About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Nueva Andalucía, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence occupies 97 square metres of living space plus a 40-square-metre terrace that functions as an outdoor room under open sky. The rooftop terrace includes a Weber outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue, a dedicated dining area, and a separate lounge zone designed for year-round use in the southern Spanish climate.
Inside, the apartment follows an open-plan layout connecting kitchen and living areas in a single light-filled space. Two bedrooms accommodate different household needs, served by two bathrooms that eliminate morning queues. The kitchen overlooks La Concha mountain to the north, whilst the living room frames views across the 18th hole of Aloha Golf Course. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull natural light through the apartment from morning until late afternoon. The terrace wraps around the upper level, creating multiple outdoor zones for cooking, eating, and relaxing without stepping off your own property.
The apartment sits within Azahara I, a residential complex in the Aloha area of Nueva Andalucía with communal pool facilities. Aloha Golf Course runs immediately adjacent to the development, its fairways visible from the upper terrace. Puerto Banús marina lies 3 kilometres south, reachable in under ten minutes by car along the A-7 coastal road. The terrace includes a private plunge pool set into the rooftop surface, measuring approximately 3 metres by 2 metres with integrated seating ledges along two sides.

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