About this property
Overview
Seven-bedroom villa with sea views in La Quinta, Costa del Sol. From this elevated position, the panorama sweeps 200 degrees across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and the North African coastline beyond, where two seas converge. Built in 2021 across 1,044m² of living space, the south-facing orientation captures natural light throughout the day whilst framing those uninterrupted vistas from multiple vantage points inside.
The accommodation unfolds over a 1,379m² plot and includes nine bathrooms, a separate guest apartment with its own bedroom and private access, and a private swimming pool. The interiors are fully furnished to a contemporary specification, with open-plan living areas that extend directly onto outdoor terraces. Floor-to-ceiling glazing connects each principal room to the views, and the layout prioritises privacy between sleeping quarters. The guest apartment functions independently from the main house, ideal for extended family or visiting guests who prefer their own entrance.
The villa sits within The Hills, a double-gated community of just 15 properties surrounded by maintained gardens and 24-hour security. La Quinta Golf & Country Club lies less than five minutes' drive away, whilst Puerto Banús marina is 10 minutes down the coast road. San Pedro town centre, with its weekly market and local restaurants, is a similar distance in the opposite direction.

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