About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with private pool in La Alcaidesa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence occupies one of the forward blocks within the development, offering uninterrupted views across to the sea and Gibraltar. The 108-square-metre terrace wraps around the living space, providing room for both the private pool and multiple seating areas that capture the southeast sun from morning through late afternoon.
Inside, 131 square metres of living space includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged across a single level. The open-plan layout connects the kitchen, dining and living areas, with floor-to-ceiling glass opening directly onto the terrace. Each bedroom receives natural light from the southeast orientation, whilst the principal suite includes an en-suite bathroom. The penthouse comes with one allocated parking space and access to the communal pool and landscaped gardens within Alcaidesa Homes.
The complex sits within Alcaidesa Homes, a gated community positioned between two championship golf courses. Hacienda Links Golf Course lies within a five-minute walk, offering both the Links layout and the Heathland Course. The new Fairmont Hotel is a short downhill walk from the entrance, whilst the beach can be reached in approximately 15 minutes on foot via the tunnel that passes beneath the fairway. Completion is scheduled for 2026.

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