About this property
Overview
9-bedroom Villa with sea views in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol. This south-facing property commands a 6,385sqm hillside plot that descends in landscaped terraces towards the Mediterranean, with uninterrupted panoramic vistas across the coastline from multiple levels. The 750sqm build includes a self-contained guest apartment with separate entrance, allowing flexible use for extended family or rental income while maintaining privacy in the main residence.
Inside, the layout spans three distinct floors connected by an internal staircase and includes a basement level housing a games room, utility room and substantial storage areas. The ground level holds a fully fitted kitchen with separate utility room, a formal dining room, and a living room with fireplace that opens directly onto a 150sqm covered terrace. Eight bathrooms serve the nine bedrooms, one of which functions as a dedicated study. The property features air conditioning throughout, double glazing, electric blinds, fitted wardrobes in all bedrooms, alarm system, security shutters, and a reinforced entrance door. A barbecue area sits adjacent to the private swimming pool, which overlooks both the gardens and the sea beyond.
The villa sits 2.8km from Benalmadena Pueblo, the whitewashed hilltop village that retains its Andalusian character above the coastal developments. Benalmadena Marina lies 4km downhill, reachable in seven minutes by car, while three golf courses operate within a 10-minute radius. The property includes one garage space plus additional parking within the gated entrance.

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