About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This duplex spans 252 square metres across two floors, with 274 square metres of south-facing terraces that frame the Mediterranean coastline. The lower level holds two bedrooms, while the entire upper floor is dedicated to the master suite, creating genuine separation between shared and private space.
The main terrace extends directly from the open-plan living area and kitchen, offering uninterrupted views across the sea. Both guest bedrooms sit on the entrance level, each with its own bathroom, and the property includes a guest toilet for visitors. The master suite occupies the top floor in full: bedroom, bathroom and a private terrace that captures morning light and coastal panoramas without interruption. One underground parking space is included, and the south orientation ensures natural light throughout the day.
La Morera is a gated beachfront complex with direct access to the sand, plus a communal pool, gym, spa facilities and landscaped gardens under 24-hour security. The property sits in Marbella East, 10 minutes by car from Marbella's old town and within walking distance of several beach clubs along the Elviria coastline. Built in 2005 and maintained in excellent condition, the penthouse benefits from the complex's position between the dunes and the first line of residential development, with the beach reachable on foot in under three minutes.

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