About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. The rooftop terrace delivers 91 square metres of outdoor space, anchored by a private plunge pool that occupies the upper level of this duplex layout. Built in 2017, the property spans 115 square metres of interior space across two floors, with the ground level configured as an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that connects directly to a separate terrace below.
The kitchen sits within the main living zone without partitions, and floor-to-ceiling glazing runs along the terrace-facing wall to pull natural light through both storeys. Two bedrooms occupy the lower floor, each with an en-suite bathroom, while the upper floor is given entirely to the terrace and pool. A single parking space is included with the sale. The property comes in good condition with optional furniture available, and the development includes a communal pool alongside the private rooftop installation.
Aqua sits within walking distance of San Pedro's town centre, placing the penthouse 1.5 kilometres from the beachfront promenade and roughly ten minutes on foot from the weekly street market on Calle Marqués del Duero. The boulevard runs parallel to the coast and connects San Pedro to Puerto Banús, five kilometres east along the shoreline.

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