About this property
Five-bedroom villa with beachfront position in Bahía de Marbella, Costa del Sol. Direct access to the sand places this 693sqm residence among a rare collection of properties where the Mediterranean sits just beyond the garden gate. Built in 1998 with thick walls that regulate temperature naturally, the villa maintains cool interiors through summer and warmth during cooler months without relying heavily on mechanical systems.
The layout spreads across a 1,538sqm plot and includes five bathrooms, a private swimming pool, and covered parking for one vehicle. Reception rooms feature high ceilings and full-height windows that frame uninterrupted sea views, while the principal bedroom suite opens directly onto a terrace overlooking the water. The kitchen comes fully equipped and connects to a separate laundry area. Outside, mature planting provides privacy around the pool terrace, and a pergola-shaded dining area runs along the southern facade. The property is sold fully furnished with classic pieces chosen to complement the architecture.
Bahía de Marbella sits 8km east of Marbella's old town, a beachfront enclave known for its low-density development and direct sand access. The villa stands within walking distance of Nikki Beach, approximately 650 metres along the shore. Marbella centre lies 12 minutes by car, while Málaga Airport can be reached in 35 minutes via the A-7 coastal motorway. The ground floor includes a wine storage room with temperature control and space for approximately 200 bottles.

Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Bahia De 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
