La Sella is an established golf-and-lifestyle resort at the foot of the Montgó, built around a 27-hole course and a five-star Marriott hotel and spa, minutes from the beaches and town of Dénia. Ownership here revolves around resort living, golf access, community management and year-round use.

As part of the Valencia region, resale property here is taxed at 9% ITP (to €1M; 11% above).
Speak to an independent English-speaking property solicitor before you sign, pay a deposit or commit — especially if the property forms part of a resort community, is intended for rental or includes golf-related rights and obligations.
La Sella Golf Resort sits at the foot of the Montgó massif on the northern Costa Blanca, spread across the Dénia, Pedreguer and Jesús Pobre area and only minutes inland from Dénia’s beaches and town. It is an established golf-and-lifestyle resort built around a 27-hole course — developed in association with Jése María Olazábal — and a five-star Marriott hotel and spa, with a mix of villas, townhouses and apartments and a community of permanent residents and second-home owners.
As your English-speaking property solicitor at La Sella Golf, we run the full conveyancing process from reservation and Arras contract through NIE, due diligence, notary completion, tax filing and Land Registry registration. Typical files are resort villas, townhouses in the sub-communities, apartments, plots and the occasional new-build release.
Resort property has its own legal discipline. The most important work here is around the resort-community framework: the statutes that govern rentals, alterations and common areas, the community fees and any special levies, the position on golf and facility access, and the resort-infrastructure obligations of ownership. As part of the Valencia region, resale property is taxed at 9% ITP (to €1M; 11% above); new build attracts IVA 10% plus AJD instead.

La Sella legal risk is resort-community and villa/plot risk. Seven themes drive most reviews.
The resort community governs rentals, alterations, common areas and owner obligations. We review the statutes and accounts.
Costs vary by property type and sub-community. We confirm the figure, what it covers and any special levies.
Golf membership and facility rights are separate from property ownership — we confirm exactly what attaches to the property.
For new releases, developer contracts, bank guarantees, stage payments and licences all need checking before you pay.
Boundaries, pool and extension legality, access and registration on detached homes and plots.
Short-let requires Valencian tourist registration (vivienda turística) and community permission. Both checked.
Foreign owners file annual Modelo 210 even when un-let, plus quarterly Modelo 210 on rental income.

For new-build, the developer’s team represents the developer. Independent review is the protection.
We act only for the buyer or seller — not for the resort or its management.
Never both sides of the same transaction.
Resort community statutes, golf-access rights and resort-title structures are core work for us.
If the community position, golf rights, title or tax profile do not work, we say so clearly.
