About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Benalmádena, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence in the new Mane Residences development delivers 117 square metres of private terrace space across two levels, including an upper solarium where the Mediterranean stretches uninterrupted to the horizon. The open-plan living area connects directly to the main terrace, creating a continuous indoor-outdoor space that captures coastal light throughout the day.
Inside, 86 square metres of built area accommodates two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite. The kitchen integrates into the living and dining zone without partitions, and fitted wardrobes run wall-to-wall in both bedrooms. A separate storage room provides additional space for seasonal items or sports equipment. The property includes two underground parking spaces and arrives unfurnished, with completion scheduled for 2025. Both bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling tiling, and the living areas use large-format porcelain throughout.
Mane Residences sits in the Montealto area of Benalmádena, a gated complex with a communal pool and gym. The development occupies elevated ground 2.5 kilometres inland from Benalmádena Marina, where the coastal promenade connects a working harbour to waterfront restaurants and the Sealife aquarium. From the solarium, views extend across terraced hillsides down to the sea, with Fuengirola visible along the coastline to the west.

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