About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom villa with sea views in El Madroñal, Costa del Sol. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame uninterrupted Mediterranean panoramas from every level of this 869-square-metre contemporary residence, completed in 2025 on a 3,035-square-metre plot. The architecture centres on two glass cubes separated by an open courtyard where a mature olive tree grows beneath the sky, creating an indoor-outdoor atrium that floods the interior with natural light throughout the day.
The lower ground floor dedicates 200 square metres to wellness and entertainment: a spa zone with heated indoor pool, Finnish sauna and Turkish bath finished in micro-cementation, plus a fully equipped gym, games room with full-size pool table, bar area and temperature-controlled wine cellar. The main living level opens onto covered terraces and the outdoor swimming pool, whilst the six bedrooms and seven bathrooms occupy the upper floors. The property includes one covered parking space and benefits from a 2025 construction with contemporary finishes and integrated systems throughout.
El Madroñal sits in the hills above Benahavís, within a 24-hour gated and guarded community. The villa lies 12 minutes by car from San Pedro de Alcántara's beach promenade and marina, with Puerto Banús 15 minutes south and Marbella's Golden Mile a 20-minute drive along the coast. The spa's Finnish sauna uses traditional wood-fired heating, whilst the Turkish bath operates on a separate steam system with chromotherapy lighting.

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