About this property
Overview
A five-bedroom villa with sea views in Benahavis, Costa del Sul. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted panoramas across the Mediterranean from a southeast-facing position that captures morning light and holds it through the afternoon. The heated infinity pool extends the visual line towards the horizon, its edge designed to blur the boundary between water and sky.
Inside, 520 square metres of living space unfolds across two floors and a basement, with underfloor heating throughout the 2025-built structure. The fully fitted oak kitchen includes integrated Miele appliances and opens onto 313 square metres of terrace space. Five en-suite bedrooms each claim a section of the sea view, whilst the additional guest cloakroom serves the ground-floor reception areas. The 1,208-square-metre plot provides enough garden to frame the villa without overwhelming the outdoor terraces, which step down in levels to follow the natural fall of the land.
Puerto del Capitán's gated community wraps around its own golf course, where 24-hour security monitors the access roads that wind uphill from the coast. The development sits 8 kilometres inland from Puerto Banús marina, a 12-minute drive down through the valley when the coast road is clear. Benahavis village centre, known for its hillside restaurants, lies 3 kilometres to the north along the winding mountain road.

9 questions answered
Buying this villa 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.
