About this property
Overview
<strong>Location, Location, Location!</strong>
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an <strong>absolute frontline beach villa</strong> in the highly sought-after Marbesa area of Marbella — with the Mediterranean literally at the edge of your garden.
Properties of this calibre and location seldom come to market, and with its <strong>wide sea frontage</strong> and uninterrupted views, this home is truly special.
From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its <strong>long landscaped driveway</strong> leading to the entrance. Inside, you'll find <strong>five spacious bedrooms</strong> (four en-suite), a <strong>split-level lounge and dining area</strong>, a <strong>separate kitchen</strong> and utility room and generous <strong>terraces and patios</strong> surrounding a large swimming pool. There is also a large ancillary lounge overlooking the pool giving you a separate lounge for children or guests to make use of. The <strong>master suite</strong>, occupying the entire first floor, is exceptionally large, offering panoramic sea views, ample wardrobe space, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. A <strong>separate double garage</strong> and beautifully <strong>floodlit gardens</strong> complete the home.
The villa has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 20 years and remains in <strong>excellent condition and fully liveable</strong> as it stands. However, with a touch of modern updating to incorporate today's latest features, it has the potential to become one of the <strong>most spectacular residences in all of Marbella</strong>.
Beyond the villa itself, the location is second to none. Marbesa is one of Marbella's most desirable beachside communities, with a relaxed charm and easy walking access to luxury beach clubs and restaurants, including the <strong>world-famous Nikki Beach</strong> and the <strong>legendary "Beach House". The beautiful quaint port of Cabopino is also a short walk along the golden sandy beach.</strong>
With its unique setting, expansive sea frontage, and endless potential, this is a property that must be seen to be fully appreciated. <strong>Viewing is highly recommended.</strong>

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