About Cabopino

The area is particularly popular with buyers who want a quieter, more relaxed alternative to Puerto Banús without leaving Marbella.

Penthouses in Cabopino, what to expect
Penthouses sit at the top of the apartment market and combine the convenience of communal living with the privacy of large private terraces, panoramic views and frequently a private plunge pool. They are particularly sought after for their open-air entertaining space and tend to hold value better than standard apartments in the same building.
Penthouse stock in Cabopino is genuinely scarce, typically the top floor of the mid-rise complexes around Cabopino marina, Artola dunes and Cabopino Golf, with large wrap-around terraces and flat coastal village backed by gently rising pine forest. Frontline buildings such as Playa de Artola carry the strongest resale premiums.
Solid summer short-let demand; year-round occupancy trails the more central marinas. The segment sits at a clear value discount to central Marbella for comparable specification, and tightly held village, the marina-side complexes rarely have more than a handful of resale units listed at any time.

Find Marbella plugs into that off-market layer alongside the full portal feed.
What does a typical penthouse in Cabopino look like?
Andalusian-style low-rise apartment complexes around the marina, with mid-sized villas in the pine-forested back streets. For penthouses specifically, that translates into stock that reflects Cabopino's character rather than generic Costa del Sol product, frontline marina or 2–5 minutes on foot to Artola dunes, with flat coastal village backed by gently rising pine forest.
Who is buying penthouses in Cabopino right now?
Quieter-lifestyle buyers and families who want marina charm without the Puerto Banús price tag. For penthouses, that buyer mix tends to keep demand resilient through the off-season as well as the summer peak.
Can foreigners buy a penthouse in Cabopino?
Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign buyers purchasing a penthouse in Cabopino or anywhere else in Spain. You will need an NIE number and a Spanish bank account. Budget approximately 10–13% of the purchase price on top of the headline figure (7% ITP on resale or 10% VAT + 1.2% Stamp Duty on new-build, plus notary, registry and legal fees).
Are penthouses in Cabopino a good rental investment?
Solid summer short-let demand; year-round occupancy trails the more central marinas. For penthouses, that translates into licensed VFT short-let yields typically in the 5–7% gross range for well-located stock (with proximity to Cabopino Golf a meaningful driver of winter occupancy). Long-let yields run closer to 4–5%.
