About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Marbella, Costa del Sol. Panoramic Mediterranean vistas stretch across the horizon from the private terrace, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the coastline and create an uninterrupted connection between indoor and outdoor space. The 150sqm layout centres on an open-plan living area designed to maximise natural light, with the terrace extending the entertaining space across both sea-facing and mountain-facing aspects.
Inside, the penthouse provides two bedrooms and three bathrooms across a single level. The open-plan kitchen and living area flows directly onto the terrace through full-height glass doors. Both bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, with an additional guest bathroom positioned near the main living space. The property comes fully furnished, with contemporary pieces selected to complement the clean lines and neutral palette throughout. High-quality finishes include polished surfaces in the bathrooms and integrated appliances in the kitchen.
Nine Lions Residences is a gated development with 24-hour security, a communal swimming pool, a residents' gym, and spa facilities. The complex sits within Marbella's residential hillside, 3.5 kilometres from Puerto Banús marina, where the waterfront restaurants and designer boutiques line the harbour. The development's elevated position provides the sea views whilst maintaining proximity to the coast and Marbella's Golden Mile, both accessible within a ten-minute drive.

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