About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Elviria, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence at Golden Beach places you directly above the sand, with dual south-east and south-west orientation delivering natural light from sunrise through to evening. The 89sqm interior opens onto a 25sqm terrace where the Mediterranean sits at eye level.
Inside, the layout spans two floors connected by an internal staircase. The principal living area occupies the main level with an open-plan lounge extending to the terrace, while both bedrooms sit on the upper floor beneath the roofline. One bathroom serves the property. The kitchen retains its original 1991 configuration and the residence is sold unfurnished, offering scope for personalisation. Marble flooring runs throughout the interior spaces, and the terrace includes space for outdoor dining with uninterrupted sea views.
Golden Beach operates as a gated beachfront complex with 24-hour concierge, communal swimming pool, and direct access to the sand via a private gate through the tropical gardens. The British College of Marbella sits 3 kilometres west along the coastal road, while Nikki Beach and the string of chiringuitos towards Cabopino Port lie within a 10-minute walk east. Elviria's commercial centre, including supermarkets and restaurants, is 1.5 kilometres inland from the complex entrance.

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