This completed ground-floor apartment is located in Guadalmina Baja, an established residential area within the municipality of Marbella on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers 139 m² of built space across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a 28 m² terrace and a 34 m² private garden facing east onto golf-course surroundings. The apartment forms part of a gated community with night-time security, a communal swimming pool and landscaped gardens, and includes a private underground parking space. The beach at San Pedro de Alcántara lies approximately 1.7 km away, with Marbella town centre around 9 km east and Puerto Banús roughly 4.5 km along the coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Baja sits between the Río Guadaiza and the Mediterranean, bordering golf courses on its landward side and the beachside district of San Pedro de Alcántara to the east. Shops, a pharmacy and everyday services are within walking distance, and the A-7 coastal road connects the area to Marbella, Estepona and the airports at Málaga and Gibraltar. The setting is residential rather than touristic, with low-rise housing throughout.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout with two en-suite bathrooms accommodates families and extended-stay households. The ground-floor position with direct terrace and garden access suits residents who prefer outdoor living without stairs. East orientation provides morning sun, while the communal pool and gardens reduce private maintenance obligations. A private underground parking space and a supermarket at 200 m support year-round residential use.
This is not a new-build project. The building was completed in 2000 (indicative) and is documented as being in good condition. Buyers should expect construction standards, insulation levels and installations corresponding to that period rather than current new-build specifications. No phased delivery or off-plan payment structure applies; the property is available in its existing completed state.
The property is sold unfurnished. There is no private swimming pool; pool facilities are communal. The private plot is limited to 34 m² of garden alongside a 28 m² terrace, with no additional land. Energy-efficiency labelling is not documented. Parking is a single underground space. The east orientation means direct afternoon and evening sun on terrace and garden is limited, which affects outdoor use in cooler months.

This property fits households that prioritise a completed, established address in central-western Marbella over new-build specification. Typical situations include: families needing four bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms within reach of international schools such as The International School of Estepona (3.1 km) and the British International School (8.6 km); buyers seeking a ground-floor unit with direct garden access, avoiding stairs and lift dependency; residents planning year-round living who value a supermarket, pharmacy and sports facilities within walking or short driving distance; and golf-oriented owners who want a front-line golf position with course views. The property is less suited to buyers who require sea views, a private pool, furnished delivery, or the energy performance and warranty coverage of a new-build property. The east orientation suits those who use outdoor space mainly in the morning and prefer shaded interiors in the afternoon; households wanting all-day sun on the terrace should factor this in. The 34 m² garden accommodates outdoor dining and planting but not large-scale recreation. Buyers intending extensive renovation should verify with the community what external modifications are permitted, as gated complexes in this area commonly regulate façade and garden alterations. For investors, the profile is that of a resale family home in a stable rental area rather than a short-let holiday unit, and intended use should be checked against local letting regulations.
The building dates from 2000 (indicative) and is recorded as being in good condition. The interior photographs show a functional layout with a covered patio, bedrooms with balcony or outward views, a twin bedroom and a bathroom with bathtub, consistent with the finish standards of Spanish residential construction from that period rather than contemporary specifications. Because the property is sold unfurnished, incoming owners will typically budget for kitchen equipment, wardrobes and furniture. Two of the three bathrooms are en-suite, which limits morning congestion in a four-bedroom household. Buyers should verify during technical inspection: the age and condition of the electrical installation and boiler or air-conditioning units; window glazing and framing, as 2000-era builds commonly used double glazing but with lower thermal performance than current standards; and the waterproofing and drainage of the 28 m² terrace, a recurring maintenance item in ground-floor units of this age. No energy-performance certificate data has been documented; obtaining the certificate is a legal requirement for sale in Spain and will establish the actual rating. The communal elements, night-time security, landscaped gardens and the swimming pool, are managed by the community of owners, and their condition and cost are reflected in the community fees. The private underground parking space protects the vehicle from sun and reduces summer interior heat load. Overall, the specification should be assessed as a well-maintained twenty-five-year-old property in a managed complex, with upgrade potential in installations and finishes depending on the buyer's requirements.
The asking price is €850,000 for a completed, immediately available apartment. At 139 m² built, this corresponds to approximately €6,100 per square metre, a level consistent with established resale stock in Guadalmina Baja rather than with new-build developments further west. The property includes a private underground parking space in the price; no furnishing is included. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, operate in different market segments and locations, so they serve mainly as a reference for the price differential between Marbella's established beachside-golf areas and newer eastern and western schemes. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs, community fees and the ongoing maintenance of a 2000-vintage building.
Daily life in this Guadalmina Baja apartment centres on the sequence of living room, terrace and private garden, which together function as one continuous ground-level living space. The east orientation means the outdoor areas receive sun from early morning until around midday, making them practical for breakfast and morning use, while the interior remains shaded during the warmest afternoon hours. With 139 m² built, four bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms, the layout supports both permanent residence and extended seasonal stays by families or visiting guests. The neighbourhood operates year-round. A supermarket is located approximately 200 m from the property and a pharmacy 146 m, so basic shopping does not require a car. Restaurants, cafés and banks cluster within a two-kilometre radius, around Guadalmina Commercial Centre and the San Pedro seafront. The apartment sits front-line to a golf course, which provides an open green outlook rather than urban density. Noise levels in the area are generally low outside the summer months, when coastal traffic increases along the A-7 and N-340 corridors. Marbella and Puerto Banús are both within a fifteen-minute drive for wider shopping, dining and marina facilities. Eight public transport lines with around fifty stops in the surrounding area offer a limited but usable alternative to driving. Sports facilities, including the Polideportivo San Pedro and several golf clubs, lie within three kilometres. For a household combining school-age children with seasonal or full occupancy, the proximity of international and private schools within a short drive is a practical feature of the location.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical density. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, 4 banks, 3 pharmacies and a dentist, which means daily errands rarely require a car. The terrain is flat, the slope toward the beach is approximately 0.2%, so walking and cycling are realistic options for shopping and beach trips. Playa de San Pedro and Playa Atalaya both lie around 1.7 km away, a twenty-minute walk or short cycle. Hospital facilities are approximately 3.1 km away in the San Pedro area. Public transport consists of eight lines with around fifty stops, connecting the district to Marbella, San Pedro centre and Estepona; services are adequate for commuting but car ownership remains the norm among residents. Traffic builds along the coastal corridor in July and August, which lengthens short journeys during peak season, while the off-season months of October to May are notably quieter. The municipality of Marbella has approximately 148,000 inhabitants, and the western districts around Guadalmina maintain a year-round population, so restaurants and services do not close outside summer as they do in more seasonal resorts.
The map shows the property's position in Guadalmina Baja, immediately adjacent to the golf course and roughly 1.7 km from the beaches of San Pedro and Atalaya. Marbella centre lies 9 km east and Puerto Banús 4.4 km along the coast. Supermarket and pharmacy markers cluster within 200 m of the property.

