About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. The 100sqm interior opens onto a 50sqm covered terrace that overlooks landscaped tropical gardens, creating a private outdoor room large enough for dining and lounging whilst maintaining complete seclusion from neighbouring properties.
Inside, the layout separates two double bedrooms across 100sqm of living space, each with its own bathroom. The living areas receive natural light throughout the day, and the kitchen comes fully equipped as part of the complete furnishing package. Storage extends beyond the apartment itself with a dedicated room in the underground level, where a private parking space is also allocated. The terrace's 50sqm footprint effectively doubles the usable living area during the warmer months, with enough depth to accommodate multiple seating zones under cover.
Bahía de Alcántara is a gated beachfront community with 24-hour security, communal swimming pools, and mature garden areas that screen the residential blocks from the promenade. The development provides direct access to the coastal walkway, which connects to San Pedro town centre in a 15-minute walk westward. The property sits within the established residential quarter between the boulevard and the beach, where the promenade continues east towards Puerto Banús marina, approximately 3 kilometres away. Built in 2008, the complex maintains its tropical planting and water features across the communal grounds, with the beach gate opening straight onto the sand.

Buying this apartment in San Pedro de Alcántara
Can foreigners buy property in San Pedro de Alcántara?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in San Pedro de Alcántara. 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 San Pedro de Alcántara?
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.
