About this place
Benalmadena is one of the liveliest and best-connected towns on the Costa del Sol—and that is precisely what makes it such a solid choice, both as a place to live and as an investment opportunity. Halfway between Málaga and Marbella, the city offers everything international buyers are looking for: a bustling waterfront with the Puerto Marina marina, fine sandy beaches, quality restaurants, local shops, and quick access to Málaga International Airport in less than twenty minutes. The Benalmádena Cable Car, the old white village perched in the hills, and the authentic atmosphere of Benalmádena Pueblo complete the picture of a town that successfully blends modernity with Andalusian character. It is this rare balance—between accessibility, vibrancy, and a relaxed lifestyle—that attracts more and more European buyers each year seeking a solid foothold under the Spanish sun. Within this sought-after municipality, the Horizonte development stands out for its quiet and well-maintained residential setting, typical of carefully built communities on the Costa del Sol. Residents appreciate the tranquility of the common areas—swimming pool, landscaped gardens, and relaxation areas—while remaining just a few minutes' walk or drive from all the amenities along the seafront. This type of gated or semi-gated community attracts a diverse mix of permanent residents, families, and rental investors, which helps maintain a high standard of overall upkeep and a pleasant everyday atmosphere. For a buyer seeking the security of a structured residential environment without sacrificing proximity to local life, Horizonte offers exactly the right balance. The apartment itself features a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout—an ideal configuration for both a primary residence and rental use. This type of property is designed to maximize natural light, with living spaces opening onto the terrace, an outdoor extension that, in the Costa del Sol climate, becomes a true living space in its own right. The terrace is the heart of the apartment: it's where you enjoy your morning coffee, dine in the evening, and entertain guests. The two-suite layout offers privacy appreciated by couples, families with one child, or owners who wish to accommodate tenants in comfort. The entire property offers a quality-to-space ratio consistent with what the best developments in the area provide.
Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
