About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with beachfront position in Guadalmina Baja, Costa del Sol. This freestanding property sits on its own 402sqm private plot within the Las Bóvedas community, placing you directly on the sand with uninterrupted sea access. The 303sqm interior features structured ceiling details and a grand central staircase that anchors the entrance hallway, while a statement fireplace adds architectural weight to the main living space.
Across five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the layout spreads over two floors with generous room proportions throughout. The ground floor opens to a covered entrance that leads into the principal reception areas, where full-height windows frame the beachfront aspect. Outside, the private garden includes a swimming pool positioned to maximise the coastal views, with direct pedestrian access to the beach eliminating the need for car journeys to the shore. Built in 1995 and maintained in good condition, the villa retains original character features that give each room a distinct personality.
Las Bóvedas occupies a frontline position in Guadalmina Baja, one of the quieter stretches of beachfront west of Marbella's busier coastal developments. The community sits 8 kilometres from Puerto Banús, accessible via the coastal road in under 12 minutes by car. Guadalmina Golf Club lies 1.5 kilometres inland, while the beachfront promenade extends in both directions from the property, connecting a series of chiringuitos and beach clubs that operate year-round along this section of coast.

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