About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in La Alcaidesa, Costa del Sol. This corner residence on the top floor delivers uninterrupted sightlines across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and the African coastline beyond. The 114-square-metre south-facing terrace wraps around the living spaces, extending the 146 square metres of interior into an open-air room where the horizon becomes part of the daily backdrop.
Floor-to-ceiling windows connect each of the three bedrooms and two bathrooms to natural light and sea air throughout the day. The open-plan kitchen features Gaggenau appliances and flows directly into the living area, which opens onto the terrace through sliding glass panels. Built in 2022, the penthouse includes one underground parking space and comes with optional furniture. The complex provides a swimming pool, gym, and spa facilities, all within a beachfront setting that places sand and water a short walk from the front door.
The Links II sits directly on the La Alcaidesa shoreline, with the La Alcaidesa Links Golf Course less than 400 metres from the entrance. Sotogrande Marina lies 10 minutes by car to the east, whilst Gibraltar's international airport is a 15-minute drive west. The position on the top floor means the terrace captures both sunrise over the sea and evening light as it shifts across the Strait, with the African peaks visible on clear afternoons.

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.
