About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This corner apartment on the first floor commands direct sea views from the kitchen, living room, master bedroom and the 60sqm private terrace that wraps around two sides of the property. The south-facing orientation captures sunlight throughout the day, with particularly strong winter sun when the angle sits lower on the horizon.
The 103sqm interior divides into two exterior bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and two full bathrooms, though the layout allows for straightforward conversion to three bedrooms if required. The large kitchen opens to the exterior through a window and connects to the dining area via a serving hatch. Air conditioning units (split system, heating and cooling) were recently installed in both the living room and master bedroom. The apartment comes fully furnished and includes one allocated parking space within the development. Access is via stairs, as the building has no lift.
The property sits within a beachfront development that offers direct access to the sand and includes a communal pool. Calahonda beach stretches along the coastline immediately below, whilst the commercial centre of Calahonda with its supermarkets, restaurants and services lies 800 metres inland. Marbella sits 20 minutes west by car, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is a 35-minute drive along the A7 coastal road.

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