Why a penthouse on the Costa del Sol?
More and more buyers on the Costa del Sol choose the top floor. There are no neighbours above you, the sun reaches your terrace all day and the view is yours. A penthouse combines the ease of an apartment (security, shared pool, maintenance taken care of) with the outdoor space of a villa.
On the Costa del Sol most penthouses are on the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús in Marbella, the New Golden Mile in Estepona, La Quinta in Benahavís, Los Boliches in Fuengirola, Benalmádena Costa and La Malagueta in Málaga. In new developments the penthouse is often the first home to sell.
Duplex, solarium or private pool: which penthouse suits you?
A classic penthouse has one floor with a large wraparound terrace. A duplex penthouse adds a second level with a solarium or an extra bedroom on the roof. New builds often include a private roof terrace with a jacuzzi or plunge pool. Check the orientation: a south or south-west facing terrace gets the most sun and the best evenings.
What should you check when buying a penthouse?
Ask about the condition of the roof and the waterproofing of the terrace, as these costs are sometimes borne by the owner alone. Check that the solarium and any roofed areas are legally registered and that the lift reaches your floor. For new builds, compare the terrace area with the living area: it drives a large part of the price.
What does buying cost on top of the price?

Frequently asked questions
How many penthouses are for sale on the Costa del Sol?
Today there are 1,382 penthouses for sale on the Costa del Sol. The figure is updated daily from our resale and new-build listings.
Is a duplex penthouse more expensive than a standard one?
Usually yes, because you get an extra level or solarium. Per square metre of living space the gap is smaller, as terraces only partly count towards the price.
Can I rent out a penthouse on the Costa del Sol?
Holiday letting is possible if the building allows it and you obtain a licence (VUT). Since 2025 the community of owners must in many cases approve holiday letting first. We check this before you make an offer.
