About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Puerto Banús, Costa del Sol. Direct access to the sand places this residence within the Guadalpin Banús Hotel, where the property operates under a rental scheme delivering 8% net annual returns whilst owners retain personal use rights.
Inside, 110 square metres of living space divides into three en-suite bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The open-plan reception extends onto a 40-square-metre terrace facing the Mediterranean, with unobstructed sea views across the shoreline. Built in 2004, the apartment benefits from the hotel's on-site facilities, including 24-hour reception, concierge services, and direct beach access via a private gate. The layout separates the principal bedroom from the two guest suites, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light into the main living areas throughout the day.
The Guadalpin Banús Hotel sits on the beachfront between Puerto Banús marina and San Pedro de Alcántara, with the marina's restaurants and boutiques a seven-minute walk along the promenade. Marbella's Golden Mile begins three kilometres east, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 60 kilometres northeast via the AP-7. The hotel manages all lettings, maintenance, and guest services, with owners receiving quarterly income statements and advance booking windows for personal stays during peak summer months.

Buying this penthouse 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.
