Why a penthouse

Why buy a penthouse on the Costa del Sol

The top floor is worth more on the Costa del Sol than anywhere else: 320 sunny days make the roof terrace a fully fledged extra living level.

🌅

Unobstructed sea views

The top floor means the best view in the building: over the Mediterranean and, on clear days, Gibraltar and the African coast.

🏖️

Roof terrace lifestyle

Solarium, outdoor kitchen, jacuzzi or plunge pool: in this climate you live outdoors for half the year, with a privacy that a lower floor never offers.

📈

Scarce & value-stable

Each complex has only a handful of penthouses. That structural scarcity makes penthouses the most value-stable apartment category on the coast, on the rental market too.

💶

For every budget

Entry-level penthouses in Manilva and Torremolinos from around €270,000, mid-range in Fuengirola and Mijas, premium in Estepona and Benahavís, all the way up to ultra-high-end on Marbella's Golden Mile (€10M+).

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying a penthouse on the Costa del Sol

Honest answers to the questions international buyers ask most often.

What makes a penthouse different from an ordinary top-floor apartment?

A true penthouse is the top home in the building, with a substantial (roof) terrace and the best sightlines. In Spanish listings, "ático" is sometimes used loosely: for each property we check whether it really is the top residential floor, how large the terrace is and whether it comes with a private solarium.

Where can I buy a penthouse most cheaply, and where is it most expensive?

You will find the most affordable entry point in Manilva and Torremolinos. The most expensive segment is in Marbella (Golden Mile, Puerto Banús) and the golf hinterland of Benahavís.

Is a penthouse worth the premium over a lower-floor apartment?

In the same complex, a penthouse typically costs 15–35% more than an identical apartment on a lower floor. In return you get the best views, more outdoor space, more privacy and stronger capital growth and rental appeal. Penthouses also resell more quickly: scarcity works in your favour when you sell.

What should I look out for with the roof terrace?

Three things: the legal status (does the solarium officially belong to the property, or is it communal?), the technical condition (waterproofing of the roof is crucial and costly) and the alteration rules of the comunidad and the municipality. WeSellHomes.es checks all three before you make an offer.

Is a penthouse on the Costa del Sol a good rental investment?

Penthouses consistently command premium rates on the rental market: holiday letting typically yields 5–8% gross, higher than standard apartments. Short-term letting requires an RTA licence and often approval from the comunidad. Before purchase, we check whether the penthouse can be let and prepare a yield calculation.

What are the additional costs when buying a penthouse?

For a resale property you pay 7% transfer tax (ITP). For a new build, 10% VAT (IVA) plus 1.2% stamp duty (AJD). On top of that come notary fees, land registry registration and legal support. Allow a total of 10–13% on top of the purchase price. We prepare a transparent cost breakdown in advance for each penthouse.

Can I get a mortgage as a foreign buyer for a penthouse in Spain?

Yes. As a non-tax-resident of Spain, a Spanish bank will usually finance a maximum of 60–70% of the purchase price. So you contribute at least 30–40% of your own funds, plus the additional costs. WeSellHomes.es arranges a free mortgage check with English-speaking mortgage advisers.

How does the purchase process for a penthouse work, step by step?

Offer → reservation contract → contrato de arras (10% deposit) → legal due diligence → escritura at the notary. For a resale property this takes 6–12 weeks on average. With a new build you pay in instalments during construction, with a bank guarantee on every payment. During the due diligence we also check the status of the roof terrace and the rental options. WeSellHomes.es guides you through the entire process in English.

Why choose WeSellHomes.es as your estate agent on the Costa del Sol?

WeSellHomes.es is a GIPE-registered, English-speaking estate agent based on the Costa del Sol, with more than 20 years of local experience, knowledge of the penthouse floors in each complex and access to both listed and off-market properties. As a buyer, you pay us nothing. Feel free to get in touch via our contact page.

It is not compulsory, but there are 974 penthouses for sale on the Costa del Sol, with asking prices from €239,000 to €24,000,000. The difference lies mainly in location, year of construction and condition, and you cannot see that from a listing.

Data as of 14 September 2026.

Dankzij de juiste begeleiding van onze aankoopmakelaar Marleen hebben wij met vertrouwen ons droomhuis kunnen vinden. Het hele proces werd helder uitgelegd, er werd meegedacht en vervolgens goed geschakeld. De communicatie was snel en prettig, waardoor we ons gedurende het hele traject ondersteund voelden. Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die een woning wil kopen in Spanje.

Elvira

Muy profesionales y transparentes

Marielle Raben

Onze ervaring met We Sell Homes, en in het bijzonder Yasmin, was zeer positief bij de verkoop van ons grondstuk in Spanje. Vanaf het begin verliep de communicatie duidelijk en transparant, en werd er echt de tijd genomen om alles goed toe te lichten. Wij werden gedurende het hele traject zorgvuldig op de hoogte gehouden, wat voor veel vertrouwen zorgde. Ook het feit dat alles in het Nederlands kon worden besproken, hebben wij als een groot voordeel ervaren. Wij kijken terug op een prettige samenwerking en kunnen We Sell Homes en Yasmin van harte aanbevelen. Absoluut een 10 waard!

marco nijholt

Marleen heeft voor ons het perfecte huis gevonden dat volledig aan onze wensen voldeed én waarin wij ons bedrijf konden starten. Ze was ontzettend betrokken en hield regelmatig contact gedurende het hele proces. Omdat wij nog in Nederland woonden, heeft Marleen ons op afstand begeleid en door alle formaliteiten heen geloodst. Ze stond altijd klaar met raad en daad, wat enorm prettig was, zeker als je zelf niet ter plaatse bent. Haar kennis en ervaring gaven ons veel vertrouwen. Wij waarderen haar inzet enorm en bevelen Marleen van We Sell Homes dan ook van harte aan als een betrouwbare en betrokken makelaar.

Jeroen de Laat

Eind 2025 in contact gekomen met We Sell Homes. Na enkele uitvoerige gesprekken over must haves en nice to haves met Yasmin hebben we een selectie van appartementen doorgespit en zijn we gericht naar Spanje afgereisd om de top 4 te bezien. Duidelijke communicatie en goede afspraken hebben ervoor gezorgd dat we ondertussen eigenaar zijn geworden van een appartement in Estepona! Yasmin super bedankt voor de persoonlijke service en duidelijke communicatie.

Sabine Dijkema

Een huis kopen in Spanje; dat werkt echt anders dan in Nederland kan ik met 100% vertellen. Alles werkt anders, écht anders. Waar je in Nederland denkt het op sommige punten zelf te kunnen, kan je dat hier écht niet. Je hebt iemand nodig die je adviseert, met kennis van de markt, die naast je staat, je belangen behartigd en die je 100% kan vertrouwen. En zo iemand; dat is Frank. Van het eerste contact tot na ontvangst van de sleutels; Frank is er voor je. Met open blik, pragmatisch, enorme kennis van de markt, weet welke wegen te bewandelen, snelle reactie en beschikbaarheid en boven alles: eerlijk. En dat is wat ik iedereen gun in zijn of haar zoektocht naar de droomplek onder de zon van Andalusië.
