About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in The Golden Mile, Costa del Sol. The property sits directly on Casablanca Beach, one of the coast's finest stretches of sand, where the shoreline is accessible within seconds of leaving the building. A west-facing orientation captures afternoon light across the living spaces, and the 40sqm terrace extends the usable area with glass curtains that shield from coastal winds whilst preserving the ocean air.
Inside, 182sqm of floor space accommodates an open-plan living and dining area that connects to the terrace through French doors. The kitchen comes fully fitted with integrated appliances and worktop space designed for daily use. The master suite opens directly onto the terrace and includes an en-suite bathroom, whilst two further bedrooms share a second bathroom. Built-in wardrobes line each bedroom, and hot and cold air conditioning runs throughout the apartment. The property was completed in 2002 and remains in excellent condition, with recent renovations updating the interiors to current standards.
Las Cañas Beach is a gated complex with 24-hour security, several communal swimming pools set within tropical gardens, and direct access to the sand. Marbella's Golden Mile places the apartment within walking distance of Puerto Banús, approximately 15 minutes on foot, where the marina hosts restaurants, boutiques and evening venues. The complex's frontline position means bars, shops and dining options sit within a short walk along the promenade. The ground-floor location allows level access from the entrance to the apartment without stairs.

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