The location sits at roughly 9–16 metres above sea level on flat coastal terrain, with a gradient of about 0.2% toward the beach, so there are no significant climbs between the property and the sea. The climate is Mediterranean with a historical average of 3,856 sunshine hours per year and an annual mean temperature of 19.3°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The sea reaches temperatures of 20°C or above for approximately six months of the year, typically May through October, defining a practical swimming season of half the year for beach use and longer for the heated communal pool. The east orientation of the terrace and garden aligns morning outdoor use with the coolest part of summer days, while the front-line golf setting provides open green space immediately adjacent to the property. Rainfall concentrates in autumn and winter months; the flat terrain means drainage rather than slope is the relevant consideration for the garden.

The nearest beaches, Playa de San Pedro, Playa Atalaya and Playa Isdabe, lie approximately 1.7 to 1.8 km from the property on flat terrain, reachable on foot in around twenty minutes. The San Pedro seafront has a restored dune area and a long palm-lined paseo marítimo suited to walking and cycling year-round. For golf, the location is front-line to the course at Guadalmina Baja, with El Campanario (1.8 km), El Higueral (2.5 km) and El Paraíso (2.8 km) within a five-minute drive, giving residents access to several courses without leaving the immediate area. Sports facilities include the Apolo centre at 0.8 km, the Polideportivo San Pedro with municipal pools and courts at 1.5 km, and a climbing facility (Rocodromo) at 1.6 km. Puerto Banús marina, 4.4 km away, provides berths, water sports and nautical services. EV charging points operated by Activacharge are available from approximately 2.6 km.

Within the Marbella, Estepona corridor, Guadalmina Baja belongs to the category of established, low-rise residential areas that developed around golf courses from the 1960s onward. Compared with newer projects elsewhere on the coast, the value proposition here rests on location maturity rather than construction age: streets are lined, vegetation is established, and the commercial infrastructure, Guadalmina Commercial Centre, San Pedro's high street, the seafront chiringuitos, has operated for decades. The price of approximately €6,100 per built square metre reflects this. Set against the listed comparables, the differential is substantial: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona at €269,000. Those schemes are new-build, carry current energy standards and developer warranties, but sit in areas with either a more seasonal profile (Torre del Mar, eastern Mijas) or a still-developing service network (Estepona east). Guadalmina Baja instead offers a 2000-vintage building within walking distance of a supermarket and pharmacy, three golf clubs inside three kilometres, Puerto Banús at 4.4 km and Marbella centre at 9 km. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off explicitly: new-build specification and lower entry price further afield, versus an established address with immediate year-round amenities in central-western Marbella. Within Marbella itself, Guadalmina Baja generally prices below frontline-beach areas such as Los Monteros or the Golden Mile, and comparably with adjacent golfside districts like El Paraíso and Atalaya, with front-line golf positioning being the distinguishing variable between individual properties.
