This apartment is located in Las Adelfas, Guadalmina Baja, a consolidated residential area west of San Pedro de Alcántara on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 108 m² of built space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, completed in 2005 (indicative). The beach at Playa de San Pedro lies approximately 1.7 km away, with a supermarket within 200 m and a pharmacy at 146 m. Málaga Airport is roughly 47 km away. The price of €420,000 (as listed) includes private parking and a storage room.
Within the western Costa del Sol, Guadalmina Baja occupies a specific niche: an established, service-dense coastal urbanisation between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, distinct both from Marbella's town-centre fabric and from the newer resort developments further west. Compared with the three reference projects: Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) sits on the eastern side of Málaga province near a traditional Spanish town with a different buyer profile, more domestic, less international-service oriented, but with lower entry pricing. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) offers new construction at a substantially lower price point, but Mijas Costa lacks the mature golf-and-amenity cluster that defines Guadalmina, and density there is higher. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) is the closest comparable in spirit, new-build apartments on the western Costa del Sol, but Estepona's new developments typically sit further from established service centres, whereas Guadalmina Baja offers 69 restaurants, banks, pharmacies and a supermarket within walking radius. The €420,000 asking price (approximately €3,890/m²) therefore buys location maturity rather than build age. Against the broader region, the position at 9 km from Marbella and 4.4 km from Puerto Banús places it within the established 'New Golden Mile' corridor, where values have historically been supported by golf infrastructure and the permanent international population. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off directly: for a similar budget, a new-build further east or west offers modern specifications and efficiency certification, while this property offers immediate walkability, flat coastal access, and a consolidated neighbourhood operating twelve months a year. Local market practice suggests renovation budgets of €15,000-30,000 for kitchens and bathrooms in properties of this age, which narrows the effective price gap with new-build alternatives.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Baja sits between the Río Guadaiza and the Mediterranean, in the coastal zone of Benahavís municipality bordering San Pedro de Alcántara. The area is urbanised with services within walking distance: supermarket at 200 m, pharmacy at 146 m, and roughly 69 restaurants within a 2 km radius. The beach is under 2 km away across flat terrain (0.2% gradient).
The apartment provides two bedrooms and two full bathrooms across 108 m², suitable for couples, small families, or use as a second residence. A private parking space and storage room are included. Balconies face towards the sea and gardens according to listing imagery. The layout supports year-round living with services reachable on foot or by bicycle.
This is not a new-build development. The apartment was completed in 2005 (indicative), making it a resale property of approximately twenty years. Buyers should expect construction standards and finishes from that period rather than current regulations. The listing status is ready, meaning immediate availability upon completion of the purchase process.
The property does not offer a swimming pool, gym, garden of its own, or seafront position as confirmed database features. It is not a penthouse or detached villa. Built area is 108 m² with two bedrooms only, which limits capacity for larger households. Energy efficiency certification data is not available in the provided records.
This apartment fits several identifiable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple seeking a walkable base on the Costa del Sol would find the supermarket and pharmacy within 200 metres relevant, reducing car dependence for daily needs. Buyers wanting a second residence with rental potential benefit from the two-bathroom layout, which supports guest use or letting, and from the year-round service infrastructure of the area. Households with children at international schools may consider the 3.1 km distance to The International School of Estepona workable. Golf players have three courses within three kilometres, El Campanario, El Higueral and El Paraíso, which places the property centrally for regular play. The flat terrain (0.2 per cent gradient to the beach) suits residents who prefer or require level walking routes. Buyers specifically seeking new construction with modern energy certification should look elsewhere, as this is a 2005 build (indicative) without documented efficiency ratings. Those wanting a private pool, large garden, or four-plus bedrooms will not find those features here. The profile is therefore a buyer prioritising location maturity and service density over build age or on-site amenities, at a price point above comparable new-build options further east.
