About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with sea views in Benahavis, Costa del Sol. This fully renovated residence occupies 150 square metres of contemporary living space within the secure Acosta Los Flamingos development, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean and the golf course fairways. The south-west and west-facing orientation floods the interiors with natural light throughout the day, whilst the open-plan design connects each room to the coastal horizon beyond.
The accommodation comprises four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a dedicated staff bedroom with its own facilities. The kitchen follows an American-style layout, integrated into the 150-square-metre living area to create a single entertaining space that extends onto a 50-square-metre terrace. This outdoor room functions as a genuine extension of the interior, large enough for both dining and lounging zones. The property includes one parking space, and furniture can be negotiated separately.
Acosta Los Flamingos sits within a gated complex offering communal pool, manicured gardens, and 24-hour security. Los Flamingos Golf Course runs directly adjacent to the development, with the clubhouse accessible within a three-minute walk. The complex occupies an elevated position in the Benahavis hills, providing both privacy and proximity to the coast, whilst the surrounding terrain of cork oak and pine creates a backdrop that contrasts with the maintained fairways below.

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