Eight-bedroom villa with sea views in Benahavis, Benahavis, Costa del Sol. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic vistas across the Mediterranean from this 1,696sqm residence, where the glass extends across the main living spaces to pull light and view into every corner of the ground floor.
The entrance level holds an open-plan living area with a fireplace dividing the lounge from the dining room and kitchen, which connects directly to an outdoor kitchen for uninterrupted indoor-outdoor cooking. Two guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms occupy this floor, whilst the first floor contains three further bedroom suites. The master suite spans its own level with a private terrace and sea-facing aspect. A lower ground floor adds two additional bedrooms, a cinema room, a gym, and a spa area with treatment space. The 1,963sqm plot includes a swimming pool and terraces on multiple levels, with covered and open sections following the south-to-west orientation.

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.
