About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with sea views in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol. This 440sqm new-build residence sits within a private gated development of just ten independent villas, where south-facing orientation ensures Mediterranean light fills the open-plan interiors from morning through to evening. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted sea views across the coastline, visible from multiple rooms and the outdoor terraces.
The ground floor opens onto a fluid living space connecting the kitchen, dining and lounge areas without internal walls, extending directly to covered and open terraces that wrap around the private swimming pool. All five bedrooms feature en-suite or dedicated bathroom access across the villa's 440 square metres, with the principal suite occupying its own level and opening to a private terrace. The property includes one secure parking space within the gated perimeter, whilst the outdoor areas provide multiple zones for dining, lounging and poolside relaxation under the southern Spanish sun.
Benalmadena Pueblo sits 450 metres above sea level on the hillside, placing this villa a four-minute drive from the historic village square and its whitewashed streets. The coast and Benalmadena marina lie 5.5 kilometres below, reachable in under ten minutes by car, whilst Malaga airport sits 17 kilometres east along the A-7 coastal motorway. The development's elevated position means the sea views remain protected by the topography, with no construction possible between the villas and the Mediterranean horizon.

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