About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in The Golden Mile, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence spans 193 square metres of interior space with a 70-square-metre terrace, delivering uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean and towards La Concha mountain. The southeast orientation fills the open-plan living areas with natural light from morning through to early afternoon, while Scandinavian-inspired interiors feature wooden flooring and a neutral palette that emphasises the coastal setting.
Three en-suite bedrooms occupy the upper level of this duplex layout, each with direct terrace access and fitted wardrobes. The principal suite includes a dressing area and a bathroom with dual vanities. Downstairs, the reception room connects to a fully equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and a separate utility room. A guest cloakroom serves the ground-floor living space. Underfloor heating runs throughout both levels, and the property includes one parking space with an electric car charging point plus a dedicated storage room.
Monte Paraiso is a 24-hour security-gated complex with an indoor pool, gym, squash court, manicured gardens, concierge service, and an on-site restaurant. The urbanisation sits directly above Puente Romano resort, a two-minute drive down the hill, placing the penthouse within walking distance of Golden Mile beaches and less than ten minutes by car from Marbella's old town. The complex maintains year-round facilities including a spa and landscaped grounds that buffer residents from the coastal road below.

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