About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse in Los Flamingos, Costa del Sol. This fully renovated corner unit occupies two levels within the gated Four Seasons community, with southwest orientation delivering natural light throughout the day and panoramic views across the Mediterranean, mountains, and fairways.
The 190-square-metre interior opens onto 98 square metres of terrace space distributed across both floors. The main level holds an open-plan living and dining area with a working fireplace, a contemporary kitchen fitted with integrated appliances, and two guest bedrooms serviced by two bathrooms. The upper floor is devoted entirely to the master suite, which claims the best vantage point in the property. Each bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, and the layout separates the principal suite from guest accommodation for privacy. Floor-to-ceiling glass connects indoor rooms to the wraparound terraces.
Villa Padierna Golf Resort provides 24-hour security, manicured communal gardens, and direct access to three championship golf courses designed by different architects. The complex sits 8 kilometres from Puerto Banús, where the marina holds restaurants and shops along the waterfront. Marbella's old town centre is a 15-minute drive east, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 60 kilometres along the autopista. The penthouse includes access to the resort's concierge services and communal swimming pools shared among residents in the Four Seasons enclave.

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