This property features a renovated, detached villa located on the frontline of Costabella beach, Málaga. The home offers six bedrooms and four bathrooms across a 436 m² living area on a 750 m² plot. The property is positioned directly on the beachfront with a south-facing orientation. Recent upgrades include a refurbished condition with modern technical amenities such as central air conditioning, underfloor heating, and a Sonos sound system throughout the residence.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in Costabella, an urban neighborhood on the eastern side of Marbella, directly bordering the coastline. The location is characterized by its immediate proximity to the sea, allowing direct access from the garden to the beach. It is a fully integrated residential area with year-round inhabitants and close proximity to essential services.
The layout supports a lifestyle where the primary living space is located on the ground floor, offering direct access to the covered terrace and heated pool. The bedrooms are distributed across three levels, providing physical separation for work and privacy, or accommodating multi-generational living and guests.
While originally built as existing construction, the property features a recent refurbishment. The condition is listed as 'Excellent' with current technical standards. As a renovated home rather than new build, it offers immediate occupancy without the typical wait times associated with off-plan construction.
The urban beachfront setting implies exposure to environmental noise from the coastal road and sea activity. The property lacks a private driveway or garage on the premises, meaning reliance on street parking is necessary. The plot size of 750 m² is relatively compact compared to rural villas in the hills.

This home suits those preferring permanent coastal living over the isolation of inland country estates. The six-bedroom layout is relevant for large families or those requiring frequent guest accommodation. The lack of a private driveway requires a buyer comfortable with street parking. It is also relevant for buyers prioritizing proximity to medical facilities and shops. Those seeking absolute silence and seclusion may need to consider the ambient noise levels of the coastal road and beach activity.
The property boasts a 'Recently Refurbished' status with an 'Excellent' condition rating. Finishes include a modern, open-plan kitchen connecting to dining and living areas. Technical luxuries include an advanced alarm system and Sonos audio. Bathrooms feature underfloor heating. The interior aesthetic observed is minimalist with neutral tones. Climate control is comprehensive, with air conditioning and heating in every room to manage the Mediterranean climate effectively.
The property is listed at a price of €6,500,000. This positions the home in the luxury segment for the Costabella/Málaga area. Pricing reflects the rarity of frontline beach properties in this urbanized zone. There may be room for negotiation, but the list price confirms its status as a high-value asset.
Costabella provides a living environment distinct from the gated communities found further inland. Living here means direct engagement with the vibrant Spanish coast. Daily amenities like supermarkets and dining are within walking distance, reducing reliance on a car. The proximity to El Alicate beach (557 meters) allows for morning walks and evening swims to become part of the daily rhythm. The presence of international schools indicates an established neighborhood for families and expats, ensuring the area remains active year-round rather than just seasonally.
Costabella is part of the greater Marbella/Málaga conurbation. It is a mature urban neighborhood. This means having access to pharmacies (546 m) and supermarkets (408 m) within a 500-meter radius. The density of restaurants and cafes supports a social lifestyle outside the home. The high building density provides a level of anonymity and bustle different from the quieter, suburban villa developments.
The map highlights the villa's position directly on the coastline, east of Marbella center. Distances to the beach, golf courses, and the airport are shown based on straight-line measurements. Green areas indicate the proximity of the Santa María golf course.
Costabella sits in a transition zone between dynamic Marbella and the larger urban area of Málaga. It lies east of Marbella center and Puerto Banús. This position allows residents to utilize Marbella's amenities without residing in the tourist core. The area is well-connected via the coastal road, providing access to the wider western Costa del Sol.
Located near the N-340 coastal highway, the villa offers direct access to Málaga and Marbella. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 33 km away (as the crow flies), approximately a 20-30 minute drive. Several golf courses, including Greenlife Golf and Santa María Golf, are within a 3 km radius. Marinas like Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen are also easily accessible by car.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), this villa commands a significantly higher price point due to its frontline beach position and square footage. While entry-level projects exist nearby, the scarcity of direct sea access in this area justifies the premium over inland villa projects like Astra Homes.
