About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Los Arqueros, Costa del Sol. This corner duplex occupies the top floor of its building, with a southwest orientation that captures afternoon light across 188 square metres of private outdoor space split between wraparound terraces and an exclusive rooftop solarium. The elevated position delivers uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean, with the mountain backdrop framing the horizon.
Inside, 119 square metres of built space centres on an open-plan living and dining area that connects directly to the main terrace through full-width glass doors. The corner position means natural light enters from two aspects, and the terrace wraps around the perimeter rather than sitting as a single strip. Three bedrooms include a principal suite, with two bathrooms serving the accommodation. The property comes fully furnished, with a designated parking space and access to a communal pool. The rooftop solarium adds a second tier of outdoor living, offering 360-degree views and complete privacy.
Los Arqueros sits within the municipality of Benahavís, positioned on elevated terrain above the coastal strip. The development centres on its golf course, which runs through the wider estate. Puerto Banús marina lies 8 kilometres south, reachable in under 15 minutes by car, while Marbella town centre sits 12 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal road. The solarium catches both sunrise over the mountains and sunset over the sea.

Buying this penthouse in Los Arqueros
Can foreigners buy property in Los Arqueros?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Los Arqueros. 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 Los Arqueros?
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.
