Sea views
Sea-view homes for sale on the Costa del Sol
Breakfast with the Mediterranean in front of you and, on a clear day, views all the way to Gibraltar and Africa. Here you'll find the current selection of apartments, penthouses and villas with sea views in Spain, from the seafront promenade in Fuengirola to the hills of Benahavís, with numbers and prices per municipality updated every day.
Short answer: On the Costa del Sol, sea views are the rule rather than the exception, because the mountains come down so close to the coast. We currently have 6,247 homes with sea views in our portfolio. On 27 October 2026 these were mainly apartments, followed by villas and penthouses, and a large share of them were new builds. You'll find panoramic sea views mostly higher up in the hills. Close to the water the sea is nearer, but the view is often narrower.

What kind of sea view will you get?
In property listings, "sea views" can mean very different things. Panoramic sea views mean you can see a wide stretch of sea from the terrace, often with the coastline too. Partial sea views might be a glimpse of sea between two buildings. So always ask for photos or a video taken from the terrace and the living room, and check which floor the property is on.
The higher the home, the wider the view. In the hills of Benahavís, Altos de los Monteros in Marbella or La Cala Hills in Mijas, you can see as far as Gibraltar and the African coast on a clear day. On the seafront promenade the sea is closer, but the view is narrower and there's more going on in the street.
Will the sea views last?
A key question with any sea-view home: could something be built in front of it? Your lawyer or architect will check the municipality's zoning plan (PGOU) to see which plots between the property and the sea can still be built on, and to what height. For homes high on a hillside, with a nature reserve or golf course in front, the risk is generally lower.
With an off-plan new build, look at the site layout: which blocks stand in front of yours and how tall they will be. Ask for the plans of the entire development, not just your own property.
How much does a home with sea views on the Costa del Sol cost?
You'll find prices for each municipality in the table above, updated daily. Sea views push up the price, but by how much depends on how wide and unobstructed the view is. In Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Manilva you can find sea-view apartments on a smaller budget than in Marbella or Benahavís.
On top of the price come the buying costs: roughly 9 to 10% for a resale property and 12 to 13% for a new build. You'll find everything set out on our page about buying costs.
Location and orientation
On the Costa del Sol, the sea lies to the south. That means a property with sea views usually faces south or south-west too: plenty of sun on the terrace and light indoors, even in winter. In summer, a covered terrace, sun shading and good glazing keep you comfortable.
Pay attention to noise as well. Sea-view properties sometimes sit above the A-7 coastal road or the AP-7. You'll then hear the traffic from the terrace, especially when the wind blows from the south. Viewing at different times of day gives you the clearest picture.
How do we search for you?
The list above shows the properties currently online. Through our network we also have access to properties that aren't publicly marketed. Tell us how important sea views are to you, what your budget is and which municipality you'd like to live in, and we'll put together a selection and plan the viewings around your trip.
Frequently asked questions about properties with sea views
Where are the best sea views on the Costa del Sol?
Panoramic sea views are mainly found higher up in the hills, such as in Benahavís, Altos de los Monteros in Marbella or La Cala Hills in Mijas. On a clear day you can see all the way to Gibraltar and Africa.
Could new construction block my sea views?
That depends on the zoning plan (PGOU). Your lawyer or architect checks which plots in front of the property can still be built on, and to what height.
Is a property with sea views more expensive?
Yes, but the difference depends on how wide and unobstructed the view is. In Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Manilva you can find sea views on a smaller budget than in Marbella or Benahavís.
What does panoramic sea view mean?
From the terrace you see a wide stretch of sea, often with the coastline too. A partial sea view can simply be a glimpse of sea between other buildings.

For a resale property, about 9 to 10% (7% transfer tax plus notary, Land Registry and lawyer's fees). For a new build, about 12 to 13% (10% VAT, 1.2% stamp duty and the other costs).
