This detached villa is situated in Guadalmina Alta, on the western side of Marbella within an established golf urbanisation. The property dates from 2006 and offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 381 square metres of living space on a 600 square metre plot. The asking price is a fixed €1,900,000. The house has a southeast orientation with views across the Guadalmina golf course, a private swimming pool and terraces on several levels. Daily amenities, several golf courses and the beaches of San Pedro Alcántara are all within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Guadalmina Alta, a residential district west of Marbella centre and inland of the coastal road. The nearest beach, Playa Atalaya, lies 2.3 km away as the crow flies. A supermarket and pharmacy are both 1.1 km away. Three golf courses sit within roughly three kilometres, and Marbella town is 11 km away in a straight line.
With four en-suite bedrooms, a lower level suitable for a gym, cinema or games room, a garage and storage, the house accommodates a family household as well as visiting guests. The private pool, covered terrace and garden-facing living areas support outdoor use for most of the year given the local climate of 12 to 26 degrees average monthly temperature.
This is an existing, completed home, not a new-build project. Construction was finished in 2006 and the property is described as key-ready and in excellent condition. There is no delivery phase or construction risk; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and occupancy. The climate systems, including aerothermal underfloor heating, are already installed.
The property is a villa within an urbanisation and does not offer direct beach access; the coast is roughly 2.3 km away by road. The plot of 600 square metres is moderate for a villa of this size. Parking is limited to the private garage. Public transport exists in the wider area but daily life is more practical with a car, particularly for shopping and airport journeys.
This house fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Marbella area year-round will find four en-suite bedrooms, two schools within two kilometres and an international school 2.6 km away, which reduces the school run to minutes. Buyers seeking a golf-base residence will value the frontline position relative to the Guadalmina course and the presence of three further courses within three kilometres, including El Campanario and El Paraíso. It also suits a household planning a semi-permanent move later in life: the single-level main floor with an en-suite bedroom allows ground-floor living, while the upper floor and basement remain available for family and hobbies. The aerothermal underfloor heating and hot-and-cold air conditioning make the house comfortable across the full calendar, not only in summer. The profile fits less well for buyers who want to walk to the beach every day; the coast is a short drive rather than a stroll. Equally, anyone seeking an apartment with concierge services or a gated resort with communal facilities will find this is a different product: a private villa in a low-density neighbourhood where the owner manages their own pool and garden. A car remains the practical mode for most journeys, including the roughly 40-minute trip to Málaga Airport.
The villa was completed in 2006 and is presented in excellent condition, with a layout typical of quality Andalusian construction of that period. The main floor contains an entrance hall, a combined living and dining area with direct terrace access, a fully fitted modern kitchen and a large en-suite bedroom. The upper floor carries three further en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with a private terrace oriented towards the golf course. This arrangement gives every bedroom its own bathroom, a layout more common in higher-priced stock than in the general market. On the technical side, the house combines hot and cold air conditioning with underfloor heating powered by aerothermal technology, an energy-efficient heat-pump system that extracts warmth from ambient air. A fireplace adds a supplementary heat source for winter evenings. Fitted wardrobes are present in the sleeping areas, and a covered terrace extends the usable outdoor season by providing shade and shelter. The lower level is unfinished in function rather than in finish: it is a versatile space that can serve as a home gym, cinema or games room, together with a garage and a separate storage room. Buyers should note that details of the exact kitchen appliances, window glazing and any subsequent renovations since 2006 are best verified during a viewing or through a technical survey, which is standard practice for a property of this age on the Costa del Sol.
The asking price is a fixed €1,900,000 for the property as a whole; it is not a from-price and there is no unit variation, since this is a single existing home. At 381 square metres of built area, this corresponds to roughly €4,985 per square metre, on a 600 square metre plot with private pool and garage. The property is completed (2006) and available immediately upon transfer of title. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and annual running costs such as IBI and community fees where applicable.
Guadalmina Alta is the older, greener section of the Guadalmina urbanisation, built around the fairways of one of the Costa del Sol's longest-established golf clubs. Life here follows a quiet residential rhythm. Mornings often begin on the terrace: the southeast orientation brings sun from early in the day, and the master bedroom upstairs has its own terrace looking over the course. The ground floor connects the living and dining area directly to the outdoor space, so the pool and garden function as an extension of the house rather than a separate zone. The lower level adds a flexible room that current market convention uses as a gym, cinema or games room, plus a garage and storage. Daily practicalities are close at hand. A supermarket and a pharmacy are each about 1.1 km away, and within two kilometres the data lists thirty-one restaurants, fourteen cafés, two schools and eleven banks. The hospital is 3.1 km away. Puerto Banús and its marina lie under five kilometres to the east, while Marbella town centre is eleven kilometres in a straight line. The area is flat towards the coast, with a gradient of about 1.7 percent, so walking and cycling are realistic options for short trips. Outside the summer months the district stays noticeably calm, as most properties are owner-occupied rather than short-term holiday lets.
The surrounding area combines residential calm with dense everyday amenities. Within two kilometres the data records thirty-one restaurants, fourteen cafés, twelve pharmacies, eleven banks and two schools, an unusually complete set for what is essentially a low-rise residential district. The nearest supermarket sits 1.1 km away, making a quick shopping trip a five-minute drive or a short cycle. Healthcare is covered by a hospital 3.1 km away. Transport-wise, the area is served by eight public transport lines with fifty stops, which places basic mobility within reach without a car, although most residents keep one for comfort. Electric-vehicle owners will find charging infrastructure 2.7 km away, with Tesla Superchargers at Estepona (5.6 km) and Marbella (7.7 km). Málaga Airport is roughly 40 minutes by car, and Gibraltar Airport lies about 48 km away in a straight line to the southwest. Recreation within walking and short driving distance includes the Apolo sports centre (1.0 km), three golf clubs within three kilometres, and the beaches of Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro, each around 2.3 to 2.5 km away. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at 4.9 km, adds marina facilities and nightlife options, while several viewpoints in the hills offer walking destinations at four to five kilometres.
The map shows the villa's position in Guadalmina Alta, immediately west of San Pedro Alcántara. Note the cluster of golf courses around the property and the short straight-line distance to the beaches of Playa Atalaya and Playa de San Pedro. Marbella and Puerto Banús lie to the east along the coast.

