About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. This south-facing corner unit sits directly on the Mediterranean shoreline, where 153 square metres of terrace space wraps around 78 square metres of interior living area. Built in 2023, the open-plan layout connects the living space to the kitchen through floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slide back to merge indoor and outdoor zones.
Inside, two bedrooms include a master suite with direct terrace access, whilst two bathrooms serve the accommodation. The kitchen comes fully fitted with integrated appliances and connects to a separate laundry room. The terrace spans more than double the internal floor area, providing multiple zones for dining, lounging, and taking in uninterrupted sea views across the coast. South orientation ensures natural light throughout the day. The property includes one parking space and arrives unfurnished, ready for a buyer's own specification.
Reserva del Higuerón is a gated resort community offering residents access to a spa, gym, tennis and padel courts, multiple swimming pools, and landscaped gardens with 24-hour security. The complex sits 800 metres from Carvajal beach and 2.5 kilometres from Fuengirola's marina district. Málaga Airport lies 20 minutes north via the A-7 coastal motorway, whilst the Hilton hotel and its collection of restaurants operate within the same resort grounds as the penthouse.

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