As a property completed in 2005 (indicative), the apartment reflects construction standards of that period on the western Costa del Sol. Listing photography shows a living room with balcony access and ornate wall finishes, a balcony with sea views framed by palm trees, and bedrooms with mirrored fitted wardrobes and space for a desk. One bedroom is currently configured with two single beds, and the living room contains an exercise bike, indicating the property has been used rather than renovated to a display standard. Buyers should budget for assessment of the kitchen, bathrooms, and technical installations, which at twenty years of age may require partial or full modernisation depending on maintenance history. No energy performance certificate data is available in the provided records; Spanish law requires this certificate at the point of sale, so it will be produced during the transaction. Positive documented features include the inclusion of a private parking space and a separate storage room, both of which add practical utility uncommon in some older urbanisations. Construction in Guadalmina Baja from this era typically used conventional Spanish methods: reinforced concrete structure, hollow-brick partition walls, and rendered exterior finishes. An independent technical survey remains the standard instrument for verifying building condition, community maintenance status, and any outstanding community debts (derramas) attached to the property.
The listing price is €420,000 (as listed; an earlier listing cited €435,000, indicating recent price adjustment). This includes a private parking space and a storage room. At 108 m² built, the price equates to approximately €3,890 per m². For comparison, new-build alternatives further along the coast start lower: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. The premium here reflects the consolidated Guadalmina Baja location rather than new construction. Availability is immediate as the property is completed.
Guadalmina Baja functions as an established low-rise residential zone within the coastal band between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona. Daily life here runs on foot: the supermarket sits 200 metres from the door, a pharmacy 146 metres, and within a two-kilometre radius there are some 69 restaurants, ten cafés, four banks and three pharmacies. This density of everyday services is unusual for the western Costa del Sol, where many urbanisations depend on the car for basic errands. The terrain is flat, roughly 0.2 per cent gradient towards the coast, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport for most needs. Eight public transport lines and around fifty stops serve the wider area. The apartment itself dates from 2005 (indicative), with a conventional layout of two bedrooms and two bathrooms over 108 m². Balcony positions shown in listing photography face the sea and communal garden areas, with palm trees visible in the foreground. The residence suits a rhythm based on local amenities: morning errands on foot, beach visits at under two kilometres, and golf or sports facilities, El Campanario at 1.8 km, Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.5 km, within a short drive. The nearest hospital is 3.1 km away, and international schools (The International School of Estepona at 3.1 km, British International School at 8.6 km) place the area within reach of families needing English-language education. Out of season, the neighbourhood retains its permanent population, which keeps restaurants and services operating year-round rather than on a summer-only cycle.
The surrounding area combines residential calm with dense service provision. Within a 2 km radius, residents can access 69 restaurants, ten cafés, four banks, three pharmacies and a dentist, alongside sports centres including Apolo (0.8 km), Polideportivo San Pedro (1.5 km) and a climbing facility (1.6 km). Public transport comprises eight lines with roughly fifty stops in the vicinity, connecting towards San Pedro, Marbella and Estepona. Marbella city centre lies 9 km east, and Puerto Banús marina 4.4 km, meaning both are reachable without a long journey. The nearest hospital is 3.1 km away. The setting is urbanisation-type, meaning low-rise residential blocks set among private gardens rather than a dense town centre, though the walkable services distinguish it from more isolated coastal developments.
The map shows the apartment's position in Guadalmina Baja, west of San Pedro de Alcántara. Note the concentration of services within 500 m, the three beaches under 2 km to the south, and the golf courses surrounding the urbanisation. The A-7 coastal road runs just inland, connecting east to Marbella and west towards Estepona.

The location sits at 9-16 metres above sea level with a 0.2 per cent slope towards the coast, making it one of the flattest coastal positions in the region. Historical sunshine totals reach approximately 3,856 hours per year, with a mean annual temperature of 19.3°C and a range of 12-26°C across the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, extends to roughly six months. Winters are mild by northern European standards, though the 2005-era construction means heating requirements in December and January should be assessed; older Spanish apartments frequently rely on standalone electric or gas heaters rather than central systems. The coastal position at low altitude means no hillside exposure to wind, but also no elevated views, the visual setting is garden-level and maritime.
