About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Marbella, Costa del Sol. Step directly from the Marina Mariola Building onto the sand, where the Mediterranean stretches across your entire south-facing view. This second-floor residence places you close enough to hear the waves from the 18-square-metre terrace, yet high enough to command uninterrupted sea perspectives across the coastline.
Inside, 120 square metres of living space divides into two bedrooms and two bathrooms, all delivered fully furnished to excellent standard. The south orientation floods the interior with natural light throughout the day, whilst the terrace extends the living area outdoors for year-round dining with direct sea views. A private parking space and storage room accompany the apartment, alongside access to the communal pool. Built in 2001, the property maintains its original condition without requiring renovation, ready for immediate occupation.
The Marina Mariola Building sits on Marbella's frontline beach, with 24-hour security monitoring the complex. Marbella's Golden Mile stretches 6 kilometres west from here, lined with beach clubs and restaurants accessible within a five-minute drive. The apartment's beachfront position means Marbella's marina lies 2 kilometres east, where the old town's boutiques and tapas bars cluster around Plaza de los Naranjos.

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.
