About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This corner property sits directly on the sand with southwest orientation, delivering uninterrupted Mediterranean views from every bedroom and both bathrooms. The 118sqm interior opens onto a 35sqm terrace that captures afternoon sun and frames panoramic sea vistas across the coastline.
Inside, the layout prioritises light and sightlines. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living area connect directly to the terrace, where the sea stretches to the horizon. All three bedrooms face the water, with the principal bedroom offering direct terrace access. Two full bathrooms service the accommodation, both positioned to capture sea views. The apartment includes one allocated parking space and access to communal swimming pools set within landscaped gardens that border the beach.
The property occupies a gated development in Calahonda, positioned between Marbella and Fuengirola on the western Costa del Sol. Direct beach access means the sand lies just metres from the building entrance. La Cala de Mijas, with its marina, restaurants and golf courses, sits 3km east along the coast road. Málaga Airport lies 35 minutes by motorway, with the AP-7 toll road providing rapid connections to Marbella's Golden Mile and Puerto Banús. The building dates from 2001 and maintains excellent condition throughout its communal areas and individual residences.

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.
