About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Puerto Banús, Costa del Sol. This 145-square-metre residence sits just 100 metres from the sand, placing the Mediterranean shoreline within a two-minute walk from your front door. Completed in 2020 and recently renovated, the south-facing layout centres on a double terrace that opens directly from the living-dining area onto tropical gardens maintained by the complex.
Inside, the apartment delivers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen finished to a high standard. The principal living space flows without interruption to the outdoor terrace, which spans enough width to accommodate separate dining and lounging zones. Natural light fills each room throughout the day thanks to the southern orientation and full-height glazing. The property includes one underground parking space, air conditioning in all rooms, and fitted wardrobes in each bedroom. Every piece of furniture is included in the sale, from the kitchen appliances to the bedroom fittings.
La Alcazaba is a gated beachfront complex offering 24-hour security, a residents' gym, spa facilities, communal swimming pool, landscaped gardens, and concierge service. Puerto Banús marina lies 800 metres to the west, reachable on foot in under ten minutes along the promenade. The complex sits midway between the beach clubs of the Golden Mile and the restaurants and boutiques lining the harbour front, with direct pedestrian access to the coastal path that connects both.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment 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.
