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