evening paseos into the historic centre.

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