About this property
Overview
Studio-bedroom Apartment with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This 42sqm property sits on the fifth floor with direct Mediterranean views from a 5sqm southwest-facing terrace. Fully renovated throughout, the apartment captures sunlight from morning through to evening, with the terrace positioned to overlook the sea rather than neighbouring buildings or communal areas.
Inside, an open-plan layout combines the kitchen and living space, fitted with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower with frameless glass screening and wall-mounted fixtures. Air conditioning runs through the main living area, and the apartment comes with one allocated parking space within the gated community grounds. The current configuration allows for flexible furniture placement, with the sleeping area separated from the living zone by a low partition or bookshelf rather than a full wall.
The property sits within a private complex featuring three communal swimming pools and landscaped gardens with direct beach access via a pedestrian gate. Calahonda's commercial centre, with supermarkets, restaurants and medical services, lies 800 metres inland on Avenida de España. Marbella town centre is a 20-minute drive west along the A7 coastal road, while Málaga Airport sits 35 kilometres to the northeast. The apartment holds eligibility for a tourist rental licence under current Andalusian regulations.

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