Guadalmina Alta occupies the transition zone between San Pedro Alcántara and Estepona on the western Costa del Sol, eleven kilometres from Marbella in a straight line and roughly 55 km from Algeciras. The district belongs to Marbella municipality but functions as its own established community centred on the golf club. Regionally, it positions residents closer to Estepona and the west than to central Marbella, while remaining within a 40-minute drive of Málaga Airport. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, it represents the mature, low-density villa segment of the market, as distinct from the apartment-heavy coastal strip and the newer developments further west.
Straight-line distances from the property: the nearest beaches (Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe, Playa de San Pedro) are 2.3 to 2.5 km; Marbella is 11 km; the hospital is 3.1 km; and the airport is 47 km, roughly a 40-minute drive by car. Actual road distances are longer than these figures, which are measured as the crow flies. Golf is the most accessible leisure category: El Campanario Golf Course lies 2.0 km away, El Higueral 2.2 km and El Paraíso Golf Club 2.8 km, in addition to the Guadalmina course on the doorstep. Puerto Banús marina is 4.9 km away. For education, two schools sit within two kilometres and The International School of Estepona is 2.6 km away. Public transport covers the area with eight lines and fifty stops, so a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for every trip. Parking is provided by the private garage on the plot.

Guadalmina Alta sits at a modest 41 metres above sea level on nearly flat terrain, the gradient towards the beach is approximately 1.7 percent, so there are no significant slopes between the house and the coast. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.1 degrees and monthly averages ranging from 12 degrees in winter to 26 degrees in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 degrees or above, lasts about five months, typically from late spring into early autumn. The nearby natural anchors are the golf courses and the coastal strip, with the Sierra Bermeja foothills visible further west. Walking destinations include the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.3 km) and Mirador del Muelle de Honor (4.7 km). The southeast orientation of the villa works with this climate: main terraces receive morning and midday sun in winter, while the covered terrace offers shade during the hotter months. With underfloor heating and air conditioning installed, the house is prepared for both ends of the temperature range.

Three beaches lie within 2.3 to 2.5 km of the villa as the crow flies: Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro. These are the broad, sandy stretches characteristic of the San Pedro Alcántara frontage, backed by the seaside promenade that runs towards Puerto Banús. A beach trip is therefore a five-minute drive or a longer walk and cycle along the flat coastal route. Golf is the dominant recreation in the immediate area. Beyond the Guadalmina course itself, El Campanario (2.0 km), El Higueral (2.2 km) and El Paraíso (2.8 km) give residents four options within a short radius, with clubhouses such as El Paraíso Golf Clubhouse 2.7 km away. For other sports, the Apolo sports centre is 1.0 km away and the Middle Pool and Top Pool facilities lie 1.4 km from the property. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at 4.9 km, provides marina berths, water sports and a well-known restaurant and shopping scene. Viewpoints at four to five kilometres offer quieter leisure walks in the green belt west of Marbella.

At a fixed asking price of €1,900,000, this villa operates in a different segment of the Costa del Sol market than the new-build comparables commonly listed in the region. Projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) represent apartment-led developments at entry level, typically with two or three bedrooms and communal facilities. Priced per square metre, this villa sits near €4,985 per built square metre, which is consistent with the established villa stock of the Marbella golf corridors rather than with volume new-build product. The distinction matters practically. A new-build apartment buyer at €300,000 receives a modern unit, communal pool and developer warranties, but rarely private outdoor space of any scale or a golf-side setting. This villa offers the inverse: age (2006) and the maintenance responsibilities of a private pool and garden, in exchange for 381 square metres of living area, four en-suite bedrooms, a private pool and plot, and a frontline position relative to the Guadalmina course. For households comparing the two routes, the choice usually comes down to service-free lock-and-leave living versus space and privacy. Within its own segment, Guadalmina Alta competes with areas such as El Paraíso, Atalaya and the New Golden Mile towards Estepona. Its distinguishing features are the maturity of the urbanisation, established gardens, street trees and a settled community, and the completeness of nearby amenities: with roughly 800 housing transactions per year recorded in the area, the local market is liquid by provincial standards. The median provincial income of €16,450 underlines that this micro-market operates well above the regional norm, which is reflected both in pricing and in the international character of the resident base. Buyers weighing long-term value will note that inland golf-side plots in Guadalmina have historically held value steadily, given the scarcity of new land within the urbanisation.
