About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This top-floor position delivers uninterrupted views across the coastline from a 75sqm solarium-style terrace where the Mediterranean stretches to the horizon. The south-facing orientation ensures sunlight throughout the day, whether you're dining outside or simply watching the sea change colour from dawn to dusk.
Inside, 171sqm of built space includes a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, and a second full bathroom. The living and dining area centres around a working fireplace, while the independent kitchen connects to a separate utility room with space for laundry equipment. Each bedroom opens directly onto the terrace, extending the usable living area by nearly half again. The property comes fully furnished and includes one designated parking space within the complex.
Bonita Hills sits elevated in the Calahonda hills, surrounded by natural terrain that rises behind the development whilst the coast spreads out below. The complex provides a communal pool and maintained gardens shared among residents. Calahonda's commercial centre, with supermarkets, restaurants and services, lies 2 kilometres downhill, whilst Marbella's western edge is a 15-minute drive along the A-7 coastal road. The apartment was built in 1986 and remains in good condition throughout.

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