About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Puerto Banús, Costa del Sol. Direct access to the sand places this 180-square-metre residence in the exclusive Malibu development, where south-east orientation delivers morning light across both the interior and the 75-square-metre covered terrace. The open-plan living area extends to wraparound outdoor space with uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean, whilst mountain silhouettes frame the northern horizon.
Inside, the designer kitchen features integrated appliances and connects to a separate laundry room that keeps utility functions discreet. Two ensuite bedrooms provide self-contained accommodation, each with fitted wardrobes and direct terrace access. The principal bathroom includes both bath and walk-in shower, whilst a guest cloakroom serves the main living zone. One underground parking space and a large storage room accompany the apartment. The property comes fully furnished to an excellent standard, with contemporary pieces selected to complement the coastal setting.
Malibu's gated perimeter encloses landscaped gardens, a residents' pool, gym, spa facilities and 24-hour concierge and security services. The complex sits at the eastern edge of Puerto Banús marina, placing the boutiques, restaurants and berths of one of Europe's most recognised yacht harbours within a three-minute walk. Marbella's Golden Mile begins immediately east, whilst the AP-7 motorway lies two kilometres inland for access to Málaga Airport in 45 minutes.

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