About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Puerto Banús, Costa del Sol. This duplex spans two levels with 132 square metres of interior space and an expansive 60-square-metre terrace, where south-facing orientation captures uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean and towards the mountains beyond.
The main floor houses both double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the living area extending onto a glazed terrace that now functions as a separate dining space. Upstairs, the private solarium opens across the rooftop with a multipurpose room and additional toilet, creating 192 square metres of total living space. The layout separates sleeping quarters from the entertainment level, whilst the gated complex provides one allocated parking space, multiple swimming pools, and manicured gardens maintained by on-site staff.
Terrazas de Banús sits beachfront with direct pedestrian access to the sand in under three minutes on foot. The marina's southern harbour, lined with restaurants and boutiques, lies 600 metres east along the promenade. Twenty-four-hour security and concierge services operate year-round within the development, which completed construction in 2001 and maintains good condition throughout its common areas and individual properties.

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